Stuff like `Great King Rat', `Ogre Battle' etc blew me away! That of course lead to Pink Floyd, to Genesis, etc, and so Queen really got things rolling for me! Like I mentioned, I don't listen to them nearly as much these days, but I've repurchased all the remastered CD's over the years, and the band really means so much to me!

I see :) yes, Queen also still has a very special place in my heart :) I too think the atmosphere of their first albums is very special :)

Welcome Daria....I have a branch of family that came from Illmitz in the late 1800s, great great grandparents I think...never knew them of course, but hey.....small world!! 

Enjoy the archives.  

A little something to bring tears to the eyes of any Queen fans. With a slight possibility of bleeding ears to boot.

One more "welcome" wouldn't hurt.

I still remember air guitaring to Queen when I was in Junior High School.

Hello and welcome! 
I think I remember you from Queenzone. But that was eons ago. Have fun here! :)

They do mean a lot to me, though! Wow, you weren't kidding about it being cold, all those snowy pictures on your band page lol! It's summer down here, so fans and air-conditioners are working overtime! By the way, I liked that cool band/collage picture of you all, looks very striking and 70's, especially the black and white version! Good luck with your music, keep us updated!

thank you very very much :)! Glad you liked the picture too ^^ my band members tell me they want another lol XD
Cool, so you were probably a big Queen fan too then :)?
Yes, there was a whole lot of snow in Vienna XD - all the bigger dust bins were looking like mushrooms because of the snow on their top lol
Thank you very much again and sending you a bit of "freshness" - maybe it'll work out ^^:D ok, I will keep you informed :)!

thank you everyone  !! Yeah, Yes and Pink Floyd are among my favourites :)

here is a demo version of one of my band's songs (rather classic rock , but we also have proggy things in our channel) :) I thought I 'd post it directly, because facebook is a bit confusing (with all the different links) :-O

I know PA for couple of years - it's an excellent resource !! -, but only registered yesterday :) I am from Kiev, but I live in Vienna since quite a time (20 years now - ok I'm not a little girl anymore XD, I'm 24 ), I am a university student struggling why I have not chosen music/ composition studies instead ... but I love my current studies anyway... so I'm living a life between many identities, you can say - I'm a very complex person , but on the outside friendly and optimistic :) I discovered prog through my father, who listened to black market tape copies of YES and Pink Floyd and some other classic rock/prog bands in the Soviet Union - then, when I was 14/15 he gave me the "Classic Yes" album as a gift, and I have fallen in love since with prog - before, I was a huge QUEEN fan :) I think I already gave you a hint :) - yes, I'm making music and I love it... I want to learn and absorb many things, to give something special to the world, but I think, it's still a long way - I sing, compose and play the piano in my band DARIA - feel free to check out :) http://www.facebook.com/dariarock so ... it's nice to meet you all :)! thank you very much for reading and many greetings from cold Vienna, brrrr ^^

Hi Daria, Welcome to PA, I see you like Yes and Pink Floyd
