My name is
Branislav, I'm 19 and I'm from Serbia. This site was seiously a
dream come true when I found it a couple of months ago. It gets
difficult to keep listening to something you like when no one around
you appreciates it as much as you. I don't know how it is in other
places around the world, but I've been listening to prog for several
years now, and I simply can't find other people who listen to any kind
of prog here in Serbia. And I've tried... seriously... I've always
tried to listen to as many genres as I could because I believe that
music should connect people. I always try to understand the music and
what the people that listen to it like about it. And I seiously like
prog rock, but I simply didn't have the motivation to stick to it
untill I ran into PA. The only person I could talk to about prog (until
now) was my dad. Don't get me wrong - he is a great person, however, I
believe that it is important to share your opinion with as many people
as possible. Now I know that prog actually has quite an audience. So
thanks. I started listening to prog with Rick Wakeman's "Journey To The Center Of The Earth". I read the book, and liked it a lot, and then accidentaly found this record that my dad bought years ago... It was love at first sight :) Later I went on to listen to many other groups... Some of my favourites are ELP, King Crimson, Yes, Caravan, Hawkwind, Focus, Jethro Tull, PFM, Roger Waters and Indexi. Many others are on the list too, just can't remember them all just now :) ------------- I'm a little penguin, short and fat. This is my flipper, this is my hat. |

Rick Wakeman - Journey To The Center Of The Earth, Myths And Legends..., Six Wives Focus - Focus III, Moving Waves Caravan - In The Land..., If I Could... Roger Waters - Radio KAOS, Amused To Death Pink Floyd - Ummaguma, Meddle, The Wall, DSOTM Hawkwind - Warrior On The Edge Of Time, Hall Of The Mountain Grill Marillion - Misplaced Childhood PFM - Per Un Amico These are the first that spring to my mind, but there are definitely some artists I forgot to mention ------------- I'm a little penguin, short and fat.
