Progressive Biography

Age: 40 BIOGRAPHY: My story with progressive Rock:

After a few years of listening classic rock and mostly top 40 songs (shame on me), a friend introduced me to YES, which at a first listen found interesting but nothing special, didn't noticed the prog' virus had already infected me, and after listening a Peruvian band (FRAGIL) playing GENESIS covers, my musical conception changed for ever and my social life became harder because while all my friends listened "Saturday Night Fever" and "Grease" soundtracks, I was trying to explain them the of "Tarkus", "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" and "Dark Side of the Moon".

But there's nothing to regret. Prog' is my life. Personal collection: About 900 Cd's, 1,800 Lp's and a couple hundred cassettes

Favorite progressive rock bands: My weakness was always GENESIS up to "Wind & Wuthering", PINK FLOYD and lately ANGLAGARD but also love YES (without Rabin), TRIUMVIRAT, STEVE HACKETT, ELP,JETHRO TULL, KANSAS, PAVLOV'S DOG, FOCUS, MAGENTA, LE ORME, PFM, BANCO DEL MUTUO SOCCORSO, URIAH HEEP, GLASS HAMMER, HAPPY THE MAN, Rick WAKEMAN. My favorite albums are: GENESIS - "Nursery Cryme" & "Foxtrot"; "Dark Side of the Moon" and "WYWH" by PINK FLOYD YES - " Yes Album"; ELP - "Trilogy"; KANSAS - "Leftoverture"; MAGENTA - "Revolutions"; URIAH HEEP - "Look at Yourself"; JETHRO TULL - "Thick as a Brick"; KING CRIMSON - "In the Court of the Crimson King", etc.

COMMENTS: I only hope that some day people learn to listen music without caring for the ratings manipulated by the musical industry lackeys.
