My name is Alan. Nice to be here. :o)

I come from Wales, in the United Kingdom, and I am a very big fan of King Crimson, Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull. I don't really know much about other prog rock bands, but am willing to explore. :o) 

I also like metal (Finntroll and Iron Maiden I adore) and am also an inexhaustible lover of industrial, with Laibach, Rammstein, Nine Inch Nails and Einstürzende Neubauten being my personal favourites.

Music tastes aside, I'm a student by occupation and an anorak for church bells.

Enough about me, what about you? :oD

	Welome Alan! There is definitely plenty of music around for you to discover, especially some very exciting new stuff. Keep your eyes peeled for what is getting a buzz around the forums. Plenty of us are at your disposal for recommendations as well. Most importantly, have a great time!

	Hi Alan, welcome. I am relatively new here myself I guess. Like you, I am a huge fan of Pink Floyd (all eras) and King Crimson (mainly the pre-'Discipline' albums). I've never listened to much Jethro Tull but I should check them out considering that many people have told me good things about them. I am also a huge Einsturzende Neubauten fan, I love them so much. They truly changed the way I thought about music, more than any other band. Some of Laibach's music is great too, I love their earliest works from 1980 to 1984. With Nine Inch Nails it's the opposite, I like the latter albums more than the earlier ones. My favorite NIN albums are 'With Teeth', 'Ghosts' and "Hesitation Marks'. I also absolutely loved the How To Destroy Angels album 'Welcome Oblivion'. Hope you have a good time on ProgArchives!

	In this case I suspect this vid is an appropriate, non-prog welcome.

	Thanks, everyone. And a very interesting video, Windhawk! @KingOnly: Thank you. I'm not sure if you did, but a great way to start with Jethro Tull is their album A Passion Play. And it's nice that we share some similarities in music, as well, since I like Nine Inch Nails' newer stuff as well. Speaking of How to Destroy Angels, I used to listen to them a lot at one point. Welcome Oblivion is a good album there, yes.
