Hello All I have been using ProgArchives to research my music for a long time. It's tough to find somewhere you can get insightful commentary on music my wife calls "wrinkly rock"!! I have been a huge fan of Hammill, ELP for years and have since broadened my interests to everything from IQ, Spock's Beard, Porcupine Tree, PFM to the Gabriel years at Genesis. I love the reviews and the recommendations. I am humbled by the expertise of some of the members. From a Brit in LA!! ------------- Meurglys III - He's My Friend |

hello and welcome, VDGG. "expert" is relative. no-one is an expert for all of prog, that would be just too much. but some are certainly experts in certain areas or sub-genres of prog. but even the best expert always learns new things in his or her field of expertise all the time -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

BaldJean Thanks for your welcome. I agree that to be an expert in all sub-genres of Prog is a tall order, but a collection of knowledgable people such as those brought together by ProgArchives provides expertise greater than us individually. I learn something new everytime I log on - a peviously unheard of band, or a forgotten album. Good stuff!
