I was more into prog metal stuff like TOOL and Karnivool and Soen than prog rock. I mean, I listened to some of that too: Pink Floyd, some Yes, Tarkus etc. Just didn't prefer it.

Anyway, I stopped listening to a lot of Prog stuff once I left college. I think Emptyself's Nothing Follows, Nothing Stays (pic rel) was a big album for that transition, so to speak. It's not even prog really, its melancholic and has more of a bluesy R&B vibe, but it was still cerebral, and felt like the logical conclusion to what I was looking for out of that style of music.
