Never Heard It

Wow, that's unfortunate!  Check out 'Ghosts' for sure.

I've never knowingly listened to any Popol Vuh or Amon Düül.

Get yourself some maudlin of the Well, wait until midnight, go to a dark, damp room (preferably with a dirt floor, plenty of spiderwebs, and maybe some prison bars), and immerse yourself into the vast world of Toby Driver's mind. I think that musical impact is a matter of time and comfort, but I will consider your suggestion.

Never listened to a whole Flower Kings or Spocks Beard album. Never listened to IQ or Marillions Fugazi. I have no desire to change any of that though

I'm quite new to prog so it's understandable, but I'v never heard anything (yet) from Peter Hammill (solo), Opeth, Magma (bar debut and some other tracks), Zappa (bar debut, Hot Rats (I think, can't remember) and some other tracks), Bacamarte, MotW, Di Meola (solo), Nucleus, Renaissance (bar a couple of tracks), Pain of Salvation, Riverside, Edge of Sanity, The Mars Volta (bar a couple of tracks from debut), Cobham (solo), Area, Hancock (solo), Anathema, Santana (bar some newer stuff), Devin Townsend, Tool (bar their No Quarter cover), Porcupine Tree (bar a couple of tracks), Kaya Dot, Atheist, Museo Rosenbach, Ayreon, SBB, Maxophone, Cos, Nemo, Neal Morse, Big Big Train (bar the track Underfall Yard),

I'm with Historian9 on not knowing anything from Zeuhl. I've listened to a few songs by Magma, and just didn't appreciate it...sounded to me like they did a BUNCH of pot and thought they were awesome because of it....   
To my detriment I've never listened to an entire Genesis album. I need to...the songs I have heard from their older stuff were pretty cool.

Well, we you have rated Xing Sa, which is in Zeuhl with a one star, but perhaps you rated that after you posted that.  Although I expect that you would find music that you would like in the Zeuhl universe, judging by your ratings, username, and sigpic, it's probably not for you (maybe at some time you'll appreciate such music more, as, at least in my case, tastes adapted and my horizons widened as I got exposed to more music).  My favourite albums in your list are rated with one star (I love Uinivers Zero's Clivage for instance), so I wouldn't recommend the more more avant prog/ RIO oriented, or experimental bands to you. Nor a hell of a lot of other stuff looking at your list. Magma plays RIO fests, and Zeuhl is in the avant camp.  Very much doubt you'd like Krauttock, Indo Prog/ Raga Rock, acid folk, Kosmische, progressive electronic, most Jazz Fusion, can see you haven't liked psych and a lot of other stuff too.

This is a reason why I like ratings even without reviews.  I can see how my tastes mesh up with people and what to recommend and not to recommend.

I haven't explored a lot in the metal categories, but I have found stuff to like in all of the metal categories.

I used to try everything I found in the top whatever for the year, but I started realizing there were only certain sub-genres I really liked.  I kept listening to things in the top list that sounded like nothing but chaotic noise to me...and the thing is that I don't think it's ignorance on my part, because I have a solid background in musical theory.

If you can suggest a Zeuhl band that has any kind of similarities to some of the bands in the sigpic, I promise I'll try it...can't promise I'll like it though....

Actually, I did listen to some of Magma's live album recently.  I was listening to it while working, and kind of enjoyed it.  But then I tried to listen to Khontark again when I had no distractions, but when I had no distractions I just didn't like it.  I felt like the musicians were trying to hard to be all avant garde.  And I wasn't hearing the complexity that I crave so much.  Sorry dude...
