Help the young boy to improve jeje

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

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
