Your response is greatly helping me to trim down the long list of 'downloadable' samples of the bands. Obviously the forum puts up huge reviews and I sometimes feel quite lost at trying to find out "what band to try next". I hope this discussion is also helping others to find new recommendations.

There's a lot of bands here I knew of but never really gave a thought about checking out until I came here (Genesis, Jethro Tull, Gentle Giant, ELP, and many other well known bands). At the time I only listened to some Yes, King Crimson, and Pink Floyd and some modern proggy bands like Tool and Radiohead.

Of course I also discovered many, many other bands in the process; everything from Neo-Prog to RIO, so I'm happy for coming here.

Anekdoten, Echolyn and Glass Hammer. Had heard about them but never heard them. Oh, and Maxophone. This is a great site. The MP3s are a good selling tool as I end up buying albums of the people I like.

Pain of Salvation and ACT, great stuff. I couldn't believe my luck the first time I discovered this site with the free sound clips! What a fantastic opportunity to discover new and old prog treasures.

I just downloaded the Renaissance MP3's and I really enjoy them. I'm interested in looking for more stuff.
