I'm just curious how old most of you are. My guess is that you guys are mainly in the 15-25 age range since many seem to focus on newer bands that most older fans probably wouldn't be aware of(ie Mars Volta, DT etc). I'm 35 and I usually feel young in the world of prog but it could be different in here. If so that's a good thing because it means prog is finally gaining a new generation and reaching a younger audience. :)

OK I guess I generalized a bit too much but once I saw a gray haired guy at a prog show and he didn't even know who Rush was. Just recently a saw the same guy wearing a GG t-shirt. Anyway, it just seems to me that most prog fans are older than me(I got into prog in the mid 80's) but I think that's slowly changing(thank god).

Already covered in this thread:

Hope that helps! Check out the ones you don't know - they're all absolute masterpieces!

Edit: it keeps adding a space before the final "0". Remove that when you cut and paste.

34. That's about five years older than Ian was when he wrote "too old to rock and roll, too young to die".
