So is everyone keeping their social distance from prog in public places? Tongue
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Well, some places might play these songs without realizing they are considered prog. I remember mentioning the word prog to a guy at a Genesis tribute band concert and he thought I was talking about "Prague" as in the city in Czech Republic. Confused

Well there's this (and don't let the hip hop put you off):
(EDIT: This uses the Kanye West one already posted.)



I have seen it. I guess that one is so obvious I forgot agbout it. Although most rap kind of rubs me the wrong way I will admit Kanye made very good use of schizoid man in his song "power."

I don't understand how these commercials can possibly sell air conditioners in any language, but they sure do a good job of selling Adrian's propensity for making animal noises with his guitar.

I finally caught it again! Here's a screenshot and a link to a website that has it. Well, it's not a link but if you really want to see it I'm sure you can figure it out. Couldn't find it on youtube.
Why is it so satisfying to see something like this on TV?

Forgot to mention - it's a Dunkin Donuts commercial. Wacko

A commercial just came on and it’s driving me nuts. It was so strange I completely missed what it was for. It started out with an ugly bumpy slippery looking computer animated creature. I think it was female and in a kitchen? Then a smaller equally hideous creature came walking in, and I swear he was wearing a 21st Century Schizoid Man t-shirt! It was kind of worn out and it was sort of murky lighting so it was hard to make it out. He turned and stuck his head in the refrigerator and never turned back so I didn’t get another look at it. Can anyone confirm this sighting? It might have been an Energizer battery commercial.

Taking a little break to sit down and watch some hockey. Before a faceoff with about 25 seconds left to go in the 2nd period of the Sharks/Rangers game, the Madison Square Garden organist busts out with "21st century Schizoid Man". Epic.

I was in an indoor market kind of place recently and saw a guy with a "hot rats" Frank Zappa t shirt. The guy at the record store there said he owns the t shirt store. Interesting.
