I've got to start listening to more progressive music. All the bands you've mentioned or links you've posted I've liked... I don't know any of the bands you've mentioned here, but I bet Lukather will be ripping up the fretboard.

Hey, do you think you could post a "Prog Primer" thread to get us progressive music noobs pointed in the right direction? That would be most informative, if you haven't already!

There are a couple of sources for Prog information and listening that I use.

To listen to great Prog from your computer go to http://www.deliciousagony.com/
The audio fidelity is awesome.

And my main source of info is http://www.dprp.net/index.php The Dutch Progressive Rock Pages
