You should get on that.
Free Hand, Glass House, or Power and the Glory are all good starting points. Octopus is also good, but I wouldn't consider it excellent, nor a good starting place (however, the song Knots is a prog anthem and should without a doubt be in the possession of EVERY SINGLE PROG FAN IN THE WORLD!)

Don't be ashamed of that, I wouldn't have heard/discovered 80s Genesis, Styx, any prog metal band or Roxy Music through PA (among others) and I consider all of those mainstream.

GG is mandatory for anyone who has even heard of prog. More so even than Yes or Genesis.

Thank you PA for all the good times I've spent since I found you!
But in order to name only one in particular it would have to be:
HARMONIUM (!!!)

Discus!!!
Their second album, TOT LICHT, is absolutely astonishing.
The best possible prog for the new millenium.

...the music of the Zeuhl/Avant-Garde/Krautrock/Canterbury realm...
Some bands in particular: Magma, Dun, Yezda Urfa, Caravan, Soft Machine, Henry Cow, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, GY!BE, Gong, Can, Kayo Dot...among others.
And also, if it were not for PA, I would never have heard of Bass Communion or Steven Wilson's ambient projects (though, more particularly, it is Dan [asimplemistake] who introduced me to them via his myspace top friends. Thanks, PA, all the same)
