1980's.... I was too young in the 70s - but in 1985 I started listening to Van Halen and Iron Maiden and got dragged into Rush and Marillion right after that.

In the early Seventies, when prog took root in Italy. I still remember listening to PFM's "Impressioni di Settembre" and Le Orme's "Gioco di bimba" on the national radio, when I was all of 11 years old. English prog came a few years later, when I had already started attending upper secondary school.

80's with Rush, Yes, and a bit of Pink Floyd and Kansas, but I didn't know they were "Prog" back then.

That would have been 1977, first year of college. I bowed to DSOTM as my gateway drug.

I started my "progressive" journey no more than 2 years ago. I've managed to add precisely 28 bands and artists into my "progressive" repertoire since, and still counting!

Haha yeah, I listened to Pink Floyd quite a lot without knowing what they were. They didn't fit into any other brand of rock I knew, so I looked them up and realized they were "progressive rock". Then followed Rush, Dream Theater, Genesis and so on.

Well, I started listening to real prog bands (not prog-related) when I was 15, in 2012, so I'm a total newbie here :D BTW, I've already listened to Queen a lot since 2009.

Probably around 2008, when I became a huge Rush fan. Styx, Yes, and Pink Floyd soon followed.
