It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough.

At my advanced age I wouldn't have checked out so much modern/current stuff without PA. Usually if there's a buzz about something on the forums it's for a good reason, I've found.
My 18-y-o son keeps me up to date with most things metal, so I'll thank you good folks at PA for:
1. Mastodon - Crack the Skye (my son doesn't like them so I'd never have heard it otherwise; ironically I loaned it him and he loved it so much he's re-evaluating the previous stuff, as am I)
2. Pendragon - Pure (I wasn't a fan of the earlier stuff and wouldn't have checked it out without PA)
3. Karmakanik - Who's the Boss in the Garage (pure PA discovery)
4. The Decemberists - The Hazards of Love (magnificent album worth every word of praise here on PA IMO)
5. Khan - Space Shanty (I had it but lost it years ago and in the Febus thread I was given the sound advice to repurchase it - and boy am I glad I did 'cos it sounds better than it ever did).
In return I'm pleased to have persuaded a few folks to check out Fusion Orchestra and Horslips |

1. Marillion
(Wouldn'tve fallen in LOVE with them if not for the Music streaming here on PA)
2. Maudlin Of The Well
(Wouldn'tve ever downloaded Part The Second or fallen in love with it if not for a post on here...)
3. A greater appreciation for Prog in general
4. A community of incredibly intelligent and non-abusive forum-posting people, who express and debate opinions in an incredibly civil and diplomatic manner.
5. A greater understanding for what makes Prog rock progressive, and why it should be appreciated and enjoyed.
THANKYOU ALL

Most of the great classic Symphonic Prog (Yes, Genesis and others) and modern Symphonic Prog (Anglagard, After Crying, etc.). Most Fusion (Miles Davis, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Brand X), Post Rock (all of it), Experimental/Technical Prog Metal (Opeth, Negura Bunget, Parallaxe, Spastik Ink, Blotted Science, Maudlin of The Well), Zeuhl (Magma!) and man other greats such as Van der Graaf Generator, Mars Volta, etc. Actually I've found prog with PA!

This has been done before, but I think it's fun to revisit (I've bought alot of music, so my answers have changed)
What are your 5 favorite albums you've discovered since finding PA? Preferably albums you didn't even know existed before coming here.
1. Devin Townsend - Terria
2. Quella Vecchia Locanda - Il Tempo della Gioia
3. Pentangle - Basket of Light
4. Ohm:
5. Cynic - Traced In Air

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.
