I voted for acid folk in the likes of Mark Fry, Nick Drake, early Joni Mitchell (aka, Song to a Seagull), Trader Horne, Kate Beth, Magna Carta, Tudor Lodge, Bread/Love and Dreams (not to be confused by the slow rock band Bread), Roger Rodier, Montreal (Summer's night), etc....
 
On some days, I much prefer the acid folk stuff to the progressive stuff.   Equally as good to my ears (and sometimes even better) in just about every aspect.

Classic rock, especially southern rock. Just another vibrant, amazing musical scene that I was born thirty years too late for.

Prog rock is my favorite "genre" next to classical music, and jazz is my favorite genre next to prog rock.

Whenever I hear the words acid or psychedelic, my ears prick upward Tongue.. ...But I'm unaware of what is meant by those genres.....Who is acid folk and who are psychedelic proto prog?

I love acid folk too. Do you think Mark Fry should be added to the archives? I've suggested it but nothing has come of it so far. I've also suggested C.O.B. which I love mostly for moyshe mcstiff.

I haven't heard (of) most of the bands you listed. Can you give me ome recommendations for starting albums?

Some acid folk albums I very highly reccomend:
COB: Moyshe mcstiff...
Synanthesia: Synanthesia
Jan Dukes de grey: Mice and Rats in the Loft (and sorcerers)
Broselmaschine: Broselmashine
Trees: The Garden of Jane Delawney
Spirogyra: St. Radigunds, (and Bells Boots and Shambles)
Comus: First Utterance

Other good ones:
Emtidi: Saat
Subway: Subway
Ho(e)lderlin: Holderlin's traum
Ithaca: A Game for All Who Know

I prefer so-called classical music to prog, but I could never live without the latter, or without jazz.

Hard/classic rock for me, which is the bedrock of prog.  The Animals, Fleetwood Mac (Peter Green-era), Spooky Tooth, The Band, Cream, Hendrix, The Byrds, The Who, The Yardbirds, and a whole slew of others paved the way for prog.

I don't have favourite genres.

Punk, reggae, world, pop, classical, jazz, psych-rock, folk, disgusting 80s AOR, post-punk... all good. I just know a bit more about prog than the others

But just today, I'll say Reggae

Definitely classic/hard rock for me, followed by classic heavy metal and folk (or perhaps I'd better call it 'world music').

Elecctronica.

Give me a nice beat by Sasha, The Crystal Method, The Chemical Brothers, Juno Reactor, Underworld or Fluke and I'm somewhat content.

Used to listen to Electronica for years before I rediscovered Prog.

After prog its a pretty much equal balance of acid folk, hip-hop, jazz, classical (mainly contemporary stuff), and psychedelic proto prog. Put my vote down for hip-hop cause it'll probably be pretty stagnant here Tongue.
