I had heard about them, but never listened to KING CRIMSON before this site

but i also learned about the flower kings, good genesis, more about jethro tull, more yes, more pink floyd, greencarnation, umm....im sure theres more

I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

the samples section here really helped in getting me started on diving into Italian prog.  The more I hear, the more I love it.

I go to this site through a link from an Israeli Prog Rock site which is very good as well. Through it I discovered many bands at first.

I have discovered quite alot of bands here (in addition to what I already know), and many have turned out to be among what you call favorites. Among them are  A silver Mt. Zion, Agnus, Alamaailman Vasarat, Alphataurus, Baclay James Harvest, Bubu, Cai, Citizen Cain, Eloy, Explosions In The Sky, Finch, Finisterre, Glass Hammer, Gong, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, IQ, Maldoror, Malibran, Mia, Mogwai, Nektar, Nuova Era, Ozric Tentacles, Paatos, Phish, Quella Vecchia Locanda, Samla Mammas Manna, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Syzygy, Taal... I got tired ,  but there are more.

Steve Hillage (really a unique sound that grabbed me from the first sample I heard).

 

Also:

Brand X

Mahavishnu Orchestra

   I really developed a taste for Jazz/Fusion on this site.

   Thanks ProgArchives!

Yup, join the club ...

Ultimately if I had to pick just one it would be PFM ...

but there are many (half of them Italian) including LDF, Corte Dei Miracoli, Metamorfosi, Area and a few others ... also

Canadian groups Harmonium and Pollen

UK's Refugee, Comus and Khan

Chile's Los Jaivos

... I'd better stop

So far...

  • TAAL
  • ANGLAGARD
  • OZRIC TENTACLES
  • SAMLA MAMMAS MANA
  • GURU GURU

To name a few, Taal & Samla Mammas Manna being my favorites at the moment.
Excelent musicians..

Also listening to more modern bands such as Dream Theater, The Mars Volta, Porcupine Tree and Spock's Beard and quite like what I've heard.

Philippe made me discover this excellent krautrock one man band: Deuter.

It's a shame that this band is not listed in the archives, while Queen is.
One of the most acid, cosmic music ever.
