Camel, and a host of others. I went into a big depression in the 80s when the movement seemed to wane. Appreciated the neo-prog bands like
Marillion during that down time. These days I am much happier with the state of Progressive Rock with the likes of Transatlantic, The Flower Kings, Dream Theater, Spock's Beard, et. al. I have over 1,580 CDs on my 160 gig Ipod -- 1,200 are Progressive Rock or Fusion albums. I have many more CDs which I've digitized into 320mb mp3s. They take up over 1/2 a 1TB drive. I am in the process of building a computer that'll be my home entertainment center for stereo, blue-ray, internet & cable.

towards RIO, avant-prog and zeuhl, with Magma being my favourite band "of all time" and the only band worthy of ever having their logo as a tattoo on my body :P. Anything that's experimental, avant-garde, chaotic, totally unconventional and loose in structure appeals to me - I also prefer instrumental music or music where the lyrics are irrelevant, as I don't really care about the ostensible "meaning" in music. I detest the pop stylings of many 'prog' bands and am averse to virtually all forms of popular music. Peace and love! :)

say, I've read and listened to The
Canterbury Scene, the most well known Prog bands, such as Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, I also know some of the Contemporary Classical-Prog, like Univers Zero and Art Zoyd, and I know basically the entire Expreimental/Avant-Garde scene. Prog has literally changed my life, and it has helped me broaden my horizons, I listen to basically all music now thanks to Progressive Rock. I would love to take part in this project, as it would help others learn more about such great music.

particular bands, I'm strongly attuned to odd and shifting meter, polyrhythms, unconventional harmony and counterpoint/polyphony. I know theory pretty well, read notes and love to analyze music on a nuts-and-bolts level to try to explain why I like something. As opinionated as I doubtless can be I also know the difference between making objective points about music and merely slogging one's own opinion, which I will work to avoid here.

I'm a major proghead, but also a rather opinionated one. For instance, I can't stand Pink Floyd, am indifferent to Rush and sort of actively loathe anything smacking of "neo-prog" or "neo-old school prog" — which seems to sort of vitiate the whole idea of being progressive in the first place. I
