I like a lot of kinds of music. When it comes to prog, I'm mostly into Canterbury-type stuff like the Soft Machine, Henry Cow, and early British mainstream prog bands like King Crimson and Yes. |
| Aeternus |
I mostly enjoy 80s prog, acts that can't be called prog but are heavily influenced by it, and other non-traditional prog acts, such as electronic prog and video game prog. I enjoy other stuff outside prog as well. |

Hey, this group is pretty new, since it was created only ten days ago. Sweet. I am looking forward to working for this group, since I am a huge fan of progressive rock and it is among the first music I listened to when I started paying real attention to music. My musical tastes contain but are not limited to progressive rock and metal music, but I have also recently increased the amount of ambient and electronic music that I listen to. I started listening to Pink Floyd when I was 11 or 12 (actually before that, but 11 or 12 was when I really got into them) and they eventually got me into bands such as Genesis and King Crimson, and all the rest is a history containing very many bands. Also, I am interested in music enough so that I have a music career on my hands, albeit one that is very brand new and has only resulted in a demo of 22 copies and an upcoming rare demo, but I plan on having a very active future in that field. I am looking forward to working for and beholding the evolution of this group. Thanks for making this page. Man, I love studying music. |

My main interest is start up a page for a Prog Rock band that I'm interested in and to further advance my knowledge of wiki... |
| CDL |
My current main interest is to improve coverage of British progressive rock bands (Canterbury scene, etc.). |

I like psychedelic rock, symphonic rock, art rock, folk rock and especially progressive rock between '65-'80. Also I have a special interest for synthesizers. |

I've been a wikipedia "user" for a long time. From time to time, I notice there are some less-known bands/albums missing their wikipedia pages (which I believe I can help). I thought it was time I gave a shot at contributing. I've used wikis before, mostly for professional use but really a newbie in a large collaboration community like Wikipedia. |

Born in 1960 and have been a Progressive Rock and Jazz Fusion fan since I was 9 and got my hands on "In The Court Of The Crimson King" by King Crimson. Played the Clarinet, Tenor Sax and Baritone Sax in Symphonic and Jazz bands through College. I favor the Symphonic Progressive bands Yes, Genesis, 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. |

I am a huge progressive rock fan, primarily of the original 70's bands, though new bands such as Ayreon, Porcupine Tree, and The Flower Kings are big favs. I am an experienced guitarist, and am very familiar with the styles and elements that divide the progressive from the traditional. I am also well aquainted with wikipedia and can deal with the backend of the project, including templates and categories. I believe that many bands that are undoubtedly progressive (Such as System of a Down) are labeled not as such by "Reliable sources" such as Allmusic. |

Updated the task panel. Hi! I'm Gilly and I'm a HUGE Prog fan! ;-) Cheers... |

Mostly German prog and Krautrock, although I also like some early English prog and Canterbury Scene. |

I've made minor edits to lots of Porcupine Tree related articles, but i'll do what I can to help here. |

The first time I listened to progressive rock was when my dad popped "Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd" into the CD player in his car. It was a life-changing experience for me. This was strange yet wonderful music, far different and far better than any present-day music I had heard. Since then I have been a lover of progressive rock. There are only two bands that could ever challenge The Beatles for the title of my favorite band; Pink Floyd and Genesis. In my work on this WikiProject, I hope to improve the articles on the albums themselves, and I would like to question the notability rules and give famous prog rock songs with article-worthy information pages of their own. |

I haven't been much of a Wikipedia editor in the past, but I'm passionate about progressive rock I figure I might as well chip in a bit. I'm mostly a fan of older prog - Pink Floyd, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Caravan, ELP, Gentle Giant, Van Der Graaf Generator, etc - but I also have a soft spot for lesser known (and especially non-English) bands from the same period. As bands of the latter group tend to have incomplete articles, I imagine I'll focus my attentions there. |

Hello, I am a progressive rock fan and the first band I liked from this genre is surprisingly Pink Floyd and his album "the wall"; I personally loved (and still think is one of the best songs) Confortably Numb. Since then, two years have passed and I am finding new bands every now and then. That is the main reason to join here; I want to discover more bands and want people like me to know more about the bands I like like Pink Floyd, Supertramp, King Crimson, Riverside, Blackfield.... |

I love all kinds of music, but I have a special affinity for Prog. Looking forward to helping out. |
| Parrot of Doom |
What can I say, except Pink Floyd? Oh, and Pink Floyd. |

As with some others here, I started my love of prog with Pink Floyd; I love Yes, Jethro Tull, ELP, Rush, Moody Blues, Dream Theater, and a number of others. |

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 don't believe "progrock" should be taken as a genre label per se but rather as a suggestion of possibilities. Thus, any style of music can be progressive, and this would be so for attributes that are more-or-less objective.
My personal tip-top faves run through RIO/Zeuhl, Canterbury, Zappa/Beefheart and Allan Holdsworth (I just touched up the Compositions and Style section of the Holdsworth page, made it a tad more accurate in terms of music theory) with a special shout-out to the "pronk" band Cardiacs. Beyond 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.

| The Amazing Pudding |I know a thing or two about Pink Floyd. Passing interest in other such bands, especially Haze. |
| Thunder Bass Master |
I love progresive rock! I like a lot of "abstract" (or so my friend calls it) prog from '65 to '75 like Genesis, Emerson Lake and Palmer, and King Crimson. I also like a lot of modern progressive metal like Dream Theater and Transatlantic. |

I'm a big Yes fan (70s-era, 80s-era and later), and have been working to build Wikipedia's coverage of their song catalog. |

Prog is cool - I've made minor edits to a number of Dream Theater/Kevin Moore-related articles and, if I have enough time at some point, will seriously expand some articles in that area. |
| V Schauf |
I don't know as much about Progressive Rock as I "should" or as much as others here, but you all seemed like a pretty cool group to work with, so here I am. I will be working on Rush some, not so much the actual article about the band but rather adding entries regarding their songs and adding to songs and albums/CDs that already have entries. I have expanded substantially the article for the song "Show Don't Tell" and its album Presto. If you want my help or an opinion, just ask. |

Would like to contribute wherever I can. I am likely the only project member old enough to have seen Genesis w. Gabriel and King Crimson w. Lake (and again w. Wetton) plus many more English progressive rock bands in their earliest stages of existence. |
| Willjillings |
Pink Floyd addict, and love Rush too. |
| Zazaban |
Just a fan - And a guitarist/keyboardist/singer for a band not notable enough to have an article. |

Love progressive rock, especially (but not always) the one which is more classically-driven, yet also the jazzy and folksier prog. Interested in British and Italian prog rock bands, favourites include Pink Floyd and Genesis. |
