I am a member of Metal Archives. I was listening to some Dream Theater one day and asked myself, "I wonder if there is a Progressive Rock Archives?" I am here now.

 As for myself... I must have found this site back in 2005 or so, where I made an account under a different name, but only ever wrote one review for myself (it's for Crimson Glory's 'Transcendence,' if you're interested in seeing what my writing looked like when I was 11 or 12!) but I let it alone for a few years and came back to it in 2009 because I was starved to find some new music, and share my opinions with people.

There are many links available for Prog Archives and so I stumbled upon the site in that way. I noticed a high volume of musicians belonging to the site and thought I would run across the musicians I worked with during the "Mad Times". So far I haven't had the best of luck as they would surely know me from my posts. However, the members on the site are truly informative on a diverse amount of music and that will do just as well. I consider myself lucky if anyone communicates with me because I am a jabberbox.

It was in the fall of 2004. In these days I have just become fond of Traffic (after more than 30 years of listening to prog). A Google search directed me ProgArchives.com and I found a lot more to my liking, which re-kindled my smouldering love for prog. I visited this site regularly, but I remained true to my principles concerning internet anonimity for some 43 months before I finally signed up.

In the pursuit of new music I think I was looking up older bands that I liked such as YES and PINK FLOYD and a link brought me here. I remember thinking to myself I had hit the jackpot when I discovered the archives. All of my favourite bands were here and so many bands I had heard cited as influences were here as well. I just began a daily quest to check out new and old bands and I haven't looked back since. A BRILLIANT RESOURCE FOR ALL THINGS PROG. |

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

I was a member of yesfans, a forum for fans of yes ... and having exhausted most of Yes' discography, was looking for recommendations. I found a topic of a guy who recommended a band called Pulsar, linking to their PA page because of the streaming track there. I clicked through and not long after was addicted to this site and had left yesfans behind.
As a side note, since I joined this site I have been continuously behind on my wishlist. I haven't yet found the time to purchase Yes' Magnification yet, for example, nor that Pulsar album that brought me here in the first place...or a few hundred others. XD |

It was in spring 2008. I was in my school's computer lab. We were supposed to be doing a math excel project, but I got bored and typed up "top prog albums" on google and this came up. I learned SO much about prog, it still makes my head spin.

A link for a review on the old Flower Kings website. I had found them on Amazon after I bought a Rush CD. They recommended DT, then Transatlantic then I tried Unfold the Future. Went to the TFK website and on to PA.
I guess Vapor Trails was good for something after all. |

My cousin (younger cousin!) introduced me to Uriah Heep's music so I started to look for some info about this band in Internet. After I typed "Uriah Heep" in Google, progarchives website was one of the results.... And this is how my prog-rock journey started

Wow I'm impressed you all remember about this. I don't have a clue really. I only know it was by searching for reviews via Google, about 4-5 years ago. But I didn't register till a year ago, thinking "let's do a couple of reviews", and see what happened next... |

Andy, I must be one of the biggest fans of CC's Somewhere But Yesterday out there, as you can guess by my 5-star review here in PA. An absolute masterpiece, you've got my deepest admiration.
As for the OP question, I am not sure if it was by a link on the site DPRP (Dutch Progressive Rock Page) which I frequently checked out, or simply by some Googling. Great find either way.

Googling. At first I preferred www.progwereld.org (a Dutch website about modern progressive releases), but soon I began to understand the genius of PA.
