20 I like symphonic and neo-prog. Although my favorite band is Rush and I like a lot of art rock music as much as symphonic.

Date Posted: December 06 2005 at 20:56
I'm 16 and I love Krautrock (Can, Faust, Amon Duul II, ...) and Folk Prog (Los Jaivas, Gryphon, Trees, ...), especially those from germany (Broselmaschine )
I know I'm not allowed to have more than two but I also really appreciate RIO !

I'm 15 (for about 2 more weeks) and my taste is pretty varied, I don't really stick to a genre.
My favorite prog bands are: Porcupine Tree (space), Pink Floyd (space), Rush (Art-Rock), The Mars Volta (Art-Rock), Opeth (Prog-Metal), Dream Theater (Prog-Metal), Yes (Symphonic), King Crimson (Symphonic), Blackfield (Symphonic, althought I think they are more space), Captain Beefheart (Avant), Jethro Tull (folk)
Prog Related: Queen, Primus, Muse
Those are just my favorites, which I listen to on a regular basis, others I like aswell are VDGG, Genesis, Ulver, Tool, Spock's Beard, Supertramp, LTE, Flower Kings

16, mostly RIO/Avant-garde (Mr. Bungle, Captain Beefheart), Symphonic prog (all the major bands, in a cycle almost), and whatever else. It doesn't really matter, I like Robert Wyatt and Pink Floyd and Gong too, but then I haven't heard much in their genre. I don't particularly like prog metal, but I like some Dream Theater. But I usually can't stand just pure metal...I like variations and fusions. Jazz-metal anyone? Psych-metal? RIO-metal? Surf-jazz-ska-classical-Indian-metal? I'm there.

I must admit, this has been quite the eye opener!!! Shocking to say the least, the amount of teens and those in their early twenties!! All this time, I honestly thought that PROG was the music of a passing generation. Fascinating, really. By the way, 46 and by far the preferred "strain"- Symphonic ( All the old dinosaurs- Genesis, Gentle Giant, Yes, King Crimson etc.)

36 - psychedelic and prog metal
One thing I have noticed in this thread is how young most people here are. When you are reading through the threads it is usually impossible to guess someone's age but in real life you know straightaway roughly how old someone is by looking at them. So the Internet is striking a blow there for age discrimination.

What were you expecting? I think that it's mainly young people that like metal. When I was younger, a lot of people I knew liked metal but slowly they move away from it as they get older. I am one of the few that have stuck with it. Maybe I just never grew up?!
