Air BnB commercial. Unexpected music starts at 17 seconds in. I hope most on here recognize it. Is it prog? Close enough.

I guess you could start by listening to the whole Images and Words album from Dream Theater, along with Awake if you are at it, both albums with exactly the same line-up. If you like it, you might go for the rest of their discography. Depending on what you have been liking, you might ask for more recommendations along the way.

For one thing it's not a "new" kind of music and also this is the wrong place to post this question. Start your own post in the general prog music lounge but not here.

I'm going to count this. I was at a Best Buy near me and saw this in the vinyl record section.

The Talking Heads (all members) were on Jimmy Fallon tonight. Jerry Harrison mentions the term "prog" as in "16 minute guitar solos." LOL He was trying to make a point about bands trying to go for a more stripped down sound in response to "excess." You could tell Jimmy Fallon probably didn't know what he meant by "prog" but understood the terms "punk and "new wave."

Mystery science did it again. In a really awful movie about an evil monkey toy that a guy buried in the ground only to be swallowed by the ensuing chasm, Tom Servo pointed out that you're supposed to dig a pony and shock the monkey.

That was a very fine debut LP! 

True it was but a lot of fans (especially those from the first wave) poop on it because it's not prog enough.

BBC 1 'mockumentary' called 'Meet the Richardsons' (Jon Richardson and Lucy Beaumont), a married couple (both 'stand-up' comedians from the north of England) as a film crew follows them around their domestic lives.. to a soundtrack entirely made up of bits of the album 'Stand up' by Jethro Tull (see what they did there?Wink).. plus i think there's a few bars of 'Living in the past' and 'Witches promise' stuck in there too..

This morning I was walking down Royal Street in New Orleans and heard Tubular Bells blaring out of a little voodoo shop east of Jackson Square. I love this town.

I used to hang out with Trace (Crow / Dr. Clayton Forester). In fact he was my boss for a while, back when he had an ordinary job. He was a blast.

Totally awesome!

I’ve been catching some surprises on Netflix lately. On Baby Reindeer, a series dealing with mental illness, i heard I Talk to the Wind, not from ITCOTCK, but one of the more obscure versions like the Judy Dyble one I think. Then there was a snippet of an Eno song from Another Green World, I think it was I’ll Come Running, but it went by pretty fast. Then they used Jethro Tull’s Teacher pretty predominantly.

In the silly movie Unfrosted there was an Aqualung album cover suck on a ‘60s teenager’s bedroom door. The timeline was off a bit, but I appreciated it anyway.

When I walked into the gym yesterday, they were playing No Reply at All by Genesis.  When I got out of the shower at the gym this morning, they were playing Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush.  I know both are on the pop side of prog, but they were both surprising since the gym is usually playing modern pop/hip-hop.

I love the constant prog references in Mystery Science Theatre 3000. I just saw an episode where a military officer was walking down the hall of a research building, and Crow quipped “Hey, he just walked past Robert Fripp’s room!” In another episode, Crow and Tom Servo were lamenting that Gypsy doesn’t like ELP. They just couldn’t figure out why. In another they were rambling on about Jethro Tull and started mimicking the opening riff from Aqualung.
