Hi,after few months visiting this website, I decided to create my own account to share my passion to progressive rock, rate albums and get to know more and more awesome artists with your help. ;) I'm 16 now and I've been interested in prog for about two years (we can even say that my story with prog began exactly  on 1st January 2012 :D) and I hope it'll go on for a long time. I started listenning prog with Pink Floyd and although I listen to them rarely now, it is still my favourite band. I tried to get to know most popular artists like King Crimson, Genesis, Yes, Emerson, Lake & Palmer but I also fell in love with experimental music. I began with krautrock, then zeuhl and RiO but the second one in the least familliar field for me from this trio. I try to listen to various subgenres of prog and there are some mentioned with my favourite artists:

Eclectic Prog: King Crimson, VDGG, Steve Hackett, Peter Hammil
Symphonic Prog:  ELP, Yes, Genesis, Anglagard, The Flower Kings, Camel, Anthony Phillips
Psychedelic: Pink Floyd, Hawkwind, Ozric Tentacles, Eloy (but the only album I know is Ocean)
Krautrock: Ash Ra Tempel, Popol Vuh, Amon Duul II, Kraftwerk (first two albums), Yatha Sidra, Agitation Free
Zeuhl: Magma, Shub Niggurath
Rock in Opposition: Univers Zero, Present, Art Zoyd, Samla Mammas Manna, Henry Cow, Etron Fou Leloublan, Uz Jsme Doma, Frank Zappa (few albums)
Electronic: Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze
Prog Folk: Jethro Tull
Neo-Prog: Marillion
Crossover Prog: Mike Oldfield, Steven Wilson, The Moody Blues
Canterbury Scene: Soft Machine

I know it isn't a lot. Probably there are lots of bands that should be written above and I don't know them so if you could give me some recommendations, it would be cool.
