More central, Hunterdon county, too many rich conservatives here. :P New Paltz, where I'm going to school, is the opposite (hippies and more hippies, I'll probably fit in somewhat)

I didn't start until 15 or so, well I like some prog stuff before that but I wasn't aware of prog as a genre until then. Did you pick it up from your parents?

I started similarly to you, Mike; I started at age 14 or so. My dad showed me Rush first and then some others like Yes, Genesis, ELO, Supertramp, etc. Wink

I'm from South Jersey. Not exactly proud of that since I live near Camden (but in a much nicer town).

My brother has three of them though, so I'm familiar with their earlier albums.

Knowing your taste, you should really try some of their Kid A and after stuff; that's by far my favorite. I guess Kid A would be best?

Well I know The Bends and O.K. Computer and enjoyed them about 10 years ago.

He also had Pablo Honey but I cannot remember if I've heard it or not. I've not heard anything post-O.K. Computer though.

Those two are good, but Kid A blows it out of the water and it's ALOT more RIO. Wink

Showed you Rush?

That means you looked at the covers and ran away... knowing they were evil and shouldn't be heard. Wink

Lately I've actually been buying less and less prog proportionately, but it's still my favorite genre and well over half the music I listen to falls under it. I used to like prog metal more and now I don't really, but besides that I just keep adding things to my repertoire, not removing them.

I have heard Hemispheres and A Farewell to Kings... not really my thing, to be fair. No denying their talent though. Big%20smile

My parents are both from around NJ, personally I can't wait to get out. Not that it's too bad, just so many other places to visit limiting myself to NJ would induce robotism. I'm still fairly close to home in school, about an hour and a half away, but I probably will only come home on breaks and such.

I'm buying less proper prog... I'm buying more avant-prog, jazz fusion and Zeuhl.

Symphonic is still great though (that's what I consider as proper prog).

Started with Supertramp, Pink Floyd, Mike Oldfield etc. at 4, continued with Genesis and KC at 10. Got into Gnidrolog, Henry Cow, Beefheart and Can at 12. The rest is history

I'm really liking National Health's debut. It would be better with bassoon, IMO as a bassoon player.

You were right the first time; I'm Alex. MisterProg2112 is Mike. Wink

I actually got into my love for music through Rush's 1980s albums (Signals through Hold Your Fire specifically) that my dad showed me. I loved "Red Sector A" and it was the first song that grabbed me. A few days later, I heard 2112. The rest is history. Big%20smile
