Je,je,je,je...I live in Bilbao. The most progressive thing here was Uriah Heep concert in 1976 and another with Triana, and some prog cds and vinyls in the music shops (when you find them).
 
A difficult place for prog...I´m afraid.

The closest that I can think of at the moment is Black Sabbath.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Hmmm...I'm from Lakewood, New Jersey and I don't know of any prog bands that started there. The closest I can come up with is Gary Wright who played with Spooky Tooth. He was born in Cresskill, NJ which isn't more than an hours drive from where I was born.

I live in San Antonio need I say more. To be fair we do have a post rock-y  band in the vein of Dredg called Pop Pistol but I do not consider the prog but I don't really consider Dredg prog either. About 65 miles north of me in Austin we have the venerable Explosions In The Sky and members of Giant Squid are from Austin but they relocated to San Francisco.

I amost forgot that guitar player Ron Jarzombek is from my hometown of San Antonio and he's the guitar player of Blotted Science and the late,great tech-prog metal band Watchtower which is beforre my time but from what I hear pretty impressive. they were a big influence on the early progressive death metal band like Athiest,Cynic,and Pestilence.

I live between York and Leeds - slightly nearer to York, so I claim Mostly Autumn as being from my patch.

A great band and really nice people, too.

I live in Cologne, which had a big prog scene in the 70s, spearheaded by Can, of course.

Absolutely nothing from Carmarthen, Wales, as far as I know, but Roger Glover did marry a local girl!
