That would be folk-prog (at the moment). I love listening to Jethro Tull and The Strawbs' Hero And Heroine.

By the way, this poll has already been held on the progarchives website! Check out www.progarchives.com ! > Old polls resuts

Those bands are all considered Symphonic.

Other bands you may want to check out from the same vein are: Syzygy, Glass Hammer and Zen Rock and Roll (Progrock Records).

Cheers for that Danbo. I have voted now. I have listened to a few Glass hammer sound clips....I havent found any Syzygy sound clips but I will check them out if I get the chance. I bought The Tangent...The Music That Died Alone a few days ago, that is a pretty good album as well.

Wow thats cool. I have just become a Groupie with this post.

Starship,

Try http://www.syzygymusic.com/Bios/History.htm

The site has some MP3's. I suggest M.O.T.H.

If you like Spock's Beard and Yes and ELP, it's for you.

Anders, you forgot some subgenres : ambient (Eno for instance), electronic (aka New Age, i.e. names such as Mike Oldfield, Tangerine Dream, Synergy...), RIO (Henry Cow, 5UU's, Miriodor...), jazz-fusion (Bruford, Brand X, Zappa, Kenso...), pomp prog (Magnum, Asia...), hard prog (King Crimson, VDGG).

This is the great thing about prog. You take other genres. Let's say reagge, for example. You really don't have much choice. But in prog there's a lot of different approaches to music. You don't even have to like all the aspects of prog.

Most of proggers come from different genres looking for something more. So this is a meta-genre, don't you think?

I wouldn't say Oldfield is electronic. Most of his classic records feature lots of acoustic instruments.  He is more a genre in himself

I think that this is very true, prog. music has so many aspects, such
a big room to play in that curious music-lovers in general allways
will finding something. Yes, we are very very lucky indeed those of
us that has found all this great music through the years

I'll have to go with symphonic.

I enjoy a bit of canterbury and krautrock, but I'm afraid the majority of my favourite bands fall under the symphonic heading.

Can you name some of the so called symphonic bands,...unfortunately I'm more familiar with the ambiant, jazz & Kraut sides of prog rock.

Do you mean sloppy music made by the infamous Symphony X and others...however, I remember that some italian prog used symphonic sh*t strings...is that what you are refering?

Salut Philippe, en tant que français je te réponds dans ta langue maternelle. Le prog symphonique englobe des groupes tels que Genesis, Yes, Gentle Giant, Camel, Locanda delle fate, Le Orme, Quella Vecchia Locanda... bref les monstres sacrés anglais et italiens des 70's plus des groupes plus récents comme Anglagard (entièrement instrumental), The Flower Kings, Spock's Beard. Ca n'a rien à voir avec les groupe neo-classiques à la Malmsteen : Stratovarius, Angra et compagnie.
