Greetings all.

I'm Geck0 aka James and I'm a huge Van der Graaf Generator fan, which I think is a good thing, although all my friends say it's not.  I'm 24, so I'm a young'n really.

I also like the following:

King Crimson
Moody Blues
Gov't Mule
Allman Brothers Band
Derek Trucks Band
Fleetwood Mac (1967-1970)
Duster Bennett
Keef Hartley Band
Colosseum
Neil Young
Bob Dylan
Led Zeppelin
Deep Purple

Oh and Pink Floyd of course.

So a nice varied collection really.  I've only recently started on my prog journey really, besides VdGG who I have really got into.

I'll be at the VdGG gig on Friday too, so that should be a huge highlight for me.

I like some Yes too by the way, but haven't heard substantial amounts yet.

I hope that's a good start.


You like Pink Floyd? Tongue

Thanks everyone for the kind welcome. I'm gonna lurk a bit before I start posting, get a feel and not start posting like a noob.

Some of my favorite bands include Yes, Procupine Tree, Dream Theater, Between the Buried and Me, Gong, and Gentle Giant. I like a few other genres like hardcore punk, and jazz. I'm a fan of Mahavishnu and Miles Davis. I recently started getting into electronic and ambient music like M83 and Radio Massacre International.

I play a ton of video games, and I'm really good at history trivia.

Way to hijack a 3-year-old intro for your own purposes! ClapLOL
- And welcome! With your last two interests, maybe you can start a history trivia thread, or join in on this video game one.

I just recently saw DT and BTBAM at the same show, Opeth and 3 were also there Thumbs%20Up Pretty sweet taste in music...Listen to Caravan they're great, also since you're a Porcupine Tree fan (I love em too), try Anekdoton..another great heavy prog band.
