I'm just curious how many prog fans first discovered prog online versus before you first went online. For me it's before I got online.

Discovered it online I suppose, the term and main artists. First heard Floyd's 'Money' on the radio. First exposure to Prog! An epic moment! (Also got Pizza in the same trip

At least 95% of the prog I listen to today I've discovered through ProgArchives.

"Online" was probably 20 years in the future at the time I discovered prog...

I guess these forums are dominated by old farts like me, so before the Internet times. I only discovered prog in the early/mid 80s when it was still called symphonic rock in my country. A subscription to a symphonic rock magazine (called Sym Info at that time) made me discover many other and to me new bands that were not played on the radio. The local library helped a lot too to make me discover lots of more other prog bands...

I discovered it before the Earth formed. I'm older than an ironing board.

I am immortal and hundreds of years ago when i was hanging out with Nostradamus, he prognosticated prog to coalesce in the 20th century. We peeked through his crystal ball and watched a Yes concert from 1971. I was hooked and spent the next few centuries in agony because the gods forbid me to access the future in order to incorporate ideas into the current timeline on which i resided. As soon as the actual 60s hit i was dognapped and taken to an iceworld where i lay dormant for decades and didn't emerge from my cryogenic cocoon until the 21st century so most prog i discovered has been online although i was teased with glimpses of a distant future in a previous indognation.

We didn't have online in the late 60s, but my big brother had a cool record collection for me to explore when he wasn't around. There was also "underground" FM radio.

I'm honestly surprised there aren't more who said "yes" on here so far. Maybe they are still in school.

I discovered progressive music back in the late 60s. I really got into it in the early 70s, and never looked back, even though I still like some other genres of music, like classical, folk, Blues, and some world/ethnic music.

Hey, I'm sure no one on here actually looks like that since this is a prog site and not an aging porn stars website. ![]() Edited by AFlowerKingCrimson - November 29 2023 at 15:19 |

Didn't know it was called prog until the 90's.
What's online?
