Prog in unexpected public places.

This is one of the most beautiful things that ever happened to me. Coming back from the beach I was listening to Relayer in the car with my brother and my father, and we stopped at a traffic light. A white and luxurious car pulls up next to us and the music is very loud. We turned down the volume to see what was playing and you won't believe what it was.... That's right, Relayer! Here in my city there is almost no progressive rock movement, everyone listens to reggaeton and music with no spirit. The chances of that happening are very slim. It surprised us and brought a big smile to our faces.

So I guess we should assume if he were to have Genesis on his show he would want Mike Rutherford, Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Chris Stewart and Anthony Phillips? ;)

I remember after seeing a show (I think Jon Anderson) there was a woman walking along and her phone rang. She had a song from relayer (I think gates of delirium) as her ringtone. I talked to her and quickly realized who she was because we were both members of the Yes fans website. Anyway, your story beats mine for sure.

No unfortunately. It all happened so fast! I remember turning down the volume and it took me about 5 or 10 seconds to recognise that it was the same disc because the chances of that happening are almost invisible. When I told them about it, the traffic light was already green and we couldn't say anything to him (on top of that he turned into another street). Your story is nice too! One of those that you don't forget.

There is a new Ford F150 commercial that uses Atlas by Battles. One of the wackier choices for a pickup truck jingle.

^After doing a little digging online and googling "to be continued meme music" and having roundabout pop up I can now say with certainty that was definitely a JoJo reference. 

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure was definitely created by a prog fan. Apparently the series uses music by Yes as well as KC, and there are a few veiled KC references in the show I've been told.
