44, I've been a Proghole since 1973. Maybe sooner, depending on what you view as "Prog."

I listen to a bit of everything, mostly modern stuff like Echolyn, IZZ, K2, Shaun Guerin, Steve unruh, Underground Railroad, Thieves Kitchen.... I listen to the classics on occasion, but I like to stay fresh. After Hearing Heart of the Sunrise around 3,600 times, I can wait a bit before I spin it again.

I'm also into instrumental stuff, mainly, Allan Holdsworth, Jonas Hellborg/Shawn Lane, Kofi Baker, McGill/Manring/Stevens and Ohm.

49, but don't jump to the conclusion that us oldies are stuck in some sort of 70's timezone. The best music to listen to is something you have not heard before. The thrill for me is finding new works that I can grow to appreciate over a number of listens and believe me, as an oldie who has been through a few generations, there is far more good music being produced today than in the 70's. I think you will find most of us old proggers have an appreciation of music that transcends time and place.

Just in case anyone has not seen it, there is a pinned poll of members' ages in the Polls forum:

http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=703&am p;PN=1

You might want to vote in that poll so that the site Admin. gets an idea of the spread of ages of the membership.

I'm 17. I've only been listening to prog for a little over a year, but I already have a vinyl collection that is currently somewhere around 160. I mostly listen to the major British bands (mainly due to the difficulty in finding some of the more obscure/world bands). My parents really didn't listen to any prog, but when looking through a box of tapes my dad had hidden away I found Wish You Were Here, which he had completely forgotten he had.

I'm 18 years old. And I'm also interested in both old and new bands, as long as I can connect to the music (no, never try Shub Niggurath on me again!). Been proggin' since I was almost 12 and mainly listen to Marillion, Porcupine Tree and Anathema.

Lately, I listen to a lot of more progressive death and black metal albums and to a lot of music by Oceansize (hey, I'm going to their gig in 2 weeks time).

As you might notice, I'm very unpredictable

Interested in my reviews?

I'm 41 years young,  but leach time I go to a Prog' concert I feel younger because the average age of the audience is way over 55.

I just entered my roaring forties. So it's 40.

I'm especially interested in '70's prog. There's lots of good '80's stuff too (neo-prog).

I do like newer bands, but they're mostly from the non-prog section. Artists like Air, Bjork, Los Lobos and Massive Attack. Eclectic, but not prog (though maybe some people would make an exception for Air).

42 years old, into prog since about 1975-ish & still discovering new music, be it undiscovered (by me ) 1970s classics like Gentle Giant (cheers Peter), newer bands such as Flower Kings or Echolyn (cheers Danbo), bands I would never have thought about a couple of years ago. I also have the dubious honour of having introduced Opeth to this site back in Feb last year... Then you get into my more eclectic tastes, from Diamanda Galas to Diamond Head, from Mozart to Motorhead, from Bax to Black Crowes, King Oliver to King Crimson... you get the picture.

As my wife says, "music is food" or as Zappa said "music is the best"
