You become more familiar with those songs you've listened to from within the progressive rock genre.

You find some artists whose material you enjoy and some whose material you don't enjoy.

When a border guard asks you for a passport and you supply a 7 minute synth solo , you know you're done!
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Eventually, once you've listened to some bands for a long enough time to know that you really enjoy them, you start asking for suggestions of groups who are similar.

You become knowledgeable about various aspects of various types of progressive rock music (if you look into it) and can tell your friends things they don't want to hear about bands they don't want to hear.

That happened to me when 'The Runaway' by Gentle Giant came on my ipod. You just can't walk to that tune.
