Wow ! some one who is older than me and younger than Dean. I don't know how many times I have beeb accused of showing false ID because I look about ten years younger. Especially at airports. I AM 50 years old. Maybe I should dye my hair grey and get Clint Eastwood to permantally disfigure my face. And, eat a lot of cheesecake so as to gain some weight. I am only 165 lbs ( old English imperial ) My wife has to watchher diet but I can eat anything. |

15 years old. It was Metallica's first 3 albums that got me hooked into the progressive metal side of prog. I'm 31 now and my love has never died since. |

I've always listened it it since I was a kid in the car. But I really started when I was 14 I think. I'm 20 now.

Been listening to classic rock when I was 14-15 y.o. Then, when I was 15-16, I stumbled into PF (all those high school kids were wearing those DSOTM T-shirts) ... and never looked back. But if you don't count them ... KC ... . Saw the term "progressive rock" in Wiki, did some research, found out about KC, visited dizzler.com, heard the Mellotron theme from "The Court ..." ... and THEN I never looked back.
Anyway, I think there is a thread like that somewhere.

Was born into it. My dad was into prog. Grew up listening to Genesis and Pinkfloyd, and other goodies.
Turns out it was in my blood. Listened to it without knowing I listened to it! I always had weird funky ass taste in music compared to friends, but it wasn't until a ex boy friend of mine pointed out most of my music was prog (I do listen to a fair bit of heavy rock, metal and alternative as well) that I decided to investigate. The ex was a huge prog rocker and he just kept pulling out music from my childhood all the time. The relationship ended, but I have continued reaquaint myself with my musical roots. Here I was thinking I just require a bit more from my music, than one gets from your average pop song. Edited by Icarus Effect - September 15 2012 at 07:53 |

When I was 10 in 1987, my father offered me "Dark Side" for my birthday.
Firstly I thought it was a weird gift, but after a few weeks, it had changed my "vision" of music. |

I think I was 12 and Tommy Vance played a bit of 2112 on Friday Rock Show late 70's in UK so Rush was my gateway. Then the neo-prog revival thing happened with Marillion, IQ, Pallas, Twelfh Night etc and I was hooked.

Think you mean '21st CENTURY SCHZOID MAN.'. And yes. A brilliant track indeed. Pretty much a track that started it all. 😏 |

When I was 10 I discovered my dad's Dream Theater collection (only two or three CDs). I was hooked immediately and got their whole discography in the next couple of years.

Discovering live videos of Jethro Tull in 2010, it stuck me to my chair. I watched every video from the 70's I could find on youtube over and over and over again. I found PA shortly after and basically formed my prog culture from there.
Prog really changed my views on music. |

My father old prog/hard rock fan. In my childhood in our house that always sounded KC, JT, Yes, PF, DP, LZ etc. But seriously listen to prog I started in 20 years. Prior to that time I was interested in extreme metal music.

Ohh yes, I do remember. Pink Floyd – The Wall changed my life. I was 15, around 1999, just moved to a new and weird city where nobody seems understand me (and they didn’t heheheh). I went in the Roger Waters worls like an orphan, really. I HAD to understand each lyric on that double LP and translated them to understand (I’m brazilian), I had to learn each and every song on the acoustic guitar and so on. That definitelly changed everything. Then came APP (Edgar Allan Poe), Renaissance (Ashes), Jethro Tull (TAAB) and Yes (Yes Album). Since them I dig each and every piece I could. My maniac side thanks all those forgotten albums from 70′s/80′s/90′s and why not 00′s

Yeah, it was the wall for me too...it was all my dad's fault
 I had no choice in the matter  I was jumping around in the house singing every lyric to the wall by the time I was 5...and in my late teens, after learning about prog and that the floyd is included in this genre, I started exploring ever since. |

I blame my Dad, used to play ELP all the time, and it got me. Then I found Genesis, and it all got worse from there...

I liked about 10% of it and then in 2005 I met a few friends that liked it too and went from concert buddies to actually good friends with and my love for prog grew exponentially from there. TOOL, RUSH, Pink Floyd, Dream Theater and Opeth were basically our gateway drug into the world of Progressive Music.
