| I'm curious to know what other genres are popular among fans of prog. I enjoy shoegaze, sound art, and experimental music for the exploration of timbres. I like math rock and post-hardcore because I like complex rhythms and time signatures. The list goes on as I listen to a diverse palette of styles. What do you listen to besides prog and what appeals to you about it? |

I like both genres - country and western! Actually, I like classical, jazz, and fusion. Delving too deep into subgenres hurts my head.

Southern rock is my calling. The Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Marshall Tucker Band are all top 10 artists for me (MTB is probably a top 5), and I'm also a fan of Molly Hatchet, Outlaws, Blackfoot and the Charlie Daniels Band. Any time I'm on the road for more than an hour or two, some southern rock will get played. It's the perfect road trip music, or just general travel music for that matter. I'm also keen on the collaborative playing that goes along with the genre. Most southern rock bands had 2 or 3 guitarists, and often piano, fiddle or flute/saxophone thrown into the mix, so there's plenty of interesting jamming potential and lots of seamless trade-off licks, which I love. I'm also a strong proponent for the idea that effective music should reflect the geography and culture of where the artists come from. I'm drawn towards prog that does this, whether it's some rustic and romantic RPI, some depressive and pensive English symphonic prog or lively and spirited Quebecois fusion. Southern rock is especially perfect for this, with the music and lyrics speaking true to the North American experience. I mean, it's hard not to get nostalgic when you put on Skynyrd's Tuesday's Gone with the autumn leaves falling around you, or the Allman Brothers' Blue Sky as the early morning sun shines over the country, or when you're driving out west and the Marshall Tucker Band's Fire On The Mountain paints romantic images of America's past and the determination and tribulation of the quest for gold. Southern rock, man. It's the stuff. ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |

Jazz (especially free and avant-garde) post-punk, noise rock, industrial, post/math rock, metal (especially funeral doom and drone), minimalism, experimental in general, ambient, no wave, psychedelia and krautrock, RIO, maybe a little world music... Most of all I prefer music that doesn't feel constrained to a given genre. I'm open to anything that doesn't sound like Billboard dreck. I'm interested in one day exploring classical, hip-hop/rap, more contemporary electronic music, etc but I've got plenty of time.

These are divided up in an idiosyncratic way that's not supposed to make logical sense to anyone else, but I collect all of the following equally. They're divided up the way the are based on my collecting interests. I simply copied the list I use for collecting purposes. Also, some of the genre names are what they are because they're the names used on rym, for example--it makes it easier for me to find the stuff I'm interested in: afro-cuban jazz ambient/drone/noise art pop/sophistipop/zolo avant prog/RIO/zeuhl bluegrass blues blues rock/boogie rock Broadway/showtunes bubblegum/teen pop/Radio Disney artists/top of Billboard charts comedy stand-up/comedy music country/western country rock/Americana dance/disco experimental folk/singer-songwriter funk fusion gospel hard rock hip-hop jazz latin metal modern classical nu metal/groove metal/funk metal/rap metal/rap rock pop pre-baroque classical pre-rock pop (pre 1956)/pre-British Invasion rock (through 1963) progressive rock punk psychedelic rock/psychedelic pop R&B reggae/dub rock soft rock/yacht rock soul southern rock western classical music world music |

Other than prog...I guess if I had to choice, maybe alternative. I also enjoy regular normal rock music on occasion. I only enjoy dance if I'm dancing with friends or something like that...but really, prog is my only liking. Most other genres of music I like have some prog related movements, and it's not often that I find a prog song I don't enjoy. ------------- User Banned for this Post |

According to the definitions on this site, Math Rock and Post Rock are subgenres of Prog, so I won't list these. I have a lot of experimental avantgarde music (electronic or not) that is not filed under Prog. Also I listen to some 80s post punk. And then there's stuff scattered over many genres that I like, be it jazz, classical and modern classical, some singer/songwriter, some classic rock, some world music, some arty and not so arty pop music... |

Classical music in a big way; The Symphony (I started a thread on the subject) is my main musical enjoyment; also piano music-sonatas and concertos. To paraphrase the late great conductor Bruno Walter, "I could not live my life without Bruckner and Mahler".

All the way back to the sixties I've been into guitar driven, blues based hard rock. I listened a lot to bands like The Animals, Them, Hendrix, The Jeff Beck Group and Cream. In the seventies I discovered Jazz Rock Fusion when Jeff Beck and Tommy Bolin guested on several albums. In the Metal days it was Ozzie solo albums, Metallica, Megadeth and Testament. When I joined PA a couple of years ago I revisited a lot of seventies Prog and then discovered RPI and several similar Spanish language bands. I guess I went back to my roots when I found Desert Rock / Psych Rock / Stoner Rock and that's where I'm at right now. I didn't leave anything behind because I can grab an album from any genre I mentioned and enjoy it as much as I ever did.

