Hi everyone!

I'm Gabriel from Argentina, I'm 17 years old and I've been getting into Prog music for about a year. I joined this forum because I'd like to learn about more bands that I may like.

I' ve been mostly listening to the prog giants, like Yes, Genesis, ELP, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, etc. and some Argentinian prog (which I have only recently discovered it existed!) like La Máquina de Hacer Pájaros and Crucis .

What I like the most is Yes, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd and Gentle Giant. I particularly enjoy vocal harmonies (either simple or complex), the lovely medieval style of GG, the guitar style of Howe and Gilmour, and the flute-soloing of Ian Anderson.

Well, I'm not sure if i'm supposed to say something else, so that's it for now.

Welcome, we seem to share the same tastes!

some other 70's prog bands I'd recommend based on your tastes:

Van Der Graaf Generator (UK)
Very Dark, with great vocals and sax/organ

Focus (Dutch)
great guitar/flute/yodelling! very classical and jazzy

Renaissance (UK)
closest prog comes to pure 'symphonic' but also folksy

Caravan (UK)
jazzy but very accesibly and great Live albums

PFM (Italian) & Banco (Italian)
very similar Italian Symphonic bands, great place to enter Italian scene

P.S.: Gentle Giant is great! So is Tull, ELP, Yes, etc., but i can barely get into King Crimson after 1971.
