Well hello...

Hi there,

Just wanted to step by and say hello My name is Jonas, I'm 23, and I listen to prog since about three or four years now (classical music and metal being my background). I've started out with Neal Morse and Porcupine Tree and have since been eager to explore the genre especially in it's earlier years. I would say that by now I feel most comfortable anywhere between old Yes, Marillion, Kevin Gilbert, Spock's Beard, Procol Harum and PT, to name a few cornerstones ;) Any suggestions are appreciated!

Anyway, to why I joined this board: Since I started listening to prog the archives have been of great help for me when it comes to discovering new bands and choosing which albums to start with. I also think that, apart from my clumsy English, I could write some acceptable reviews, though I don't know if that's really necessary because most of the bands that I listen to and know well enough seem to be rather mainstream (well, as mainstream as it gets in this little community).
There might be one exception to that though, and probably the main reason why I joined now was that I want to introduce the Austrian band phi to the community (Thread about them to be started soon). I met those guys at the conservatory where I study classical guitar and have never heard a newcomer band like them before.  
Last but not least, I'm excited to meet new people and always in for a discussion; I have been active in diverse online forums for the last ten years and it's about time that I joined one where people listen to the same music as I do :)

And that seems to be much more already than you probably care to know about a complete stranger ;) I hope we'll get along well!

All the best,
Jonas
