Prog Archives has been a major source of music for me in the past three years (I've been a member for one of those years). I can't say that all of my music has been from here, but a good amount of it was either found here or mentioned to me by other members.
Without PA, I wouldn't have known about:
Porcupine Tree // everything by Steve Wilson
Opeth
Camel
Explosions in the Sky
and basically my entire record collection and at least 70% of my CDs.
(I feel like I need to mention more: MO, FZ, OT, PoS, PF, ELP, PFM, RPI in general, GYBE!, etc etc)
(I also discovered my favorite non-prog genre here by recommendations of members: Minimalism)

Man, this is really hard, since this site has been so helpful in the development of my musical taste in the past three years. I can't name three artists, but I can name four: (In no particular order) 1. King Crimson 2. Magma 3. Ozric Tentacles 4. Frank Zappa Along with Rush, those are my top five.

The whole Math Rock/Post Rock style was completely foreign to me before I started coming on this site, and look where I am now, a collab on the Math Rock team. The genre is probably the style that I most enjoy now and I owe it all to PA and the members on here with their knowledge and recommendations. Not to mention the countless other bands I've gotten into on this website, but we'd be here all day.

Gentle Giant
Van der Graaf Generator
Peter Gabriel (solo)
All three are very high in my top artists and I did not listen to them before my stint on PA (except for the song Sledgehammer, you can thank VH1's top 100 videos of all time for that one.)

I owe a lot to this website. I came on here having only heard dream theater a long while back, right around the time they released Train of Thought, and have discovered HUNDREDS of bands. the three i probably would never have found out about are
Maudlin of the Well
Devin Townsend
Godspeed you! Black Emperor.
These are among my favorite ever and I owe a lot of it to PA

If we're picking genres, Canterbury, no question about it. It went from something I had never even heard of to my favorite genre in a few months - I'm more excited about music now than I ever have been in my life.
Best non-Canterbury find on the site is IZZ.

^ Have you tried Anglagard's website? They have 3 songs that are available for download. Unfortunately, those are the only 3 that I have heard so far.

Viva PA!

I have made a plethora of discoveries due to PA in the last two years. The top three are Porcupine Tree, Opeth and The Flower Kings.

Definitely, Los Jaivas.
It was not love at first sight, but it seems it's love till the rest of my life.  I don't think I could "meet" this wonderful Chilean band without PA. Thanks to all who reviewed "Alturas de Macchu Picchu" CD and DVD, you helped me to find music I was searching for. |

I found ProgArchives in a very early state of mine... So I discovered a lot of band, msot recent of which must be Arena. But, as the top three, I could easily pick up Caravan and Camel. In fact through these I found my way to fusion and Canterbury scene which both have become my personal favourites. Oh, yes, and then the third. Absolutely The Flower Kings. I listened to their sample, bought one record, and now I try not to miss anything the release!
