I´m expecting, judding by frequency of reviews, posts etc., domination of one unnamed subgenre (due to possible bias). Though I´m curious for other results.
Notice for soreheads: Zeuhl isn´t French national subgenre but Kobaďan artificial one, incidentally made in France. ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath! Na-chaered palan-díriel o galadhremmin ennorath, Fanuilos, le linnathon nef aear, sí nef aearon! |

RPI for me, though Canterbury is very close. Krautrock is very hit-or-miss and I dont know any Indo/Raga. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

| LOL, Canterbury isn't a "national" style, and neither is Indo/Raga (which is mostly comprised of musicians around the world playing in "Indian" style). |

I was going to say that Canterbury isn't a nation. But we know it's just for poll purposes. Funnily no Zeuhl here. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

Not all Canterbury artists are British. Not all Krautrock groups are German. Not all Zeuhl is French. The overwhelming majority of Indo-Prog is not from India.
Everybody knows RPI will win this.

I only know the Canterbury Scene very well, the rest I've heard some classics but not beyond that. However, that may just say my preference hehe, I do prefer the Canterbury Scene. |

| Canterbury is my favorite genre out of all genres so it will of course get my vote, and I for one count Canterbury as a national genre, it was created in England and most of the original bands are English (Gong is one exception). But Zeuhl would've suited better in this poll than Indo. |

Canterbury is not a nation, but it is contained in one; therefore, the scene is confined to one nation (barring a few strange outliers); ergo, a national subgenre, which is what I think the topic creator meant and is by no means a faulty interpretation of the term,"national sub-genre," so no need to get snippy. |

Yes, that's true: not all Zeuhl is French. Only 90% of the bands. |

For all recent and following soreheads: I´ve used commas around the word "National" in the title and added the notice about Zeuhl in my first post. Maybe it´ll be better. ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath!

RPI is really the only genre I've had an intense immersion into, although Indo/Raga is an extremely interesting and enjoyable genre. ------------- http://ow.ly/8ymqg" rel="nofollow">

"A whole bunch"? Yes, it's true there are many bands: Ruins, Koenjihyakkei, Bondage Fruit and a few others... But not only these bands have started in the late 80's or the early 90's, they also are less numerous than the French bands or even the French musicians who were influenced by or played in Magma: Zao, Weidorje, Jannick Top (in solo), Potemkine, Eskaton, Dün, Altaďs, Shub-Niggurath, Troll, Neom, Setna... I won't list them all, there's a page about Zeuhl on PA. I will never deny the importance of the Japanese scene, but I still think it doesn't really compete with the French scene if you're talking about the amount of bands. |

From this list I'll go with Canterbury, although for me there's only a gnat's whisker between it and Krautrock. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |
