[rick_wakeman]

Vale - todavia es un placer saber que aun los màs jovenes se interesan al rock progresivo. Conoces al grupo Cast? Estan en Mexico tambien. Tienes el website de prog archive si quieres mejorarte. Escuchar a Aural Moon es un bueno principio!

King Crimson ha de ser el grupo por el que empezar si estas debutando.

Hasta luego amigo.

Hello,

If you go to the "general" section of the forums, you will see a thread called "Top Five Prog Albums". That would be a good place to start.

[Rick and Roll]

what are your preferences? If you state those I (and I'm sure others) can get you a place to start....then it just snowballs from there!

[ProgressiveMan]

pues de hecho hay much grupos. intenta Versus X, High Wheel, Soft Machine, NIL, Anekdoten, Anglagard, Nucleus, Zheul grupos como Can (beware lol), Faust, o Magma, pero estan grupos muy raros - Riverside, SBB, Sigur Ros, Mogwai, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Gong, Strawbs, Egg, John Greaves, Henry Cow, Isildur's bane, Amon Düül II, Archive, Thee Silver Mount Zion, Sotos. Pero eso es una pequeñitita lista. Yo escucho Aural Moon y noto los grupos que me interesan.

Crap???? You must mean GY!BE, Tarentel, Don Cabazero then spaz........

[rick_wakeman]

Don Caballero lol si estas buscando a ritmos o obscurantism

[Lemur]

Seems like it's very difficult to find people who like progressive rock no matter what country you're in.

Har har har har har

[Elric68]

I would personnaly add Pendragon and IQ to start, and Arena and also Pallas.

I know that it is in jest, but it is an unfair comment Keithie. Quite frankly I find my musical taste parallels spaz's quite closely. Also as a younger member in our family, his input is especially valuable since it comes from a young guy who also appreciates and likes the older prog. An example of why I appreciate spaz's input: his recomendation of The Appleseed Cast helped bridge the musical gap between me and my son (16 years old) and now all he listens to is prog. Any help that I can get to help me stay in touch with me teenage son is greatly appreciated. All hail the mighty Spaz!!!

I don't know if I'd start the lad out on GYBE.

In fact, i disagree w/ that being a good starting list.
It was more of a "personal preferences" of relatively obscure
prog bands than "progressive rock 101".

IMO-Stick to the basics- Yes, KC, Tull, Gabriel/Genesis, Floyd, Rush.
These are the bands that started a great percentage of us.

After a good grounding, move into Gentle Giant, Porcupine Tree,
early Spock's Beard. At 17 ( possessing a surplus of testoterone
and adrenalin that most of us here lack), you'll probably like Dream Theater.
Also, give a listen to the Mexican prog band "Cast".
Thase had a pretty good CD a couple of years ago, "Nimbus".

Unlike Magma, ect., Most of these can also be found on YouTube.com,
a better way of checking them out w/o shelling out el grande pesos.

BTW- Are you familiar w/ the Mexican band "Mana"?
I know/jammed w/ their little brother Abraham.
Great drummer. He left the band, thinking he was better than
his brothers, 6 months before they were signed to Columbia Records


P e a c e and welcome to the moon,
