Alucard and I need to get our titles changed to Canterbury specialists as well, since we're the only two who feel they are up for the job (at least so far....none of the other collabs have volunteered yet).

I would have thought your specialty was Asia.



Nein, even German electronic and the Residents above Asia.

I'm more of a Zappa specialist as opposed to an Art/Neo specialist.



A Zappa and Belew specialist.

Maybe that should be my new surname as a Special Collab... I'll look into it.

I dabble in just about all the sub-genres but my interests lie mainly in Symphonic Prog, Psychedelic/Space and Prog Metal. Though I am very much into Jethro Tull, I can not in all honesty add Prog Folk to my strengths.

Symphonic followed by Italian and Folk.  I also like Moody Blues (Proto), Floyd & Hawkwind (Psychedelic/Space).

But I'd like be me more into the Jazz/Rock Fusion sub-genre.

I'd probably either have to say Art Rock or Neo Prog...

Prog Metal, hopefully I'll have a little message that says so beneath my avatar to acknowledge that sometime soon.

I haven't given any Zeuhl a proper listen yet, but it's on the list... "pretty much anything weird and psychedelic" more or less encompasses my tastes as well.

I really really like post-rock but I'd still wouldn't consider myself a specialist since I started hearing the genre in october or september and there are still a hell freaking alot of bands that I haven't even touched yet...

and a little recomendation of a wanna be to be post-rock specialist...  try out Tone - Solidarity  for post-rockers and prog metal-ers too

I don't really specialize in a certain subgenre, but I have been listening to post-rock longer than much of the prog I listen to now, and it doesn't seem to be quite as popular around here as symphonic and prog metal, so I suppose I could be somewhat specializing in post-rock. Furthermore, the other subgenres that I am heavily into have tremendous depth, and I really don't know a lot of those bands (at least not yet). So I guess if it was any one of these it would be post-rock/experimental.
