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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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

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.

5 years ago i was at the disco of a small village where mostly young adults get really really drunk and they play lots of commercial music as from the actual charts or well known partyhits.

however around 3 or 4 in the morning when most of the ppl were gone the dj put on Schism by TOOL Big smile
i instantly ran inside and found myself together with 2 other metalheads banging on an empty dancefloor

Headbanger^^
It's just a ride... <3

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.
