I majored in Philosophy, and after graduation I gradually found myself in the healthcare business. Went back to post-graduate work at Georgia State University a few years later (Masters in Business and Masters in Healthcare Administration). But the philosophy major work really helped hone my writing skills.

i was just thinking of the three greats of Canadia prog heavy music and their relation to sci-fi themes
Ah, gotcha. Rush, and who are the two others? An interesting concept for sure. It can, and has been butchered though. I must say.
I was thinking that too. I know of a few other Canadian HP bands, but I'd hardly call them "greats."
What's another one? I honestly can't think of one off the top of my head. Is there a certain similarity in terms of sound that each band mutually have that you dislike?
Warpig was the band I was thinking of. One of those obscure early 70s groups that pretty much no one knows about. Crunchy, bluesy stuff. Awesome stuff if you're into early Uriah Heep and Atomic Rooster and such.
I'm Canadian, and listened to Warpig when growing up in Ontario. Another great Canadian heavy prog band is Starchild, which at one point had Welsh band Lone Star's drummer as part of the group.

More driving today, at least I have an ipod playlist the whole family can enjoy.
literally impossible with my family. While me and my brother share fairly similar music tastes, and my dad enjoys the lighter things we like, my mom and little sister usually can't stand 99% of our stuff D:
No one in my family has tastes similar to mine in pretty much anything :(
Random! Quote is from Page 1
Pretty much the same for me.
None of my family (siblings or kids) or any of my friends get into the music I like. And this leads to me being 'the creepy old guy all by himself' at concerts where by and by the crowd is the young and vivacious. The Aussie version of Progfest at the Civic Hotel in Perth last night was one such occasion. As was going to The Bakery to see Damo Suzuki with Pond. As will be the Tame Impala concert next month and the Nightwish concert early next year.

I have my parents to owe for my taste in music. They played Rush and Yes constantly as I grew up and my dad also told me about Genesis. Once i got in the internet I found out about more bands like them and just explored all over the musical spectrum. We also have fairly similar taste in stuff like movies n stuff.

I had to discover all of these bands myself with the help of some guys I have lost touch with over the years!
I think the closet to prog my parents ever came was pre-1965 Beatles!
