Fuck y'all I'm fogey-fying this thread.

Look at all us freaks cluttering your city streets
Still scalping their ticket-less applause
Spun monkeys on the railroad track, take me to the caine field; I walk along pick my spiderbite
Basically Kyoko Kirigiri

I heard pull me under on the radio when I was 13. Borrowed Live at Budakon from My Uncle, watched it and fell in love with Trial of Tears and SoC, also Hells Kitchen bells. I then bought Octavarium, and found my dad had Awake. I then listened to Scenes at age 15, and they've been my favorite band ever since

Discovered 14 years ago from last Friday.  Yup, remember the exact day: Oct. 27 1998.

I'm 33 now.  But my students thought I was 27.

I see your fogey, and raise you with a crusty. I was 29 when I bought the new release of Images and Words after hearing PMU on late night radio...

About 4 years ago, when I was about to turn 16.

Well, the term "youngster" in the thread title is pretty much relative.  We're both youngsters compared to 90 year olds.   :lol

I was 26 when I got I&W in 1992.  I was a youngster then too, so yeah.

I was born in September of 1992, my dad found Images and Words about a week before I was born. He was listening to it the day they took me home from the hospital.  :metal


Though, I was like 10 when I started to like them, and like 14 when I really started to appreciate them.

My dad picked up Awake around the time Scenes came out, so I was 9.

I didn't really find them, per say. My one friend recommended I listen to one of their songs on the bus at school. It was junior year in high school (2004/05)(17yo). The song was "As I Am". I liked it, but didn't really get into them until fadetoblackdude7 showed me Scenes from a Memory months later. After that I picked up Images and Words.
Then Scenes From a Memory.
Then Octavarium.
Then everything else.
The last one I got I didn't even buy. ftbd7 went into the city to see Petrucci at a clinic about his guitar before BC&SL came out. When he came back I got a signed copy of SDoIT.

So, seven years later, here I am. :)

I was around 11 when my older brother told me to listen to Six Degrees and I loved it. That was almost a decade ago... I suddenly feel very old.

About 18 I guess (now 24). Glad I did, 'cause I'll use The Spirit Carries On in my funeral soon. Perfect song for a situation like that. I guess it was natural for me to like a progressive band like DT as I was playing in the greatest youth wind band in the country. I was used to all kinds of weird and complex music.

The first time I heard The Spirit Carries On, I vowed to have it played at my funeral. Still plan on it, and don't think I'll ever change my mind . Such a wonderful song.

I was 11 when I first heard about Six Degrees on Last FM, at which point I had a fetish for long songs.

I knew about them since I was 14 but didn't become a fan until over a year later when I listened to my first song, In The Name Of God. The rest of TOT followed after that, and soon after, the rest of their discography.
