Completely by accident. I was searching for Beefheart samples and came across this site, leading to my obsession with "When I See Mommy I Feel Like A Mummy"! Then, I began looking at the rest of the site and discovered that all of the bands I liked the most were on here, under this "Prog" label, which I had not been familiar with before. This led to me discovering other bands that I liked that where a bit more obscure and that brings us to today! I was already familiar with Tull, Zappa, Harum, Rush, Floyd, King Crimson, Genesis, ELP, and Yes when I found this site ... so, it has expanded my horizon's quite a bit!

I wish I could say it was something other than the Great God Google, but it wasn't.

The same way I would imagine other loungers discovered it - by dicking around on the computer.

Must've been around summer 2004, I think, I had just discovered Yes' Close to the Edge. I don't remember the exact details, I must have googled the album. Ah, I have such vivid memories of that summer, if only I could live through it again, and discover all those classics...

(In my best Tommy Chong voice) Seriously man! I just opened my eyes and there it was!
I believe it was my, then girlfriend, now wife who found it and told me about it in May 2004. Signed up been here ever since. From reading older posts look like that was just a few months after launch.

My brother fell in love with jazz-fusion and one day he was browsing the internet and Progarchives appeared. From there his musical taste expanded and now my brother and I are major prog fans. But he never got an account so I felt the need that I had to.

I was skulking around in proto-prog land looking up something about Jefferson Airplane and wondering what ever happened to "the good'ol days". Now I'm skulking around here.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I was a Prog 'early adopter'(1970ish) and have built up a large canon of albums. I began reviewing these older albums on another forum to get people interested in prog. A question was asked, and my research (via a well known search engine) led me here.
There is so much information here and I have found a lot more to pique my interest. My collection has substantially increased since joining.

I research on the Internet. I was asking myself: Is there an incredible website wich would make me discover progressive rock and in wich there would be my favorite prog artists? And then I found PA of wich I was truly satisfied.

Probably Google or another search engine. Before that I was a regular visitor of the Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock site. After that less and less. Don't get me wrong, GEPR was nice, and still is, but PA was a more developed site with more contributors and was renewing itself more and more, and the forums were, and are, very good.

GEPR was my biggest resource before PA. That and the related Ground & Sky which hasn't been updated since early 2009.
