Thanks! These two got on my "to get" list immediately after I've fallen totally in love with "Les Porches". What a band, and what a shame I have never heard about them till two weeks ago!

     I had a large music collection for a very long time, and then (for reasons I won't go into) I lost it. About three years ago, I set out to rebuild it. I also had just bought my first computer (I did how to use one, and had been online). I made the decision to explore new things. I couldn't have done this so easily without the internet. My collection is now bigger than it ever was (thank you legaldownloads.com). I have replaced a lot of old favorites, but have a huge amount of new ones (at least to me).
    Because of AMG, and PA, I have discovered Spock's Beard, Porcupine Tree, Anglagard, Magma, PFM, IQ, Caravan, Fish's solo albums, Atomic Rooster, Quatermass, and UK. I finally got around to checking out some I had heard of such as Nektar, Camel, and Gentle Giant. Then there were bands I knew, with some albums I hadn't heard like King Crimson, and Yes.
a.k.a. H.T.

Pretty much all of these. Not The Mars Volta, though.

All of the listed besides Gentle Giant, Camel, VDGG, UK, Eloy, Gong, Tangerine Dream... Wait that's not "almost all", at all.
 
Okay, about a half of that list.

Thanks to this site I've discovered quite a few Italian symphonic prog bands I'd never heard of, and also Änglagård, my favourite new band

I had to vote once for every option, except for VdGG, The Soft Machine and TMV, which I knew before discovering this site. I think I read about them, though not in the same text of course.

Main stream radio is not going to play any of this stuff, so of course the internet is responsible for all kinds of the music I listen to today.

The first one I discovered on the internet (thanks to PA) was Porcupine Tree.
 
But I had no idea there was something like prog. I had heard about some of the "great old ones" (Yes, Genesis, JT, FZ, ELP )but I didn't know they were prog nor had I heard more than the hits.
 
Found this site through some DT link and it went a little like this:
hm Pink Floyd, Dream Theater AND Marillion AND LTE. Hey Pink Floyd is in the upper regions of their top 100. Maybe this "progrock" is for me.LOL
 
Got into a lot of music since then.
Thanks !! Your topics always so good and informative. I like you talk.

Are you kidding? i can spend hours at the headphone station at the store i get music from. im often late for uni because of this.
