Well, I vote for New Age but World Music and Experimental/Contemporary also received some spices from Prog.

I don't think many genres are influenced by prog-rock, as prog-rock is influenced by the best aspects of all genres prior to prog-rock.

King Crimson was the first band to play metal I believe.

In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises

Metal.  There is no expansive subgenre called Prog-R&B, Prog-Country or Prog-Techno.

Then that means that yu haven't heard Hidria Spacefolk.  prog techno and reggae...
I knoe it sounds wierd but It's perfectly blended with psych prog and folk instrumentations... (this sounds even more wierd ) Hightly recommended even if you don't like the genres said above.

New Age was definatly influenced by prog. But Metal was probably more so. I mean King Crimson is really on eof the founders of that genre and many modern gothic metal bands have a very expansive, proglike "scope" to their music. And dont forget 3 very famous metal bands: Iron Maiden, Led Zepplin, and Yngwie Malmsteen all had prog elements to varying degrees.

EDIT: I forgot that Metallica`s early stuff has rather complex composition structures showing they had been listening to some prog. So does alot of death metal though Im think many death bands got that more from "complex" metal bands like Metallica instead of straight from prog

If anyone knows where I can get a copy of some Flute and Voice (Indo-Prog/Raga Rock) albums please PM me! Many thanks!

huh???

I've never understood the connection some people put with King Crimson and metal.  Someone mind educating me on this.  Prog may have saved metal from extinction after it became a parody of itself and grunge finally put a daggar in it's heart in the early 90's   but King Crimson... someone explain that to me please.  The King Crimson I've been listening to for years was more avant-garde... progressive than... meer metal.

I believe Goth Rock is the most influenced genre by Prog Rock, after early Symphonic and Folk Prog bands proved that it was not impossible to blend Baroque and Celtic with Rock, Goth bands used late Medieval (Gothic) influences in their music and in some cases with a postrock edge like in the cases of Dead Can Dance or Miranda Sex Garden.

To the point that in some cases it's almost impossible to discriminate one genre from the other, because the points were they encounter are so many that create a new form of fusion (in a broad sense).

Modern metal and new age have certainly been heavily influenced by
prog, but then so was a lot of new wave and post-punk (notably THE
STRANGLERS, PiL and POISONGIRLS). The first SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES
album from 1978, "The Scream", for instance opens with a track whose
sole function was "to set the album's key signature" and closed with a
track entitled "Switch" that is pure progressive in both its musical
developments and lyrics ("Doctor rectorates, condescending from on
high..." - sounds like something Ian Anderson would have written five
years previously).

mmm interesting...I kinda agree with you, because two of the fathers of metal, Sabbath and Purple where also considered prog in some ways or some songs...and what would be of metal without the suites of Maiden, or the long and well played songs from early Metallica? All thouse where influenced by prog!!!

Metal would go without the prog influence just "right", it's only that it would be much more primitive, raw and ugly. If prog didn't exist, I wouldn't be listening to Metal either: all the stereotypes about it would be true.

However, Prog influenced Progmetal, which is the most popular kind of prog these days. Now speaking of Progmetal, the influence of general Prog was crucial here.
