Well, I started listening to Aural Moon simply because it listed Genesis as one of the bands that they played. Listing Kansas and Yes gave me the idea that this station would have music that I would like to listen to. Progressive rock has many different styles, some hard, some strange, and some that is light and "airy" (or mystical).
This station carries music that is quite similar to the bands that I've listed above. So not only did I want to hear my favs (Genesis), but I also wanted to hear songs that similar to their style. I can see the argument for not hearing your fav's all the time, but for me, bringing in my entire tape collection to work is not practical.
I do have to compliment AM with their work. They have built a fabulous station. There will be an occasional group that I wouldn't care to listen to, but usually I tough it out hoping that something better comes along the way.
I guess to answer your question, I like to listen to my fav's and new music. That is the appeal of this station. I'm interpretting your comments to be that Yes and Genesis are over-requested/over-played. Well, this can be easily fixed. One of two things could happen (or both):
a) Request songs/groups that you've never heard of (this happens a lot). I've done this a few times, and have been pleased with some of my selections. Although, most of the time I forget what I've requested.
b) The station could disallow requests for an amount of time. The random song generator would be able to select songs without people's input. This could be done for a few hours each day, or for a few hours on select days.
Either way, I'm happy. In fact, I'm happy with the way things are now. Just my 2 cents.
