How to indoctrinate your kids!

Yes but I imagine you are a damn sight bigger than Emdiar,Danbo!

If in doubt... bottle out!

Hey emdiar, You may be taller, but I have superior firepower.... hehehehehe

All fathers should have a license to smote, or at least serious deterrents.

My youngest daughter showed great promise at an early age by putting ELP's "Tarkus" on the CD player completely of her own volition one day when she was 7 or 8, and I heard her humming BLACK SABBATH's 'Spiral Architect' around the same time, too. But it did not last - she now refers to Prog Rock as "vulgar"!

What does she listen to Fitzcaraldo? In comparison to other forms of music i dont see prog as vulgar. conjures images of old men with long beards and pipes. one day...one day

It makes you feel unique.

Not mine...it has to be on one of those top 40 radio stations 1st. Her only hope is if she finds a boyfriend who likes good music(the last one she had liked Metallica and System of a Down alot and she opened her horizons a bit and gave them a listen and surprisingly liked them-I even tried Dream Theatre knowing she liked the above mentioned bands and nope...hardly gave them a chance. She's 16 by the way

Hey! When'd you start playing bass, progbassist? 15? How good are you? Ever tried playing "thick as a brick" all the way thru?

My daughter has been listening to prog for half her life as I have previously stated. But there's a downside. I can't get to a concert without the little witch tagging along.This month it's Wishbone Ash then the Carl Palmer band then Mostly Autumn, then whoever is good that's coming to Glasgow.But her taste is slipping. She went slipknot and slayer recently and your truly was in the pub with his mates as they are not my taste, but that's only a short reprise for me but what the hell on the whole her taste goes from Crimson to Todd to Yes an on and on she's a prog child and shows no signs of losing it.

Hi, been checking out the actual site for a while now, and finally decided to post on the forums.

I'm 14, and my on-line friend got me into Dream Theater at first which sparked my love for prog music. I was telling my Dad about the music and he really got into it too. It's really cool, I pretty much tell him about new bands I've found, and ask him to check them out to see if he likes them. He buys a lot of used CD's of the bands I like and I just get to mooch off his set.

He really influnced my tastes though. He got me into, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Queen, STP, and others.
