Just a quick introduction, I can't say I always listened to prog music
or really knew what it was, and still am figuring it out 
but as far as I know prog to me is anything that is less mainstream and
more progressive in it's use of musical instruments and having long
passages or just kind of ... well ... proggy! I guess my first real
introduction to prog would have been Spock's Beard, although they
themselves are greatly influenced by prog pioneers (I don't think I
need to mention any names *cough GENESIS cough*)...Now I've simply gone
prog crazy and find it hard to listen to a standard radio friendly song
using a formulaic repetitive chorus. I love the intertwining threads of
prog and how the music seems to evolve...tasty! Always twitching for
new sounds, ideas, themes these ears of mine!So, I'm glad to have discovered Prog Archives, needless to say I'd actually been viewing it for awhile before I actually joined the forum, and I originally intended only to be able to add discographical entries, but thought hey, while I'm here, why not participate? Always interesting to hear what fellow proggers have to say, especially since I know practically none in real life... So a big hello and look forward to posting some more!  by the way, tardis stands for time and relative dimensions in space *nod to all Doctor Who fans out there* |

Hi Tardis, welcome to the site! Can we use you to go back and see some of the classic gigs of the early 70's? |
