I figured I would go ahead and introduce myself to the people that actually read all these posts. I've been listening to prog for about 3 years now in a community that hardly knows that the genre exists (which has left me only able to relate to people much older than me, music-wise). I've been playing drums a little more than a year and i draw my influence from Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, Danny Carey, and Joey Jordison.

I was really happy to see how much this genre has expanded over recent years with all the different sub-genres on this site. I've been discovering alot of awesome new bands as well via progarchives. I'm open to practically any type of music, and focus my listening around some of the first prog bands I've listened to (Dream theater, Tool (If you tell me they aren't prog, i can only respect your opinion, but completely disregard it at the same time) Liquid Tension Experiment, Mastodon, Symphony X, Opeth, Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree,  Rush, Yes, and King Crimson.
 
I joined this forum to meet some cool people and discover some new prog bands. So anyone have suggestions that I didn't list?

Welcome to the forumSmile Nice to see someone with a bit of heavier music taste around here too. But of course, expect your musical taste to expand considerably here like mine has since I joined the forum.

haha, I think I'll keep the name but i don't expect many people to type out all 19 digits of it. Its good to hear my musical taste and knowledge of more progressive bands expands in these forums, that's what I was hoping would happen. I'll check out those bands you listed Atavachron.

Howdy from Texas and welcome to the club.  If you like Portnoy don't miss his performances on Neal Morse's solo CDs.  His work on Sola Scriptura and One really show his versatility in particular and the albums really rock.  The Flower Kings would also interest you, I think.

hahhah. .awesome.. you'll fit in here just great. I wouldn't worry about Tool...  it's another of your favorites that is under siege here by Pancho Villa and the Prog Purists.  If you see me flapping my gums about them... just disregard it... everyone else does.  The smart ones at least LOL

Welcome to the forum. A clappie for you for your wisdom

Welcome robot! O no you're a automatic machine watch out a Virus of anti - prog! (don't be offended) Don't really agree with your taste but still your welcome lol... Here you'll find new bands, albums and girls! erm no... And if some time you get bored or with doubts of any band you like just make some good polls and have fun. Or go to Just for Fun thread...

Enjoy PA!
