Excuse Me. I´m in love with Prog Music.

   I came to a point in my life years ago where I believe there is no shame in liking any sort of music. Nor any pride to be had for listening to any genre. 

The only surprise I have is when I become enraptured by a song or album or band that I've known about for some time.

Be it Gentle Giant ... for years I had two albums. Then I eventually got the rest. Then I quickly became immersed in all their music. And I am still coming across songs & bit that I never quite caught.

Johnny Cash's American Recordings' series was a thrill. Going through the Clash's London Calling & Sandinista was an eye opener. I'm surprised myself when I got hooked on Napalm Death's "The Code is Red". I haven't really dug anything else in that genre yet. But it's opened my ears.
I still listen to Public Enemy, the Beastie Boys, Dream Warriors, and the Roots. I don't find much in today's Hip Hop scene to interest me. But then I come across stuff like Canada's K-os, and I think that maybe there's is some hip hop out there that might like.

SO I keep my mind & my ears open. So far, exploring the prog scenes and genres has brought many a musical treasure into my collection. But now, I know enough to know that I never know where I'll find good music. The classic rock eras, old time country & blues, local punk bands, some jazz, some classical ...
it's a never ending trip through a sh*tload of sonic magic. 

I am a music fan. And I love prog. and beer. and hockey. and loud geetars.
