You become more familiar with those songs you've listened to from within the progressive rock genre.

Eventually, once you've listened to some bands for a long enough time to know that you really enjoy them, you start asking for suggestions of groups who are similar.

You become knowledgeable about various aspects of various types of progressive rock music (if you look into it) and can tell your friends things they don't want to hear about bands they don't want to hear.

That happened to me when 'The Runaway' by Gentle Giant came on my ipod. You just can't walk to that tune.

Yeah, that happens to me often enough with my wife. I might also say, when you hear non prog songs you used to like, you find them rather simplistic an boring... well, that hasn't happened with all the songs I used to like, but some songs indeed I don't like as much as I remembered. Some other songs feel like old friends I haven't seen (heard) in a long time. |

Well, in that case I guess reading and participating in those unessesary threads is a very important symptom... and perhaps even more common than making the thread, because for every thread that is made, there are tens of replies. |
