I was just thinking about looking into Dinosaur Jr. again. I never seemed to like My Bloody Valentine as much as everyone else...

A perfect circle (who are arguably semi progressive)
 
...
 
I guess a couple of hardcore bands, but really, I dont listen to a lot of bands that arent here in the archives. Close minded, I know.

Took a while for me to get into both. But I have found the bands I have a hard time getting into are the ones I like best, and continue liking when I grow tired of other bands.

My Bloody Valentine were very influential but even so they're pretty overrated, at least when talking Shoegazing. Tried anything else from that genre by the way?

MBV had a few really good songs, but they were surrounded with pretty boring stuff. I like Slowdive's last album, but that's about it for the classics. Autumn's Grey Solace and A Shoreline Dream are very good for modern shoegaze, and I'm using Pandora to try to find some more.

I've heard less modern shoegaze than I'd like to. I will see if I can find something by the bands you mention

Hard to say, since at least half of my listening is non-prog. 

Some regular favorites: Robert Rich, Iron Maiden, Miles Davis (1968-71), Gateway, Rapoon, Hardcore Chambermusic, George Crumb, Steve Reich, classical music

Some more recent favorites: Flanger, Mushroom, pre-Headhunters Herbie Hancock, Jordi Savall, Slough Feg
