I've loved this music since 1969 when it was briefly called 'progressive underground'.

I'm from SW England, and have MS so I'm a bit housebound, so forums like this are a godsend. I'm old enough to have seen many of the bands y'all like - the record is Genesis, I saw them 6 times.

The slightly weird thing is, back when we were buying albums in the early 70s, there was no such genre as "prog rock" even though the music was then at its height. I remember going out and buying 4 albums : The Stones, King Crimson, Humble Pie, and Yes, but to us they were all just rock music.

Anyway, I'm rambling. It must be my age! So I'll just say "hi".

Be very welcome old-timer (I am too, no offence intended) and enjoy your stay, the general mood is great (though a lot less enthusiastic lately)

Welcome! If you like progressive rock you've come to the right place. I think you'll like it here.

Welcome! 1966-1976 music is also my greatest love, although listening music from classical to this day!
