Not your typical Progressive Rock Fan

Hey I'm Jade and I'm 14 and in the 9th grade and live in Virginia. Most people think I would be listening to sh*t(I hope I can say that) like Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, or Demi Lovato but I can't stand that stuff. I grew up with the coolest Mom in the world who loves Rock from the 60's, 70, and 80's and she was born in 1970. So she introduced me to some of this. The stuff I like the most is Jethro Tull, Yes, Rush, The Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, and Kansas. I guess one big reason I am here is to learn from those who really know the ins and out of this music scene and learn about other awesome bands. I hope that is O.K. and being so young won't be a drag to everyone. I really can be cool, I promise. :) Other things I like are hanging with my friends, watching Capitals Hockey, Shopping, and just being a kid.

Thanx bunches.

Welcome, young lady, and enjoy yourself around ... plenty of music to discover (good taste, btw)

Thanx bunches. 

Pink Floyd answer is tough because I like stuff from the both of them and they both contributed so much to the group throughout. I also feel Syd Barrett in the early days was key and there stuff back then was so unique and far out. Dark Side Of The Moon and The Wall though were masterpieces for sure.

One of the few things (along with her Rush fetish) that we disagree strongly on musically. I absolutely love the first 4 albums.. the rest do very little for me.

I just feel like The Songs from the Wood album has that Renassaince Festival feel to it and I love going to that festival so that is why I love that album so much. 

I do sense a bit of teen angst towards pop music but that's ok, we've all been there.

oh I love me some Pentagle... let me know what you think of that. we do have a small ..but very passionate Renaissance fanclub here.. I'm sure they would love a new member!

I just listened and OMG. The music actually made me feel like I was at the Fair. It was brilliant with many instrumental sounds throughout. In the beginning of the song the piano playing was out of this world and I wish I could play like that. Then the Female Beautiful Vocals came in. Her voice was just perfect for that sound. The song was brilliant and I loved it. Thanx so much for sharing it. Do they have other stuff I could check out on Youtube? Where are they from?

lmao. My initual reaction exactly. I thought you might really dig that...  it blows me away every time I listen to it.

I have my favorites.. but I don't like stealing others thunder... here...  talk to Madan and Ken. Absolute sweethearts and co-Presidents of the Renaissance fanclub. they'll stear you right.
