I agree Progarchives are great, but a lot of the stuff they push is unknown to me, and would not be in my choices for prog rock (Miles Davis?) great as they may be. Also they focus on a lot of Italian prog rock, much of which is I think hard to get in the first place, and may be a little too heavy for someone who has just discovered Genesis....
