Youtube video to Jetpacks Was Yes by Periphery was posted as a comment to a picture on Mythbusters's Facebook photos. Was the second highest-rated comment, even.

I was surprised because Platinum is not well know outside the prog community, contrarily to Moonlight Shadow.

I often hear the Oldfield and Maggie Riley song played at work. Moonlight Shadow (or somesuch). Kind of bland really.

I was working out in the gym at work last night where they normally pipe in country, pop or classic rock and was stunned to hear Hawkwind - Hurry On Sundown from their debut album coming through. I literally had to stop and listen.

Cool! In 1979, I was in a beach resort town Mangalia (near Constanta) in Romania during Nicholai Ceacescu's reign and heard "Awaken" on the radio of the tour bus driver. One of the very best Yes songs, made even better by the exotic circumstances! Nothing like symphonic prog mingled with AK-47s!

I dunno if this was mentioned yet but there's an episode in the show Parks and Recreation where the character Tom makes a video for Leslie Knope and he's talking about all the unfortunate events that happened the year she was born and one of them is "Peter Gabriel leaves Genesis". Totally caught me off guard because it's so obscure and not like Tom's character at all.
good show too

A while back I went to the local beach for a swim, and the fibro shack near the walkway had some familiar music blaring out of it. I knew the guitar sound so stopped and analysed it. The Lamia (from Genesis' The Lamb) of all things. I wanted to knock on the door and shake the hand of the folk within.

Not prog, but quite unexpected -- I heard Sabbath's "Symptom of the Universe" as background music on a radio sports/talk show this morning. I don't think I've ever heard that on the radio before, even back when the album was released.

Earlier today I heard The Moody Blues' Nights in White Satin playing in a café I ate at.

That is pretty weird but 1982 I was in a Chinese Restaurant in my home town of Bishopbriggs, Glasgow where they played in its entirety the whole Pornography album by the Cure. Yes, I was stone cold sober but will never forget the look on my fellow diners faces. When the waiter was questioned about the choice of music he merely gesticulated as if to say: deal with it bitches |

I was in a little restaurant on Bantayan Island, Philippines, and the owner played YES. Was really cool to hear Awaken at such unexpected place.

Frank Zappa was mentioned prominently in a movie I just watched the other night called "Rock School." I just bought this dvd recently. It's a documentary based on the school of rock. The kids play at the annual Zappanale festival in Germany. A couple of ex Zappa and MOI members even have a cameo. Has anyone seen this movie? Black Sabbath's music was also featured prominently.

Just heard Lamb Lies Down On Broadway's title track in the supermarket. Seems like a rare occurrence but I'm not sure

The cafeteria in my old college played the entire Close to the Edge album once, which was pretty sweet.
In the past couple weeks, I've also heard Explosions in the Sky and Sigur Ros used in television commercials. I don't remember what Explosions was selling. Sigur Ros was in an ad for the upcoming world cup |

Just caught an episode of Adventure Time in which Zappa's Apostrophe album cover makes a cameo. (The episode is "Bad Timing".)
