Topic: Hello to progarchives ! Posted: August 13 2005 at 06:14 |
Hello :) I am new on the site and just registered here. My name is Mark, 26 yrs old from Progressive Rocks is a new terrain for me, I haven’t listened to prog very much in the past. I started listening to Zappa about a year ago. One Size Fits It All was my first album.I noticed it in record store during a visit in LA and i thought “Let´s give it a try” , now I own about 20 of his albums. Before listening to Zappa I was very much into Bands like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles (their later output), The Who and Queen. (I still like the mentioned, of course) But then I often found links from Zappa-Websites to Prog-Sites so i came from that direction. I checked out some of the album reviews and stuff on the internet because i wanted to know which bands / albums would be well worth the buy for a start if you like :) I bought the following besindes other stuff: Yessongs Yes Tales from Topographic Oceans Genesis Trespass Genesis Nursery Cryme Genesis Foxtrot ELP Trilogy ELP Brain Salad Surgery KC Larks' Tongues in Aspic KC Red I already checked out “Brain Salad Surgery” and both of the mentioned King Crimson albums. I gave them all a headphone listen and all of the really blew me away. I was really like exploring something new. I will do album reviews on the main site a little bit later to share my thoughts about the albums. All in all I have say thanks to Zappa´s 60´s 70´s output and his diverse and complex arrangements which linked me to explore prog rock finally. Of course FZ is already something different haha. We all know. So I just started with these albums. I am sure these will not be the last Best Wishes from |
