   Greetings from Ohio. It seems that this is the place to be to discover
interesting and innovative music--Prog Archives, I mean, certainly not
Ohio.

I've listened to a good deal of progressive rock.
Admittedly, much has failed to captivate me, some of it quite highly

Gorilla Museum. All that's missing is Einsturzende Neubauten, Coil, and Robert Rich.
