Next to prog. Hmm hard one! My top 5 at the moment will go like this: 1. Prog (I’m still not sure it's a genre or not, 2. Hard rock/Metal (like Yde, I like old school metal best, heavy, thrash, doom, speed, etc. Lots of pre 90's metal/hard rock used lots of prog elements in imo, I think it's why I like it so much. 3. Jazz (normally a very interesting genre that does not follow the "normal rule/pattern" of mainstream songs. It's also very different from song to song. Great rhythms 8/7, 5/4 etc. 4. Classical (is like symphonic prog - prog = symphonic)
5. Psychedelic proto prog (what to say, lots of good music) |

Actually my fave genre is Metal - Old School Metal. Both heavy, speed, thrash, doom, prog, black, death as long as it's old school or has old school related sound or things like that.
Then prog is my 2nd fave genre... and then hard/classic rock (Ac/Dc, Deep Purple, Led Zep, Rainbow etc etc) |

Jazz probably then classical, but there's always the stuff that isn't officially prog here but is prog to me, which I'd put in front of J and C.

I´m surprised, where´s the more prog category?
I´d go with heavy metal although I began in rock
music with hard rock

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.

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"  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 :-)  |

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.

 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?

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

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

 The 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.

Next to prog, your favorite genre?
Topic Options
but well, I don't care what genre a song is categorized as, if I like it then its good (I happen to like lots of songs from this genre)). Prog is more human than mainstream music imo, and is often good to greate pictures/emotions in peoples mind (nothing wrong with mainstream music, we just got too much of it!).
