I think it is obvious where my name originates. As for my avatar... well... it's just a funny picture a friend showed me.

Sorry, but my avatar changed... I don't really think the Quadrophenia cover is funny, but the original picture was.

Hahahah, I was about to say when I read that.  What's so funny about Pete Townshend's ambitions to raise rock to an art-form... Hmmm, I wonder if he liked prog rock.

Gaston is just a nickname I've had for awhile. I use it on mostly every forum. Now it's become some sort of Canadian thing since I'm from Canada, eh? Bob and Doug are just awesome, what can I say. Coo-roo-cuckoo-curoo-cuckoo!!!  (hey, Geddy's on one of their albums, I guess that accounts for something!  )

It's the same guy. Great minds think alike.

My nickname is dedicated to Coltrane and and a pun on my last name.

I'm too lazy to choose an avatar.

Through the years, my family and I have lived a lot of different places here in the States, but always end up returning to the western slope of the grand Rockie Mtns. along the spectacular Wasatch range.

(Only been to three "foreign" countries: Canada, Mexico, West Virginia ).

Slipperman = I saw the Musical Box to The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway in NYC in December...fourth row, center...the the slipperman costume just appalled me but I also felt some sympathy for it as well...that doesn't really relate to me personality-wise, but I just wanted some kind of Genesis reference (cuz they're the best!) and that was fresh on my mind.

Avatar: Because that album (Todd Rundgren's Utopia, their first album) BLEW MY FREAKING MIND the first time I heard it, and I still love it immensely with every listen. And there's something about the album cover, it's one of my favorites.

great thread, been fun reading about everyone else's choices...

Oh yeah, I only have 63 kilos for 1.74 meters , so I'm not bloated up at all, I'm an average schoolboy from Romania, with a taste for prog!

Epic. Simply epic.

I've been using Dragon Phoenix as my internet handle for over 5 years now on various boards. It is an ancient Chinese symbol, representing the male and female sides of life (like yin-yang). I got it from the name of a restaurant in Singapore (we lived in that country 1999-2002) - I liked the sound. The avatar is one of the best dragon phoenix pictures I could find on the web.

Avatar is from the back of the CD liner from Atom Heart Mother; I guess you could call it Cows (3 Different Ones).

And the nick (Cluster One) is the first song off of Floyd's successful 1994 rebirth The Division Bell. The song comes replete with the sounds of moving tectonic plates miles under the earth's crust. Now that's what I call Progressive!

I finally have an avatar!  (Thanks to my guardian angel...and, no, Aaron, I'm not gay )  It is the cover of Klaatu's "Hope," one of my favorite prog albums, and one of the most underrated albums is music history.  (The album needs to be taken on its own terms: a shamelessly Beatlesque band, with hints of PF, MB et al.)  It is also one of the most spectacular album covers ever.

And - you heard it here first (and it will not be repeated! ) - my nickname, Maani, is the first name of Maani Rantel, a pseudonym I have used for years, which is an anagram of my real name.

Peace.
