I liked Pink Floyd and Rush since I was 14 (two years ago), but I didn't actually find out about the genre of progressive rock until I was 15. I seriously started getting into Prog like around the time I turned 16 (August of '05) Yeah, I'm still pretty knew to the genre.  -------------

About 5 years old I heard a lot of Queen, but the first bands that get me into prog was Dream Theater and Yes (mainly Yes, with Close to the Edge) wen I was 17. -------------

thick as a brick, and I was 13. The idea of a 40 minute long long song enthralled me, so I checked it out. -------------
