Maani has set up a poll to monitor the age of visitors to this site. I'm just amazed - and pleasantly suprised - that far and away the largest number are in the 15 - 20 age group. I mean, by a mile. I just assumed that most would be older even if not quite in my 40 - 45 age group, it's just that when I think prog I think (to start with anyhow) of the 70's bands of my youth. One thing this site has done though is introduce me to more recent prog (Dream Theater, The Mars Volta, Tool, for instance). Any comments on the age range.....?

I am in that age group as well (18). I even like the older stuff
more than the newer stuff. So, I guess what they say about the
youth of today isnt entirely true . I just like good music, and that music happens to be mostly prog!
