I've been told the actor Phil Collins liked the band Genesis.

Erm, celebrities guys, not baseball pitchers that I've never heard of, or News Anchors that I've never heard of!

And Rush really aren't that prog guys.

There is another thread like this... but on there, it says Steve Davis the Snooker player (yes yes, I know, he's an equivalent to a baseball pitcher, hehe) likes Magma and even has a website dedicate to them apparently.

Former Expos (remember them MLB Montreal team?) Warren Cromartie was a Rush fan too.

He actually jammed with them just for fun.He was a drummer btw.

I remember once happening upon a People magazine (it might have been lying around while I was waiting to get my hair cut, or something) that had an article about ace NY Yankees pitcher Randy Johnson, who owns a drum set given to him by Alan White! There was even a photo to prove it.

I like to think of him on the mound tapping his toes to 'Sound Chaser' while mowing down opposing batters with 98 mph fastballs...

I was watching a live DVD by 'THE HUMAN LEAGUE' & one of the extras is an interview with the singer Phil Oakey. He talks very fondly about prog music and how it influenced him. He cites his  favourite bands as YES, THE NICE , KING CRIMSON & TANGERINE DREAM. He actually mentions YES twice during the interview. This really surprised me as prog bands usually get bashed by 80's artists.

This just got me wondering if anyone else knows of non-prog artists/actors or celebs ect who like prog music. I have a couple of others! The sixties crooner Tony Christie listed his ten favourite albums of all time in a recent Sunday newspaper magazine & he had CLOSE TO THE EDGE in there. Also, Mick Jones of The Clash was a prog fan!
