Topic: The PROG Appreciation Thread
Posted: November 28 2009 at 01:08

I thought this was a joke topic to be honest or at least poking fun at all the "Why don't non-prog fans get prog?" and "Why is prog so much better?" threads.

I suppose this is a bad topic, but if you still want to post you certainly can

Prog has become a sort of "hobby" for me. I've been into it since High School (some 30 + years ago). I love the older bands (Tull, ELP, Yes, PFM, Genesis, etc) as well as the newer prog and neo-prog bands (IQ, Touchstone, Grand Stand,Pallas etc.) I listen to prog radio online and even have a couple of books about prog that I flip through regularly. I even play it at work, getting some bemused looks from co-workers but after they listen for a while I see their faces light up. I even was able to get my son into some of it, and he now loves Rush as well. Gotta keep prog alive throughout the generations!!

Prog Bands, Artists and Genres Appreciation (7 Viewing)
Discuss specific prog bands and their members or a specific sub-genre

Anyway... Prog has changed my life. I got into prog hearing Pink Floyd's WYWH about three or four years ago, and since then I've been discovering fantastic bands. Prog really "expanded my horizons". It got me interested in poetry, made me appreciate more music styles and made me a more open minded person. Before I heard WYWH I used to listen to all the crap shown on MTV, though I never did enjoy that music as much as I enjoy the music I listen now, it can't be even compared!

I suppose everybody on this site is a prog fan, and we appreciate prog all the time on the forums so this thread might be a little but unnececcary... but it's a nice reason to show my love for prog once more. Smile

Don't think this has been done before, and I think we rightfully need to start one. Prog is a genre we all know and love and has filled our hearts with some of the most beautiful and strange music ever made. Lets hear it for prog!
