We have a CD we warm up to in my PE class. Aqualung is the first track. I absolutely freaked out when it came on, and nobody else knew it. I was a little sad. 
I consider drone metal to be progressive...

On "How I Met Your Mother" last night, Barney pulled out tickets to a Genesis reunion concert at Madison Square Gardens as his excuse for why he couldn't attend an event at an art showing.  This is the second time I can remember him referencing a Genesis reunion concert on the show.

My wife and I were vacationing in Cabo and decided to rent a car and drive up the east coast. After a couple of hours of nothing but sand and cacti we saw a little motel/bar near the beach. We decided to grab lunch and a beer. As we sat down (we were the only people there) Epitaph starts playing through the sound system and it was a radio station.

Yu Yu Hakusho is an anime from the mid 90s. Start this episode at 17 minutes and see if you recognize any of the backgrounds. (Hint: If you are a symphonic prog fan, you should for sure)

I'm loving this thread and can imagine how excited I'll be if I hear some when I'm out and
about. 
Loving newly discovered music here. :)

Don't know if this has been already mentioned, the title theme in the Canadian TV series 'Transporter: The Series' is a cover of Rush's Working Man

In David Cronenberg's movie 'Scanners', in a music store scene we can see Robert Fripp's 'Exposure' and Frank Zappa's 'Sheik Yerbouti'. There also were posters for Japan and XTC. That should have been a good record store Smile
This night wounds time.

I saw a recent UK TV ad for Tescos which used ELP's "Nutrocker" from the "Pictures" album.
At least I thought it was ELP at first, but sounded a bit different to what I remember. I haven't played the album for maybe 20 years, so maybe I remember it wrongly. I know Nutrocker is a cover of someone else, maybe they used the original? Anyone else heard it and can confirm?
 
Second example, Chris Evans played Sylvia by Focus on his Radio 2 breakfast show last week. Prog on daytime Radio 2?!! Nearly fell off my chair...

I have seen an old missed friend in the list for the elections so I have got his e-mail address to tell him that I trust him and I wanted to do something for his campaign. He replies me with this sentence:
 
"Action brings good fortune"
 
It's not usual that a politician quotes Syd Barrett on Chapter 24 (but we played early Pink Floyd stuff together when we were young)
 
Of course he hasn't been elected.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

I walked into the big Comcast cable TV retail outlet/service center where they make you pick a number
because they have so many people.   Yours is No Disgrace by Yes was playing.

I can say that B.Bumble and the Stingers did the original.

Aside from the occasional Rush gems making it onto the radio, I remember going to Florida about 5 years ago with the family for vacation and heard the unmistakable start of 2112 coming from a car driving by us. The best part: That was only a couple days after attending my first Rush Concert during the 2nd leg of the Snakes and Arrows tour. Smile

Also, there was this cigar bar I would frequent during my last year of college with some friends and on their house radio I heard Heart of the Sunrise and a live cut of Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Totally unexpected, but hey, no objections! Thumbs Up
