Hi,
Some people just never quit, or even read anything on this board. How sad. Treating all this like top ten! Exactly what the music that we love is not at all, and doesn't want to be!
With that said:
No favorite bands since all the music is good, and I love music, not prog!
No Prog Sub-Genres or Types since these are not even close to what most artists are about, and tends to limit what any artist is capable of doing. So Vincent Price is only a horror actor and an idiot as a serious actor, just because that's all you can accept? How would you feel if you were him? Or Christopher Lee?
No Favorite Non-Prog Genres since music is music, and saying that eastern music is worse than rock'n'roll or Eric Clapton is so ethnocentric that you would get a failing grade in school.
No Favorite Decades in Music since there has always been music in the history of mankind. But I am not sure that you can appreciate a lot of it.
I'm of the opinion that those kinds of questions are not serious enough for you to discuss "music"! That simple! But if you want to write a book on the socio-economic bs of these for your dissertation go ahead. Hint .. you might only be able to do this in Berkeley! Because too much of the stuff that you wish to honor is not even considered, and I'm not sure that you have any idea as to why that is so!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Favourite Three Bands: Queen, Jethro Tull, Rush
Favourite Prog Sub-Genres: Eclectic Prog, RIO/Avant Prog, Progressive Electronic
Favourite Non-Prog Genres: Experimental/industrial/ambient/noise, 50's Lounge/exotica, 30's Jazz/Vocal
Favourite Decades in Music: 70's, 50's, 30's.
This was extremely tough. I love a lot of music from the 60's (Beach Boys, Zombies, Kinks) and the 80's (Oingo Boingo, B-52's) and I also love classical music, so picking three of each was a real challenge.

I'm always changing my mind so what I wrote was an avarage of my mood swings. Sometimes I like Jazz fussion above all and hate prog metal. Also i'm really getting into american folk music a lot lately so who knows? maybe I'll be in a country music forum in a few months

it would be hard for me to name 3 favorite bands; there are so many I like. I will pick 3 for now, but it is totally possible, nay almost sure,I will pick 3 others tomorrow: Hawkwind, Gong, Magma. or shall I pick Embryo, Can and VdGG? and what about King Crimson, Amon Düül 2 and the Residents? nay, impossible task.
favorite musical decade? absolutely unanswerable, unless it means favorite decade of prog; then I'll go with 70s, 60s, 00s.
favorite three sub-genres: Krautrock, space-rock, the third is a battle between RIO, jazz-rock, Zeuhl and the in my opinion either misnamed or misused category folk prog (I'd be more happy with "ethnic prog" as sub category).
as to favorite non-prog genres: jazz, classical music (another misnomer; there are so many different styles which are sub-summarized under this category; baroque music has nothing at all to do with music of the impressionists, for example), Indian music

while i admire your high minded idealism i must beg the question: how much baroque, romanticist, swahili, mongolian, hindu, rockabilly, blugrass, shoegaze, polka, and serialism music are you actually aquainted with? and how can you claim to enjoy all music?
this site is dedicated to one genre of music so discuss that genre, and allow yourself and others to have favorites, just know that this is human tendancy to do so and says nothing as to what is good or bad or better... just favorite
I think this idea is interesting, for me
Pink Floyd, GY!BE, Decemberists
Math/Post, Avant, Kraut
Folk, Jazz, Indie
90s, 60s, 70s

OK lets try:
Bands/artists: Genesis, Gentle Giant, Thinking Plague
I'm adding non-prog bands/artist: Chick Corea, Kaveret (Israeli poprock band from the 70's), Beatles
Prog Sub-geners: old symphonic, eclectic, RIO
Non prog geners: Contemporary classical music, 90-s electronics, some Israelis acts (not exactly sub genere but nontheless)
(unless you call it 'art rock Israeli movement' which contain Gronich, Caspi, Shem-tov Levi etc etc)
Dacades: 70's, 00's, 90's
another term to say that: every dacade as long it's not the 80's

That includes you, enough with the lecturing on how we can and can not express our tastes in music.
