Because of tuning in to AM, Anglagard has become one of my favorites.
I moved to Milwaukee about two years ago, and it turns out there is a fairly good sized prog community here. (In the past year or so: Tony Levin, Flower Kings, Yes, KC, California Guitar Trio, Par Lindh, Savoy Brown, Dream Theater, Satriani,... all within walking distance.)
There is also a good record shop. I went in to buy Anglagard's Hybris, and the guy asked if I was at the impromptu Anglagard jam. Apparently, the guys were in town one weekend (but not to play) and someone convinced them to play anyway. Wish I'd been there.
Even though there is a lot happening here, AM is still the place to check out new prog. The local prog over the air is limited to one show on Sunday nights through WMSE (student radio).
