I have a really hard problem narrowing prog music down like that. Much easier if you haven't explored too much. Easiest being the decades the hardest picking favorites (I mean if you had more than three kids, would you be able to do it?). As long as this isn't an essay question, I will answer.  - Favorite Three Bands (Univers Zero, Big Big Train, Umprhee's McGee) (going with latest discoveries, why the hell not?)
- Favorite Prog Sub-Genres or Types (Crossover, Jazz/Rock, Avant)
- Favorite Non-Prog Genres (Jazz, Classical, Stuff that should be here but isn't officially classified as prog here yet
 ) - Favorite Decades in Music (70's, 90's 00's) (The '80's aren't as bad as many would say, but definitely a low point for prog.)

I couldn't do this, I listen to too much variety.

Favorite Three Bands: Steely Dan, King Crimson, Gentle Giant (since Steely Dan are on this site, but if you want something more progressive, you can substitute them for Caravan or even Jethro Tull)
Favorite Prog Subgenres: I'm not sure how to classify most of these, but it seems to be prog/folk a la Jethro Tull and Renaissance, the kind of heavy, personality-deprived stuff King Crimson or Pink Floyd do, and then, I suppose, jazz-flavored prog: Caravan, Santana, and so on.
Favorite Non-prog genres: Again, I'm always hard-pressed to say what type of music I like because as soon as I say I like jazz somebody will want to tell me about some hideous Ornette Coleman album or something. But, I'll say my favorite non-prog genres are hard rock (like Mountain, Blue Oyster Cult, etc.), jazz, and country/folk.
Favorite Decades: The 60s, the 70s, and then 90s. Skip the 80s entirely, they were horrible. At least the 90s gave us Ween and Primus.
