Anybody out there into prog? It's probably one of the least fashionable genres of music out there

I find that claim unlikely.

I'm a fairly recent initiate into prog, although I did own some early King Crimson stuff at one time. Right now prog is the main thing I've been listening to. Here's some good stuff I found recently, in case anyone might be interested:

I was surprised at how rock-ish Bruford is in that clip. After listening to his drumming on Crimson albums I was expecting more of a reserved, jazz-like demeanor. He's pretty far from that.

Even all the way back then Peter Gabriel was an extraordinary singer.

This is one of my favorite Peter Gabriel tracks. It's not progressive, though. I just like playing along to it on piano.

Can't say I've heard anything quite like this one. There's actually some really good stuff on this album musically, but it's definitely "different."

This is the track most folks in the US are familiar with from SAGA. It was a pretty big hit here. I enjoyed it myself.

I just heard the album In the Land of Grey and Pink by Caravan a few days ago and was quite impressed. Here are a couple of songs from it:

That was cool - hadn't heard it before (at least not that I can recall).

Love Porcupine Tree.

Not the fiddly style of prog, but I'm addicted to this band too.

Most of the stuff I listen to is related to prog in some way.
