Most of my friends don't like prog. So I don't have anyone to discuss about prog with. I'm sure many others have the same problem, so I decided to post this topic and hopefully it'll be a solution to this problem.

Everyone interested could tell what bands they listen to or anything about their taste. And then if you see someone with a similar taste to yours, then you could pm the person.

I'll start with mine:
Favorite bands:
Porcupine Tree
Pain Of Salvation
Spock's Beard/Neal Morse
Dream Theater

Also listen to:
Yes and other old stuff
Fates Warning
Planet X
Projects with members of DT
Shadow Gallery
Rush
The Mars Volta
and many others

Favorite song:
When The Water Breaks by LTE

This is a nice idea. Something similar to the nearest neigbour on www.last.fm

My favourite bands are in my signature.

Yes, a very nice idea, although a few of us have this covered already.

Most peole have non prog friends, it's a common and unfortunate phenomena. Most of my friends like Hip Hop

Thanks to prog archives we at least have an online support group

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

At least my bandmates like some prog!

Ops, I forgot my prog favourites:

ANEKDOTEN, BILL BRIUFORD'S EARTHWORKS (newer acoustic), ELP (early), HAWKWIND, JADE WARRIOR (early), KING CRIMSON (72-74, 82-84), LANDBERK, PAATOS, RUFUS ZUPHALL, RUSH (!), THE SPACIOUS MIND, TASAVALLAN PRESIDENTTI, TREES, URIAH HEEP, WIGWAM (pre-1975)

There's many more, but maybe these will do now.

Get some new friends!

Other than that you can spend many a happy hour talking to your virtual friends in the PA forums.

Well I wasn't really that serious. My friends don't like prog, but it's not the end of the world.. I was just trying to see if other people share similar music taste...
