Was a Senior in High School.. (19) ( had to do 4th grade over) "" some kind of Spelling issue I think? Didnt Know or heard of the word PROG.....But I liked Genesis though...

I was a Junior in High School (mind you an all-male, mandatory Air Force ROTC high school). I was heavy into Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Wishbone Ash,
Zeppelin, etc. I was just getting into ELP, Genesis, Renaissance, Yes, Moody Blues, King Crimson, Camel, and the Canterbury bands...basically all the great early Prog bands.

 

[Leyth Mulla]

I was six years old. All I knew of the music world was Classical music and "Days Of Future Passed" from The Moody Blues...

[Joey Jojo]

I was 8 and listening to a lot of my older brother and sister's singer-songwriter albums, like the first America album and Cat Steven's "Teaser and the Firecat". I still love both albums.

St. John's Military Acadamy?

Not St. John's but Marist High School here in Atlanta. Not only was the school all male and ROTC, but the school was run by Marist Priest. It was a great college prep school.

 

[Metman]

Great!
