B, as I'm 28 years old. And I joined PA when I was only 13 (albeit under a different account, hence this account's later join date)... I'm glad that I was exposed to prog so early in life

E. I'm 52 (I'll be 53 in a few months) and one of those odd ducks who discovered prog in the 80s (as a teen). Anyone else out there like me?
Also, not much of a musician but I own two instruments (an electric guitar and a full size casio keyboard -both were gifts).

25 years old, got into Prog around 15-16, and my tastes expanded greatly since then. Musician since age 5 (maybe slightly earlier), hoping to be professional at some point.

I got into Art Rock in summer 74, at just barely 11 I would only find out in the mid-90's that art rock had another name like Progressive Rock or prog

I am a few years older and I got interested in rock music in general in late 70s. Listened mostly to album rock radio so heard and liked bands who I would later learn to be prog. Didn't become aware of "progressive rock" until early 80's. Prog through the rock radio indicative of 80s - Rush, Saga, Blue Oyster Cult, Pink Floyd, Marillion. |

70 - Amateur musician and followed psychedelia into prog at its birth. Also fortunate enough to have had Genesis as our local band, playing the tiny Gin Mill Club upstairs in The Angel Hotel in Godalming along with the likes of Peter Green, Free, Skid Row, Chicken Shack and Duster Bennett to name but a few.

I qualify, I'm 58 & discovered prog at the beginning of the 80's when I was introduced to Genesis, Yes & Floyd. Before that it was all metal all the time. Not a musician though I do have a guitar and a keyboard.

Yep: also 52 going on 53 and not much of a musician 😂 Despite owning quite a bit of prog in my rock collection I truly don’t think I properly embraced prog until I got the Genesis Platinum Collection in about 2002….. |

I am 54. And my four French best friends -who also listen to post/alternative/progressive rock/metal- are older than me: 60, 62, 63, 71. So when we meet each other, we often listen to more recent music than music from the past. That is paradoxal, but I like that !

I'm 56 and I have been into prog since as far back as I can remember, one of my favourite albums when I was 5 years old was Tarkus, I grew up surrounded by prog music at home.
I'm sort of an amateur musician, I can play to some extent guitar, bass, keyboards and drums, my main instrument being guitar. I own 4 guitars, a bass and 3 keyboards. I'd love to have a drum kit but I don't have space enough in my little appartment.

G......looks like so far I'm the oldest (71) . Do I get a prize or anything?
Retired Optometrist, I can play a little guitar but not a musician. Started buying music around 1963...'45's..top 40 radio stuff, then lps by The Beatles, Stones, etc . (I think Steve G who has not been around for a while is my age or older.)

I'm ancient fossil between 60 and 70. I'm a musician that traveled the road for decades until I grew tired of compromising with the commercial side to the business.
I remain a recluse in the recording studio..writing, recording, and releasing instrumental music. When I was young and naive I used to open for the Doc Severison Band (house band for the Johnny Carson Show) and several sell out entertainers including the ones I worked for. On the circuit were Renaissance, Steve Hackett, Dixie Dregs, Ian Hunter and others. This lasted from 1981 to 1983 when Progressive Rock bands were playing packed theaters while the industry had a plan in motion to disregard it. Yes I witnessed Progressive Rock fall by the wayside in the most evil way. It was exciting to play that circuit, but the reality of it all sucked. In the 70s I worked in Progressive Rock cover bands and a few original bands just after the Glam Rock period..such as Witch, Spartacus, and one in particular ( that shall remain nameless) who landed a record deal with Warner Brothers..but lost that contract because of a lawsuit between managers. During this period in time Happy The Man and Nektar were performing a lot in the tri state area. Eventually I had to close the door on that business because it was holding me back from being a musician..a writer..an artist..whatever? Interestingly though...I wasn't attracted to Progressive Rock because of being a musician. I did eventually learn from Progressive Rock..but when I listened to it didn't constantly analyze it. Too much thinking has a tendency to ruin your enjoyment of the album in its entirety. Edited by Jacob Schoolcraft - January 23 2023 at 12:34 |
