He's not prog?  Well why the hell not!  Congratulations, The Young Ones, Devil Woman are as prog as Dream Theater or Yes IMDHO.

I was shocked to discover that Geddy Lee is in fact a great big Gary! 

Yes, the Rush bassist and singer's real name is Gary.  It's up there with Marilyn Manson's real name of Brian and Peter Gabriel's real name of Hillary.

It got me thinking.  How many other prog musicians have changed their name and what is their former name?
