Hi,
 
I cast for "other" ... because the minute I label what I listen to, I'm no longer hearing it.
 
Just remember that a Bass Guitar can be played by a lot of different folks around the world ... and it will never sound the same ... even with the same amp and settings!
 
It's not about the genre ... it's about the music!
 
Stop labelling it please!

Other prog. That's my favorite genre besides prog. Seriously, I don't listen to anything else. But that's b/c prog is not a genre, but an attitude towards creating/enjoying music.

ErmmThe poll seems to assume that prog must be everyone's favourite form of music here (I won't say "genre," as prog is not a single genre), but this is not the case with me, at least.
 
I am a rock fan, first and foremost (I tend to lump prog -- about 10 -15% of my "rock" collection -- in there), and my next largest collection would be traditional/Celtic -- ie, folk music, followed by jazz fusion (which I generally don't consider "prog" -- my working definition of "prog" being a fairly narrow one, more along the lines of classic and/or "symphonic" prog here.
 
I tend to work with very broad, more inclusive genres. I recently re-classified a ton of music on my I-pod, eliminating supposed genres like "alternative and punk" altogether (now just "rock."). I even called my blues CDs "rock," as, to my ears, John Lee Hooker fits in well with Led Zeppelin, for example, when I put "rock" on random shuffle.

I'm more of a metalhead than a proghead, so this was an easy one for me.

It's not assuming anything, it's just asking.
And it's "next to prog" not "just behind prog".

Stern Smile Hughes, I am more than a bit familiar with the nuances of the English language, and when English-speakers say "next to" in the manner and context in which it was used here, it generally means "secondary to," as in "next in order of preference."
 
idiom:
next to
1. Adjacent to: the car next to hers.
2. Following in order or degree: Next to skiing, she likes hiking.
3. Almost; practically: next to impossible.
 
If the poll was asking something like "what music do you like just as much as prog" or "equally well" then it should have said that. I believe that the vast majority of respondents interpreted the question just as i did, because that is just what such a question means.
 
You are not the poll's author, so why do you feel qualified, let alone compelled, to "correct" me on my comprehension of the question?Confused

Where's the fun in that? I think it's obvious that my "guesses" were pure whimsy, and not serious attempts to decode the initials.
 
The signature version of his name was written all as one word, with the "of" not even capitalized -- not that easy to notice and comprehend at a glance, and again, I was just trying to amuse.Smile

On some days, I much prefer the acid folk stuff to the progressive stuff.   Equally as good to my ears (and sometimes even better) in just about every aspect.  


I love acid folk too. Do you think Mark Fry should be added to the archives? I've suggested it but nothing has come of it so far. I've also suggested C.O.B. which I love mostly for moyshe mcstiff.

I haven't heard (of) most of the bands you listed. Can you give me ome recommendations for starting albums?

Some acid folk albums I very highly reccomend:
COB: Moyshe mcstiff...
Synanthesia: Synanthesia
Jan Dukes de grey: Mice and Rats in the Loft (and sorcerers)
Broselmaschine: Broselmashine
Trees: The Garden of Jane Delawney
Spirogyra: St. Radigunds, (and Bells Boots and Shambles)
Comus: First Utterance

Other good ones:
Emtidi: Saat
Subway: Subway
Ho(e)lderlin: Holderlin's traum
Ithaca: A Game for All Who Know



those are good recommendations.  I don't know Subway so I need to check them out.   Ithaca's earlier group was excellent too.   "The Sun also rises" is a great album too.   "Bread/Love and Dreams" released 3 outstanding albums and may be one of the best in the genre.   Still looking for a better track  than the 20+ minute "Amaryllis"  Clap      Amaryllis is everybit as progressive (if not more) than many of the albums I see featured on PA.  

http://www.amazon.com/Acid-Folk-Holy-Grails/lm/3JPD8YYY9A5LX

has some other recommendations.

The song "Infinity" on Montreal's Summer Night sends chills up/down the spine  :-)   Confused

Harry, like getting involved in a land war in Asia, going against Peter or Ivan in a pedantic argument is a classic blunder. ;-)
 
I also agree with him in this case.

I´m surprised, where´s the more prog category?LOL
I´d go with heavy metal although I began in rock
music with hard rock
The water rushes over all
cities crash in the mighty wave;
the final man is very small,
plunging in for his final bathe
