Happy birthday ClosetothSupperBrick! Against all (tiktok/insta) odds and the constantly very low participation share of women in prog rock, you succeeded in embracing a right style of music and since you are female you might enjoy Curved Air too.

Today is my 20th birthday! I was born in this century but I like prog and I am here to simply state that. (I'm also a woman who likes prog but whatevs :D ). I was introduced to prog rock by my dad but I took it further than him... he only really likes Pink Floyd, Rush, Porcupine Tree and Steve Hogarth Marillion. I learned to appreciate this kind of music, and thus I never remembered once being on the same page, music taste-wise, as my peers and it was a bit isolating. I learned to not give a sh*t (are we allowed to use profanity here? *edit: I guess not) about what anyone else thinks, but it is funny having someone ask what my music taste is... they don't expect the answer to be prog rock, that's for sure.

When I harnessed the power of the Internet, forums like this, rateyourmusic and others, as well as the obvious music-finding apps/websites Youtube, Spotify, Pandora to a lesser extent, I found more and more music that fit my tastes, which I didn't know at the time, was more proggy and obscure than my dad, who introduced me to it in the first place So, now I like Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Van Der Graaf Generator, JTull, Camel, Renaissance, PFM and Banco and recently came across the beauty of Anglagard's Hybris thanks to this site. I am pretty sure my dad has never listened to half of those bands. This will forever be MY genre, and I hope to find even more bands that can rank as highly as those that I listed.


Additional note: it took a while for almost every band to really click, likely cause I have ADHD and zoned out too much in the long epics lol. VDGG and GG were especially difficult to get into but now have many highly ranked songs on my all time fav songs list


Cheers buddy! Almost identical story here as well.
Prog on!

Come to think of it, I came to prog right around age 19-20 as well! That was only 12 years ago. Take away another 12 years, and I was only 7-8! Life is nuts; enjoy prog! Cool

Yeah I confirm, we exist, I'm 18 yo
So don’t evade the surgeon’s blade
Cos the answer could be in your mind
Maybe one cut and we’ll find
We’re just a wavelength behind

But we are entwined

And I know what you need
