Sure, I loved Genesis during the mid to late '70s.Saw them a few times up to 1982, but after Hackett left, so did the sound that was unique to them.I'd put Bowie and Roxy Music into the prog/rock category too, or at least ecletic.Some great stuff was made from '72-79, and it holds up well, much better than any US prog bands could do.Tough to beat Suppers' Ready live ;-)

I'm 20. I listen to all kinds of music except for rap and the premanufactured pop crap that's on the radio these days. 70s prog rock is definitely my favorite, though.

The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is one of my all-time favorite albums. As for the "mainstream" artists, my favorites are Peter Gabriel-era Genesis, Pink Floyd, ELP, Yes, Rush, Steely Dan (Aja is another one of my favorites), Jethro Tull, and Dream Theater.

As for the more obscure stuff, I really like Van Der Graaf Generator (especially Still Life) and Gentle Giant. I heard Anekdoten a while back which I really liked, but I don't have any of their albums yet. I also saw Porcupine Tree in Philly last summer, that was a great show.

A friend of mine who's my age is also a big prog rock fan, in fact his dad introduced both of us to a lot of it. For that, I am eternally grateful. :)
