Prog Genre

   For me, it's symphonic, mostly because some of my favourite prog bands
(Yes, Camel, Focus et al) are from that genre. I do like Art Rock a lot
too though.

	Symphonic all the way, baby!! Prog Metal kind of rules, though. Maybe you guys could describe my taste for me: All Rush early Yes (through Relayer) Pink Floyd (DSOTM thru The Wall) BSS era ELP Red era King Crimson Edited by Crimson Prince

	I would have to say Symphonic... but something from each genre has won a place in my heart. Folk Prog Comus's First Utterance Aphrodite's Child's 666 Gryphon's Red Queen to Gryphon Three Italian Prog PFM's first three albums Museo Rosenbach's Zarathustra Banco's Darwin and Io Sono Nato Libero Quella Vecchia Locanda's two album Krautrock Can's Tago Mago Popol Vuh's Einsjager and Siebenjager Grobschnitt's first five albums Faust's self titled Rock-In-Opposition *some people seem to be under a misconception of what RIO really is, and although it was more of a "movement" then a subgenre... Samlas Mammas Manna's Klossa Knaptitet Henry Cow's Legend Univers Zero's Heresie Space Rock Nektar's Remember the Future Island's Pictures Algarnas Tradgard's first album Canterbury Caravan's In the Land of Grey and Pink Camel's The Snow Goose National Health's Of Queues and Cures

	i voted neo-prog as that is just awesome but it is closely followed by prog metal! Pendragon and Dream Theater are amazing IQ and conception are excellant

	I think everybody has posted most of what I like in each of the sub genres. Henry Cow is a recent discovery for me however and a total delight I must say.
