I recently acquired my first Indo-Raga Prog album... Shakti's "Natural Elements", hightly recommended!
Ok. Your on. But if I don't like it, I am holding you completely responsible.

I am missing 3: Indo/Raga, Italian Prog, and Zeuhl.  I have a handful of Cantebury, an Amon Duul album for Krautrock, and a couple of Univers Zero albums in the RIO/Avant category; so I barely have anything in these 3 categories.
 
My biggest categories are Prog-related, the former Art Rock subgenres, Prog Metal, and Neo-Prog.

Scanning through the Various: Concepts, Samplers and Tributes lists I am embarrassed to say that I have enough of them to make me think of volunteering for the Various: Concepts, Samplers and Tributes Team Embarrassed

Now that I thunk about it, the only 'Various' that are listed on PA in my collection are from free (legal!) downloads and not complete albums.  I have a couple 'Various' like 'Nativity in Black'.

Looking at what I have, it covers all the "genres" and "tags" here in PA.
So if I were to be added to the PA database, I would probably be categorized as Eclectic...

I actually think I've got something from all of them, even though of course I've got more material from my favourite subgenres. I am curious by nature, so I'll try anything at least once (no, not in THAT senseLOL...) - however, like everybody else, I have my own preferences.

Don't know. I guess I'm missing some subgenres.

Wasn't sure whether to put this here or in the prog discussion polls. This seemed like the safest bet.
 
As I have stated before, I think there are too many sub-genres. Just my opinion, I'm not here to belabor the point. But one good thing I found about having sub-genres was it presented a way for me to approach writing reviews so I wasn't just reviewing all of my favorites and putting 5 stars across the board.  I discovered that of all the subs, I had all but:
 
Krautrock
Experimental
Raga-Rock (that term cracks me up)
 
Originally I was just going to ask how many of you had them all, then I thought it would make a good poll.
 
Edit: ack! I hit enter and posted the poll before I was done!
