I don’t like categories and prefer the term "Prog Music".

However, subgenres DO exist, and I most like Prog Metal.

These genres I like very much:

- symphonic prog

- Canterbury

- Italian prog

I like some art rock, neo progressive, Kraut rock, prog folk, fusion and space rock.

There's very little prog metal I like

I don't like the RIO and electronic music I tried.

I never checked out Zeuhl yet.

Well, subgenres are good for finding new bands that play a style similar to what you already like. But the subgenres are very loose, and often it is difficult to put a band in a certain slot. And it's extremely difficult to describe what a subgenre should sound like.

I would have gone for the option "I like all subgenres ESPECIALLY prog metal" but as there was no such option, I went for the first one.
Currently listening to:
- Andromeda
- Pagan's Mind
- Kamelot

My favorite ones of the subgenres:

Canterbury/RIO/Avant-Prog
Electronic Music
Experimental/Post-Rock
Fusion
Kraut Rock
Psychedelic/Space Rock
Zeuhl

One of my favorite bands, "Van der Graaf Generator", is in my opinion very wrongly listed under "Symphonic Prog", but they hardly fit into anything. They have touches of avantgarde and experimental as well as psychedelic and even prog metal (anyone who has ever listened to "Vital" will know what I mean). They are pretty unique and can't be put into any sub category.

I prefer using the term "Prog Music".

I ONLY like 2-3 subgenres of Prog.

I can sort out Art Rock, Symphonic Prog and maybe one or two more that I like the most.
The few genres I don't like is the same genres that I have listened too little to to have a real opinion.
(Was it too many to's?)

I can't say that there's any genre I dislike, but I do have definite preferences. There's not much in these categories that I don't like:

Canterbury/RIO/Avant-Prog
Electronic Music
Experimental/Post-Rock
Fusion
Kraut Rock
Zeuhl

With the other sub genres I'm a lot more picky, and when it comes to prog metal there's nothing I would actively choose to listen to although I can't honestly say I actively dislike it either - it just doesn't really engage my attention.

Neo-prog, Prog-metal and electronic music are usually not for me (there are exceptions of course ), but other than that, I enjoy everything.

I have favourite bands among every sub-genre, even neo-prog, which is usually crap!  Classic 70's prog, electronic/space music and innovative modern prog are my favourites tho.

You can't really say you ONLY like 1 sub-genre 'cause they really are quite vaige and alot of it can be put in many catagories at the same time.

But anyway I PREFER psychedelic/space, symphonic and Art prog the most, and sometimes Electronic.
