Indo/Raga is the only sub I havent listened to anything from. There are a few others that I'm not particularly well versed in, mainly Zeul, Post/Math- Rock, Krautrock, and Electronic. With the first two I havent found much I care aout so far but may do at some point, the other two I really dont care for.

Subgenres I'm very limited with are:
- Experimental/Post-Metal
- Heavy Prog
- Indo-Prog/Raga Rock
- Krautrock
- Neo-Prog
- Prog Folk
- Progressive Electronic
- Progressive Metal
- Psychedelic/Space Rock
- RPI
Prog-folk is amazing. I recommend ignoring Tull for a bit and checking out Comus (First Utterance), Jan Dukes de Grey (Mice and Rats in the Loft), and Strawbs (Ghosts and Grave New World).
I've tried Comus and remember thinking that they were alright and worth another listen. The other two I haven't listened to and shall investigate.
And if you wanna try out some more Canterbury, I recommend both of Hatfield And The North's two albums, Egg - The Polite Force, and any of the well-regarded albums by Caravan.

Indo Prog
Krautrock
Zeuhl
Progressive Electronic
A friend of mine tried getting me into Magma for Zeuhl, but it just didn't really click with me. I should probably try again. As for the other three, I just haven't had a starting/reference point.

No, I'm just not terribly familiar with their music. Can is one band that I do know; I like them, and plan to explore more of their catalog. I'm sure I'll get around to listening to more Krautrock some day.
Amon Duul II's Yeti is a good entry point.

I like rock music.
So does AH, I think.
What are you talking about? Rock music is of the devil.

As far as Indo-Prog goes, I've only listened to Shakti (who are amazing by the way). I've only recently started to explore Zeuhl and its already turning out to be one of my favorite prog subgenres. I plan to have a few Magma albums this Christmas. Avant-prog/RIO is another one I've only recently gotten into.
I guess I haven't explored prog electronic as much as I should. And I did somewhat explore neo-prog a long time ago (and hated it), but my appreciation of music has changed so much from that point that I might as well not have. All I remember from it anyway is synth pads, slightly overproduced guitars, and lots of sentimentality. But, who knows, that may be what I like about it if I give it a good listen.
