Pretty much every band.  But like I said in my other post, on a seperate topic, that would have to be Ozrics and IQ.  I actually found out about Porcupine Tree because of Opeth.  Steven Wilson produced some Opeth albums, so I figured I check out Porcupine Tree, and I was not dissappointed.

Van Der Graff Generator. Awesome vocals, sax and organ. Lyrics are so dark and evil, along the instrumentation. Genius band.

Jane and The Enid are great bands which I've discovered in ProgArchives. BTW, The Enid was a recommendation of a fellow progger!

Ankedoten

Djam Karet

White Willow

St Elmos Fire

Isildur's Bane

Wobbler

Riverside

These are all bands I have bought albums by as a result of this site, but I have downloaded loads more and will get round to them eventually!

I have also been tempted back to old, almost forgotten friends like GG, Yes, KC etc.

And Opeth.  Love them.  Would have never heard them if I hadn't found this place.  I figured tham for just another growling metal band after hearing parts of Orchid some years ago.  But since learning of their many other works on the archives, I've picked up Damnation, Deliverance, and Blackwater Park.  It seems they've gotten progressively more prog (imagine that ) over the past decade, to the point where I actually hear them on both of the college radio stations here in town (even though they are both Christian colleges, and I wouldn't call Opeth a band that promotes their causes):

Tells me what to say
Pours himself inside
Snuffs the final light"

Some under the radar 70s bands, like Audience (House on the Hill is great in that late 60s English heavy/light sort of way) and Comus (a creepier, more listenable Incredible String Band...I'd actually compare 'em more to Spirogyra).

I've also learned from PA that bands like Kansas and Rush still have a strong following....didn't we make them rich enough back in the day?  Back to the counting room!

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Almost every band... haha. I was already a fan of Yes, Rush, Genesis, Dream Theater, Kansas, and some Tull, but I was really opened up to all of them thru progarchives. Some of the bands that I've really gotten into because of this site are:

Spock's Beard

Porcupine Tree

Camel

Symphony X

Gentle Giant

The Flower Kings

Van Der Graaf Generator

... and so many more...
