Indo prog (that seems to be the most popular answer)
Tech/Extreme metal

Those are two I doubt I will ever really explore, but who knows, maybe one of these days I'll get on a death metal kick. 

Just really starting to explore RIO and post rock. 

Have a wide variety of:
Symph, Eclectic, Heavy, Prog Metal, Neo, Zeuhl, Canterbury and RPI

Don't know a lot about Electronic and Krautrock, but I want to explore them. The other genres... they're just not for me.

No, I'm just not terribly familiar with their music.  Can is one band that I do know; I like them, and plan to explore more of their catalog.  I'm sure I'll get around to listening to more Krautrock some day.

Amon Duul II's Yeti is a good entry point.

... for a person who enjoys rock music. If you like Magma and VdGG, get-[with the echo effect]-get-get-get-get Faust's s/t debut. Liking some ambient? Check out TD's Phaedra.

I'm not a huge advocate or fan of Neo-Prog, but IQ is one band that i actually like.

I'm really surprised at the number of people who haven't check out RPI. It's such a phenomenal subgenre.

Indo Prog
Krautrock
Zeuhl
Progressive Electronic

A friend of mine tried getting me into Magma for Zeuhl, but it just didn't really click with me. I should probably try again. As for the other three, I just haven't had a starting/reference point.
I consider drone metal to be progressive...

My thoughts exactly Andy. People who already likes Symphonic can't go wrong  with RPI, especially with the  classic stuff!
I explored pretty much every genre just to know what I don't like, and that is:
 
Prog Electronic (sorry, but too boring)
Post Rock (again boring)
Neo Prog (not entirely though, I like a few bands)
And most of the post 2000 metal stuff seems too sterile and corny for me, though there are stuff I really like.

QFT.

Subgenres I'm very limited with are:
- Experimental/Post-Metal
- Heavy Prog
- Indo-Prog/Raga Rock
- Krautrock
- Neo-Prog
- Prog Folk
- Progressive Electronic
- Progressive Metal
- Psychedelic/Space Rock
- RPI

 


Prog-folk is amazing. I recommend ignoring Tull for a bit and checking out Comus (First Utterance), Jan Dukes de Grey (Mice and Rats in the Loft), and Strawbs (Ghosts and Grave New World).

I've tried Comus and remember thinking that they were alright and worth another listen. The other two I haven't listened to and shall investigate. Smile

And if you wanna try out some more Canterbury, I recommend both of Hatfield And The North's two albums, Egg - The Polite Force, and any of the well-regarded albums by Caravan.

Indo/Raga is the only sub I havent listened to anything from. There are a few others that I'm not particularly well versed in, mainly Zeul, Post/Math- Rock, Krautrock, and Electronic. With the first two I havent found much I care aout so far but may do at some point, the other two I really dont care for.


Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

excellent suggestion. I would add also the GONG's flying teapot trilogy.  

For Zeuhl I suggest starting with Xing Sa, Eskaton, Setna, Eider Stallaire and Universal Totem Orchestra which are probably the easiest to approach, before getting on Magma, Shun-Niggurath and so on.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

I have really researched most of the genres here, but with RPI I feel I need a tour guide, such a staggering amount of little known bands..it is almost like a all-in or nothing thing with RPI :P

my small humble list, now I am a bit of a completest so bands I do list I have all the albums or most of them: Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, Delerium, Festa Mobile, I Quelli, Jacula, Le Orme, L'Uovo di Colombo, PFM, Goblin, Balletto DiBronzo, Area, Maxophone, Osanna, Museo Rosenbach ..

ones I have properly labeled anyway I know I have more of the newer RPI albums released in the last few years too..
