Many. I name two of the greatest, namely Sonar and Bubu. Special thanks go to HelloGoodbye/Pierre and his Four Little Gems series, unfortunately discontinued, from which I bought quite a few, e.g., Egberto Gismonti and Jorge Reyes (I don't even think they're listed on PA but still).

When I first stumbled upon PA is when I first really started forming some prog understanding.
Since I like to know he history of a music I went straight for the “Classic” era top list. PA introduced me to GG, Camel, VDGG, PFM, Banco, Zappa, Egg, Museo Rosenbach, heaps ect. I was already onto Yes and Floyd because you can’t really miss them even outside of prog |

I was already familiar with Genesis and Yes(obviously), ELP, Gentle Giant, Camel, Caravan, Frank Zappa, Saga. And discovered through this site Magma, Van der Graaf Generator, Barclay James Harvest, Tangerine Dream, Spock's Beard, and many others.

PA gave me a very good idea of where to start with Zappa's abusively large discography
 Other bands would include Camel, Caravan, VDGG, Gentle Giant, Robert Fripp's solo material, Klaus Shultz, Magma and Tangerine Dream. PA also introduced me to more obscure PF material and, of course, Syd Barrett-era Floyd; before I discovered this website I had only listened to Animals, The Wall, WYWH, and DSOTM.

I think my biggest discovery since hanging out on this site is Island.
Still exploring other new-to-me names, so I'm sure more will emerge. So much music, so little time.

The Great people here on PA is responsible for (re)opening for me the doors of all the new prog music since the 80's (time when I refused keeping up with what was being made then - with only a few honorable exceptions, mostly female singers - and took a long shelter inside a bubble of classic rock from the previous decades)

As mentioned earlier on in this thread it'd probably be easier just to list the ones that didn't come from here.
Well I knew of Floyd and TD before joining up  |
