| Surprisingly enough it was back in early 2004, I did a google search for Progressive Death Metal and this was the site a can up with. But it took me long time to work up the courage to post in the forum. |

On summer 2004 i was searching for some yugoslavian prog bands on google and i was introduced to this site,first i read reviews and i looked for bands from other countries than England ,i realised how much countries produced excellent prog music and how this music could be so limitless,and this site helped me to discover some amazing music,in that time progarchives became my biggest source for prog rock purchases and remains it today,progarchives is my absolute favorite site,because 70% music i listen to i found it here. ------------- Ars longa , vita brevis |

At school in early 2005, I was looking for somewhere to get Yes mp3s (I'd heard Roundabout on the radio and grabbed that, but I wanted more) since my school had blocked the use of DC++. I came here and found myself an mp3 of Close To The Edge (back when you could download the mp3s from here) which I didn't care for at first. However, I stayed around when I noticed all of the love for Genesis (whose discography I already had at the time). Time passed and now it's my favourite site. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/omgwtfdagrush/">

I was looking for info on a Karmakanic album and google "progressive rock".Never even looked in the forum for about a year,just used the archives as a resource. I was laid up for a bit after getting severe chemical burns(hydroflouric acid)at work and was bored and my daughter said it might be fun for me to join this forum.This was my first forum experience,and the only one I go to. -------------  |

About one year ago I found the link on another prog website (it may have been Sea of Tranquility, but I'm not sure). As soon as I saw the forum, I had to register at once, so great it looked to me! And now, here I am... the bane of all DT fans!

I had been listening to Swallow the Sun quite a bit... my son had turned me on to them. I decided to go to their website to see what they are all about. By the way, the website is really good. They link to numerous bands, and most, if not all of those bands have their band members list their influences. This one band in particular, Red Number Two, all loved, and listed Oceansize as one of their major influences. I fell in love with Oceansize the moment I heard the first song I listened to... Catalyst hooked me right away. One day I was reading that Oceansize was going to support this band called Porcupine Tree. I had never heard them so I googled Porcupine Tree..... and here I am, and am going broke buying PT. ------------- ::Just Sittin here chillin:: Robby |

I had been banned from dozens of other forums from computer geeks to stamp collecting anoraks and wanted to upset some sporty types.I thought how about those poseurs who hang off the sides of mountains?
I was googling "prof rock climbing" and hit a "g" instead of the "f" and found myself here. The rest is history and this is a true story. |

Early this year i was surfing away hoping to find information on Prog bands and history, PA kept coming up again and again, and i found myself spending far too much time on this site (a good sign) so i was won over. The best thing is that PA is designed well. it is so user friendly, and you can have an intelligent (or silly) conversation without every other word being an 'F' word, some rock sites are full of these, it puts you off. Also PA members are such a friendly bunch!!! The internet is such a great leveller - age, class, religion, sex, no barriers - why, you may even find yourself exchanging posts with a real rock star!!!
I think PA is the best Prog rock information source you will find, and it's getting bigger and broader all the time - big thanx to all hard working admin, especially Ronald and Maxime for founding PA!

One of my friends, who really got me into prog in the first place, is addictted to this place. At first I thought, with all the free music like Pandora.com and Singingfish out there, why do I need a site like this? Then, when my own collection of prog expanded, I realized the value of this guide to help me weed out the crap before I bought it (thanks to "Hold Your Fire" by Rush...). I spent more time here, and finally decided to join the forums. ------------- Many Bothans died to bring you this information. |

I was trying out a piece of software called http://www.grokker.com/ - Grokker - as that's what I do for a living (ie, I test software); I wanted the Pro version, but pressed return too early.
OK, I didn't press return too early - just my little joke - but I have been researching Prog for a little while now, and so that was the first search term I used. I particularly wanted to zoom in quickly on sites that had free mp3s - and, of course, this site came top. The link just takes you to the company who make it - and a terrible, basic version of what I tested - which was a fantastic graphical affair that provided a load of "bubbles" that you could drill down into and get specific data very quickly. The version at the link is text-based and dreadful - don't use it ------------- The important thing is not to stop questioning. |

I was writting reviews in Rateyourmusic.com and received a PM from a guy called Prog Lucky inviting me to be a reviewer in PA, of course I joined inmediately but the next day Ronald sent me mail telling me that PA had also a Forum and that was perfect.
I've been member of several forums, but never for such a long term as in this one and plan to be here for a long time.
This past weeks in he Mountains without reliable Internet were a nightmare, no Prog Archives is almost as no food.
