Upbringing and education made me appreciative of the more complex forms of music; personality turned me on to the power of rock.

So my personal preferences went (obviously lol) to the wonderful world of progressive rock.  I started off with ELP’s Tarkus, way back in 1973 (Gods and fairies I am old!) and never turned back.

Here are my current favorites, what I carry on my mp3 player:

Sylvan: Posthumous Silence

Pendragon: Not of this World

Dream Theater: Black Clouds... 

Stream of Passion: The Flame Within

Dave Matthews Band: Big Whiskey...

IQ: Freqquency

Panic Room: Visionary Position

Epica: Classical Conspiracy

Riverside: Anno Domini HD
