So, which one is your favourite genre?

Do you have more than one favourite genre?

Do you hate all these categorisations?

I actually have three favourite genres:

1.) Art Rock
2.) Symphonic Prog
3.) Retro Prog

I also like Jazz Rock/Fusion, Post Rock/Experimental, Psychedelic/Space Rock, Krautrock and a bit Progressive Metal, Prog Folk and very few Zeuhl stuff...

I am asking myself right at this moment, if it is good that "Prog Related" is on the list because I don't really think it is a genre, it is non-prog music with some prog elements...

Has to be Fusion, followed closely by Krautrock and Prog Metal. Symphonic and the like  can get a bit dry after a few consecutive albums (to me).

RIO/Avant. THe most challenging, beautiful and harmonic music ever.
 
Art rock second, due to its broadness. Then symphonic.

I really don't care about genres so I don't have a favourite one. Bands(and their music of course) are much more important.

I don't really have one. I go from neo, to symph, to art, to metal (well, DT only), to space.

i think categorizing music... (and more if its like this) just make the bands inspired in one style and say "well my band's gonna be symphonic" for example, and be just like other bands that are symphonic... so where's the creative element of music??

sorry for my english and my english redaction

Art Rock for me. I also like Zeuhl and RIO/Avant a lot, and of course some of the classics of Symphonic Prog.

Prog folk is my favourite - more of my favourite bands are in this genre than any other, though symphonic comes a very close second.

Prog folk is home to Strawbs, Fairport, Gryphon, Mostly Autumn, Horslips, Iona and many other great bands. Sadly, too many on this site ignore them or assume Jethro Tull are the only prog folk band (very little of what they do is actually prog folk). I also think Gentle Giant are nearer folk prog than anything else.

Be brave - give them a try!

Symphonic with Canterbury and Art Rock close behind.

I love Gentle Giant, I have all the 11 original albums and many other CD which were released later, but I never had the idea that they would be prog folk.

Sometimes they have prog folk elements, yes, like in "Wreck", "The Advent Of Panurge", "Raconteur, Troubadour", "A Reunion" or "Talybont", but that doesn't make them a prog folk-band, in my opinion. But the points of contact to that genre really do exist, no doubt.

So hard to choose. I'm normally not a big fan of genre divisions, but if I had to choose particular genres I think I'd do this order.
 
1. Post Rock
2. Space Rock
3. Symphonic
4. Prog Metal
5. Italian
6. Prog Folk
7. Neo

I disagree. Genres are very important.
