My brother got me hooked on prog when I was around 11-12... It was first Dream Theater, then Queensryche whom I still enjoy. In the last few years these bands have been added to my collection:: Kamelot, Evergrey, Epica, Nevermore, Therion, and ofcourse Symphony X... It is difficult to introduce a mainstream radio listener to prog but I have done it before and they never knew this genre existed. I try all the time to but where I am from, Grand Rapids, Mi, prog is barely known. I notice all the prog bands go to Detroit, MI instead of coming right to my area. There isn't a strong fan base for them here.
