When I first came here in early July I had never heard of Genesis, Premiata Forneria Marconi, and I had not heard anything by Emerson, Lake & Palmer. It got me started on many many bands; too many to list here. Those three are the biggest though! PA also helped me branch out my knowledge of bands that I already knew existed, or had a couple songs from. EDIT: Oh yeah, Camel! Anglagard, too. Le Orme... Banco.  EDIT #2: And Harmonium... Jethro Tull.

Explosions in the Sky has been the major highlight for me. Sigur Ros, GYBE, The Tangent and A Silver Mt. Zion have all been impressive finds too.
I have Dalezilla to thank for the recommendations

I've discovered, and re-discovered, plenty of great stuff here over the last year or so.
To choose one: Gentle Giant! I did not know of these guys before finding them thanks to the top 100 albums list... That list, the mp3s, and the reviews was an invalubale resource (I didn't bother with the forums much then as a resource).
I could not believe that I didn't know these guys before.
After months without anyone to share my Gentle Giant joy with, I decided to register here.

I would have to say ' Riverside' whose first album really impressed and I'm getting into their latest offering 'Second life syndrome' too, a very refreshing sound.

Can. I'd heard of them, but never heard them before I started lurking around here. I now own 4 cd's and am planning on more. Great stuff!

Van Der Graaf Generator of course. And Peter Gabriel Genesis. If it weren't for progarchives I never would have realized this band had such an awesome past that was so different from the stuff I heard on the radio.
