There are so many bands to explore in RPI, but it won't be effective to
list all my favorites so I will just name a few if your interested. The
must have by my taste are:
Cervello Biglietto Per L'inferno Locanda Delle Fate Osanna - Palepoli Picchio Dal Pozzo Semiramis Reale Accademia Di Musica

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.
Will do!
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've actually listened to the teapot trilogy. Good stuff. And I actually couldn't get in to Zeuhl until I listened to Magma and Dun, oddly enough. Who needs accessibility?

Or you could just start with PFM and go from there.

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.
Just finished listening; loved it. It reminds me of something I would hear on 88.1 KDHX, my local independent radio station. Raw, immediate, and idiosyncratic. I liked it more than Can, actually.

... and while their other notable albums are of somewhat different character, you might want to give those a listen too.

While most would probably disagree with me, I think Banco is a better introduction to RPI than PFM or Orme. They just have a pinch more of that saucy Italian vibe . And better vocals.

The most popular groups in a sub are not always the 'best' to start off with. PFM is the most popular RPI group and Sigur Ros is the most popular Post Rock group, but while I like both RPI and Post Rock I never cared for those two groups.

Agreed. Francesco Di Giacomo has a fantastic voice. Have some opera with pompous music.

Never listened to any prog electronic or krautrock, and only a tiny bit of avant/RIO. Most of it just grates on my ears.I've recently decided to explore zheul. Magma isn't really doing it for me, though. Are there any other bands in the genre I should try before calling it quits?
