How did everybody find this website in the first place? I'm sure this has been asked before at some point; did a quick search and didn't find anything. For me, in January 2006 I typed "can magma henry cow" into a search engine and one of the links was for the album page for Cow's In Praise Of Learning. I was tired of reading about Yes, Genesis and Dream Theater and wanted info on less well known prog acts. This website was a great resource of information to me; I discovered a lot of great music here. Don't know if this is the right section for this. Feel free to move it if not. So, what about everybody else? How did you learn of the existence of ProgArchives?

I was trying to look up something musical (I don't remember what it was) and it came up in Google. Go to Google and type in Brian S. Lindsey and see what comes up.

Also The Mighty Google - thanks to a few folk posting some nice things about Citizen Cain, a (very obscure) band I was part of back in 1993/4. I was trying to find out what had become of the other guys in the last 15 years or so, and up popped ProgArchives... Cheers! Andy p.s.

Well, in 2006 I remember that I was searching for some info related to Savatage. In the first place I didn't realize what kind of site it is. But very fast it became one of my top 5 from the entire Internet(beside wikipedia and a few others). Thanks to PA I've learned a lot about progressive rock and I'm grateful for this. The last almost 5 years were a beautiful journey in to this unknown realm. Hopefully this will continue in the years to come. |

As for myself... I must have found this site back in 2005 or so, where I made an account under a different name, but only ever wrote one review for myself (it's for Crimson Glory's 'Transcendence,' if you're interested in seeing what my writing looked like when I was 11 or 12!) but I let it alone for a few years and came back to it in 2009 because I was starved to find some new music, and share my opinions with people.

| There are many links available for Prog Archives and so I stumbled upon the site in that way. I noticed a high volume of musicians belonging to the site and thought I would run across the musicians I worked with during the "Mad Times". So far I haven't had the best of luck as they would surely know me from my posts. However, the members on the site are truly informative on a diverse amount of music and that will do just as well. I consider myself lucky if anyone communicates with me because I am a jabberbox. |

It was in the fall of 2004. In these days I have just become fond of Traffic (after more than 30 years of listening to prog). A Google search directed me ProgArchives.com and I found a lot more to my liking, which re-kindled my smouldering love for prog. I visited this site regularly, but I remained true to my principles concerning internet anonimity for some 43 months before I finally signed up. -------------

In the pursuit of new music I think I was looking up older bands that I liked such as YES and PINK FLOYD and a link brought me here. I remember thinking to myself I had hit the jackpot when I discovered the archives. All of my favourite bands were here and so many bands I had heard cited as influences were here as well. I just began a daily quest to check out new and old bands and I haven't looked back since. A BRILLIANT RESOURCE FOR ALL THINGS PROG. |

I was a member of yesfans, a forum for fans of yes ... and having exhausted most of Yes' discography, was looking for recommendations. I found a topic of a guy who recommended a band called Pulsar, linking to their PA page because of the streaming track there. I clicked through and not long after was addicted to this site and had left yesfans behind. As a side note, since I joined this site I have been continuously behind on my wishlist. I haven't yet found the time to purchase Yes' Magnification yet, for example, nor that Pulsar album that brought me here in the first place...or a few hundred others. XD |

Hi,
I was on the Internet looking up information on old friend Guy Guden and his Space Pirate Radio show and it linked to the thread on this board ... and I have been here since.
For all it's worth, Guy's show for more than 25 years, still is the most progressive of all shows and the only one that "KNEW" what progressive meant and lived it ... not just talked about it ... or use a word frivolously ...
And there were many folks that we write about here that were a part of his show and added to it with many ID's and other bits ...
Too much of the stuff on the internet and other shows out there, are just copies of every single commercial site out there and most of them have no talent, ability, or desire ... to show the music and art ... with its music and its art. ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

It's weird - rehearsing/recording the album filled almost a year of my life, but it was 17 years ago now, and I'm always amazed that anyone's ever heard of it at all... Be honest now though, it was Nick (the drummer) & my painstaking recreation of the sound of a wall being knocked down that really clinched it for you, wasn't it? ;-) For anyone interested, Stewart & Cyrus are meant to be releasing a new Citizen Cain album...ummm...soon.

Completely by accident. I was searching for Beefheart samples and came across this site, leading to my obsession with "When I See Mommy I Feel Like A Mummy"! Then, I began looking at the rest of the site and discovered that all of the bands I liked the most were on here, under this "Prog" label, which I had not been familiar with before. This led to me discovering other bands that I liked that where a bit more obscure and that brings us to today! I was already familiar with Tull, Zappa, Harum, Rush, Floyd, King Crimson, Genesis, ELP, and Yes when I found this site ... so, it has expanded my horizon's quite a bit! ------------- Continue the prog discussion here: http://zombyprog.proboards.com/index.cgi ... |

Must've been around summer 2004, I think, I had just discovered Yes' Close to the Edge. I don't remember the exact details, I must have googled the album. Ah, I have such vivid memories of that summer, if only I could live through it again, and discover all those classics...  -------------

(In my best Tommy Chong voice) Seriously man! I just opened my eyes and there it was! I believe it was my, then girlfriend, now wife who found it and told me about it in May 2004. Signed up been here ever since. From reading older posts look like that was just a few months after launch. -------------

| My brother fell in love with jazz-fusion and one day he was browsing the internet and Progarchives appeared. From there his musical taste expanded and now my brother and I are major prog fans. But he never got an account so I felt the need that I had to. |

| I was skulking around in proto-prog land looking up something about Jefferson Airplane and wondering what ever happened to "the good'ol days". Now I'm skulking around here. |

I was a Prog 'early adopter'(1970ish) and have built up a large canon of albums. I began reviewing these older albums on another forum to get people interested in prog. A question was asked, and my research (via a well known search engine) led me here.
There is so much information here and I have found a lot more to pique my interest. My collection has substantially increased since joining. ------------- And for a moment when our world had filled the skies, Magic turned our eyes, To feast on the treasure set for our strange device |

I research on the Internet. I was asking myself: Is there an incredible website wich would make me discover progressive rock and in wich there would be my favorite prog artists? And then I found PA of wich I was truly satisfied. ------------- La victoire est éphémère mais la gloire est éternelle! - Napoléon Bonaparte |

Probably Google or another search engine. Before that I was a regular visitor of the Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock site. After that less and less. Don't get me wrong, GEPR was nice, and still is, but PA was a more developed site with more contributors and was renewing itself more and more, and the forums were, and are, very good. |

| GEPR was my biggest resource before PA. That and the related Ground & Sky which hasn't been updated since early 2009. |
