Is ProgArchives serious business? - Progressive Rock Music Forum

I'll nail my colours to the mast.

Yes we are a serious site, and proud of what we have achieved. Sometimes though, we can lose sight of the fact that this is a place to enjoy yourself, a relief from the trials of real life.

! I do tend to take everything seriously, sometimes a bit too much so. However, I recognise we do get too caught up in some things sometimes, and lose sight of the fact that we are all here to relieve the stress and tensions of our everyday life.

I have to say I started out just doing serious reviews here. Then I discovered the forums. Bwhahahahaha! Evil%20Smile

Great opportunity to indulge in a little silliness.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I'm on the fence here. Yes, PA is serious in that it serves a very important function in today's music world and Yes, we do tend to take ourselves a bit too seriously from time to time.

I find the top brass here take the site very seriously, and I thank them for their commitment to helping music fans both find great music & also share the passion.
I love the occasional heated debate, and have observed that the most (ahem) emotional discussions calm down as one poster apologizes or steps back & re-iterates their position in a more calm manner.
I've been here for about 2 & a half yrs, first as Pantacruelgruel, and now Debrewguy. I've also learned to think twice if I seem to get too involved on a thread.
But the site work done in assigning bands to genres, creating new genres to better assist & guide those of us who are always open to new treasures, the seemingly inexhaustible knowledge of admin members, collabs, and yes, even the rest of us when it comes to Prog (and all music in general) makes this THE music site that I regularly visit.
Indeed, the hardest part when we disconnected the internet for a few months was not that I could no longer do my banking online, but that I couldn't follow new reviews, MP3 streams, and the rollicking threads found in these pages.
Thank you thank you thank you.

The internet is very serious business.
