Modern music's success

[ZoOgY-DoOgY]

That's exactly what i'm talking about The fact is you were not alone to discover. You could probably discover prog yourself alone, yes, of course, many people do it too. But it is "easier" with a father/a mother/a brother/a friend. Easier with a community, easier with a beer...

Yup, I agree on this. The experimentation has to be done alone first, but someone has to introduce you to the prog world before, to advise you, to tell you what are the gems and what are the boring albums, and then you can experiment by yourself.
