Hello everyone, I was beggining to think I was the last person left in the world that still loved prog-rock  Thankfully I discovered Prog Archives and found out that I was not alone  I first got into Genesis around 1976, I had an older brother who was dating a girl at the time who loved Genesis. She loaned my brother all of her Genesis records and for whatever reason they broke up. After my brother moved out of my parent's house I aquired all of his vinyl collection including the Genesis records that his girlfriend had left behind. WOW! I scored Lamb, Trick, SEBTP, and Live. I had never heard anything like it before and fell instantly in love with Genesis. Shortly after that I was turned onto Yes, ELP, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd. Traffic and King Crimson. And then in 1980 I heard "Spirit of radio" for the first time and was hooked. I ate, slept, breathed, lived and dreamed RUSH all through my teenage years. In high school my freinds and I started a band and we wanted to be RUSH in every way, we even named our band Vital Signs We were actually quite good and very ambitious. We wrote some originals that were very Rush influenced and we did a cover of Grand Designs. The drummer of that band who was 16 at the time turned me onto Marillion. That's what I love about Prog, there is always something new to discover.Well I hope I didn't bore anybody with my introduction, This has just been pent up inside me for so long now, I felt like I was writing a novel  Endless thanks for letting me become a part of this community. |

Hello Bastille Dude ... glad you've found us ... do stick around ... ------------- "Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century. "Surrender, you pathetic dreamer.” "No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present." |
