Prog in unexpected public places.

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.

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

Godspeed You! Black Emperor mentioned on The Cleveland Show.  

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

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. 

A portuguese surf TV show was just now playing Mike Oldfield's North Star in the background

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

For some reason I can't remember where I was but recently I heard the Kansas song "Portrait(he knew)." I saw this guy playing acoustic guitar and singing not too long ago so it might have been him who played it.

I remember on two occasions a loooooong time ago hearing YES in a record store. One time a guy was playing Tormato on vinyl. I pretended I didn't recognize it and said "Is that YES?" and he said yes. The other time was when my brother and I walked into a record store(late eighties also I think)and we heard this booooom which is like a panpipe or something which starts the beginning of "hearts." My brother asked me if it was YES and I said yes. :) I suppose a record store isn't much of a stretch. I once heard the ELO song "Fire on high" at a party. That's a very proggy instrumental track by them.
