  Hello, prog fans Big smile, my name is Tim Charlier. I'm 13 and I listen to good
music (prog) since 3 years. Genesis was the first prog band I discovered, thanks to my brother Tom (God_was_a_Mellotron) Wink.
 Outside of prog, I like jazz and especially arab and indian music.
 Amongst my favourites are Gentle Giant, Van Der Graaf Generator, News From Babel, Marsupilami, Soft Machine, Yes, Frank Zappa, Egg (see my name), Gryphon, ...
 I play the bass and my model is Chris Squire, the best bassist of all time!!
  Sorry if I'm a bit slow at writing reviews, but I don't speak English very well Embarrassed.

Wow, great taste for a 13-year-old.Clap  That's around the same time I started getting into Prog.  I bolded some of my favorites of your preferred artists.  I'm going to assume that you already like King Crimson (most VDGG/GG/FZ fans do,) so I'll recommend you the band Gnidrolog.  Great Eclectic Prog band in the same vein as VDGG and KC.

If you like arabic music, Gentle Giant, Soft Machine, Frank Zappa and Egg... you should check Ktzat Acheret's self titled album out!

Welcome! We need more young people in here! we aren't that common around here...
