I just want to see if there's anybody here who likes prog but does not have prog rock as their favorite sub-genre.

progressive psychedelic classics are my favorite

Will you still know who you are
When you come to who you are

When the flames have their season
Will you hold to your reason
Loaded down with your talents
Can you still keep your balance
Can you live on a knife-edge

you forgot "post-rock" , or is it included in post-punk? If it is, you can't put it in the same category as normal punk, since it is totally different,

also: isn't psychedelic prog as well? i always though Pink Floyd would be psychedelic .....

Sorry, i don't wanna complain, I'm just not an expert on music genres.

PS: I voted for prog of course

I'm not sure about that ... I think it's kinda interesting too, since quite a lot of prog fans have the attitude that prog is the "highest" form of music, so if you really get into it you won't like anything else as much as you like prog ...

Yah, it would be interesting to see if anybody here isn't a fan, as oppose to fanatic, but I doubt it.

I voted the obvious but............progressive can include all the othe metioned "genres" so that is not really fair.  Progressive is a musical plain of conciousness that knows no limits and only strives to create an experience (it's medium being emotions). It doesn't matter what instruments you use or the era from it has emerged, just how far you have taken it.

Is there really such a thing as a "genre" anyway?

I agree wholeheartedly, although that also applies to several other "genres": experimental, avant-garde, post rock, virtuoso, and perhaps even pop music.

I don't understand half these categories.

It's all rock - it's all good - except the stuff I don't like