I like all kinds of music; and mean all, no holds barred whatsoever. My interests change month to month, week to week, day to day. Sometimes I'm obsessed with a single artist or album, sometimes a genre or period. Sometimes two or more things will serve as parallels, sometimes I'm not focused on anything in particular at all. |

I really like all music, from pure pop (new wave, synthpop) to experimental (jazz, fusion). Sometimes I prefer instrumental music (jazz, classical, new age, ambient, trance) and sometimes more vocal albums (AOR, pop, melodic rock). I love worldmusic, soul, R&B, hip-hop, acidjazz, nu-jazz, jazzfunk aswell. I do tend to dislike nu-metal, gabberhouse, gothic metal, black metal, euro house, bubblegum pop, extreme/tech, noise. When I'm in the mood, I have no problems with harder genres like stoner rock/metal, progressive metal, thrash, punk, hardcore. The last few years I noticed my love for modern indiepop and indierock and 80's new wave and synthpop. It's no coincidence that the 80's is back in most modern music. I forgot to mention I also like psychedelic music: psybient, spacerock, psytrance, stonerrock. I hate songs like: Mambo number 5, Who let the Dogs Out, No Limits, Valerie
I also (sometimes) have a need for singer/songwriter, country, bluegrass, blues, etc. |

Some Southern rock bands are really progressive. I love Allman Brothers Band's High Falls (14 minutes) or Charlie Daniels Band / Marshall Tucker Band (love the flute). Also Gov't Mule is really progressive. Should be on the website. Molly Hatchet is too blue collar for my taste.

As a total music geek who wants to know about everything and font the best in any given genre - it would be easier to list the genres I can't seem to enjoy. But the largest amount of time listening to music outside of PA-stuff is probably spent on: 1. jazz recorded sometime in between 1958-1975 - Post Bop/Free/Avantgarde/Spiritual/Oriental/Fusion... 2. Classical music mainly from Baroque to 20th century classical/avantgarde music. Or from Monterverdi to Scelsi. 3. The terrible term "world music" & folk music + exotica 4. mid eighties to early nineties thrash & death metal 5. Soul/Funk of the late 60's-early 70's 6. New wave/Post punk/Synthpop. 7. French Ye-ye, beat pop & innocent, baroque pop/pop-psych from around the world + not genre spesific but I especially love italian Soundtracks and Libraries ca. 1965-1985. & also have a soft spot for 78RPM's and do listen to a lot of 30's jazz, early popular music + cuban & gypsy tunes, and tango's etc... thanks to that. - Funnily Southern Rock, Desert Rock, Indie, Drone which seem to be quite the thing for other PA-members does very little for me. |

I like a fair amount of house and techno too. Detroit was a good hub for that in the 90's; Jeff Mills, Derrick May et al... I'm out of touch with it now, and I'm too old to "rave" Apart from that, I listen to whatever sounds good to my ears. Anything from Metal to Indie to electronica. I like classical music and I can cope with jazz and folk in small does. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

The misconceived complaint is that it's purely a "marginalizing" term. That complaint is misconceived because it ignores that there's world music from every country--like sacred harp singing, prison work songs, Appalachian folk music, Sioux Indian music, etc. from the US, for example. That's all world music. The misconception on the other side is that "world music" must then refer to all music. It doesn't. It refers to musics with folk roots (in the broader, anthropological sense of "folk") that had and continues to have a strong regional tie, because it's not something that "caught on" and propagated around the world as a type of pop music (again in a broad sense of the term "pop"), and by extension, it also refers to music that blends those regional folk musics with more contemporary pop musics. The latter is sometimes called "world fusion," although some people--including me--prefer to use "world fusion" for music that's more or less like jazz-fusion with world music influences. We could use another term like "indigenous musics" or something instead, but the problem is that no particular term is popular enough on that end yet to be useful for those of us who regularly search for albums in the category. |

At that point of the thread, nobody is probably reading it, but oh well. I am very big into jazz. And I mean jazz in general. My favorite genres are the broadly-defined post-bop. Charles Mingus' Mingus at Carnegie Hall is my favorite jazz album of all time. I love free jazz of Peter Brötzmann, Ornette Coleman, later 'Trane, Albert Ayler! Also really like cool jazz and hard-bop guitarists Wes Montgomery and Grant Green. Love jazz-fusion of Chick Corea, Scott Henderson (whom I saw live this year), and Keith Jarrett! Love jazz! Another musical interest is classical music. I generally like romantic, post-romantic, and avant-classical. My favorite composers are Olivier Messiaen, Arnold Schoenberg, Igor Stravinsky, Bela Bartok, Dmitri Shostakovich, but also romantics: Chopin, Rimsky-Korsakov, Szymanowski, Dvorak.... And avant-garde composers such as Stockhausen, Cage, and the minimalist big three: Terry Riley, Steve Reich, and Philip Glass (whom I had an amazing pleasure of handing flowers to when I was a little kid). I used to be, but still love, blues-rock, English blues-rock especially. Early Climax Blues Band, Steamhammer, Cream - love these bands still. Recently, I'm big into improv and the so-called avant-scene of the eighties and nineties. Love Fred Frith's works, but also love John Zorn, Bill Laswell, some of the things Bill Frisell does. ------------- Categories strain, crack and sometimes break, under their burden - step out of the space provided. |

(I didn't quote all but read all) You love the term; good for you. I should have written useless or lazy rather than terrible. To me its more like "foreign films" - too broad and well slightly ignorant. But I lazily still chose to use it myself although I could have been much more genre specific. It isn't necessarily the elastic, hybrid, global music fusion part of the term that interests me.

The older I get the less inclined I am to say that I like music of a particular genre because the more of it I hear the less I tend to like. For example I've listened to Progressive Rock since it was invented yet if I were to list all the Prog Bands I like against all those I don't then the latter list would be far longer, similarly there is more Metal that I dislike than like, more Gothic Rock I cannot stand than adore and more Electronic Music that leaves me unmoved than moved - yet I would have cited all four genres as favourites of mine at one time or other. And this is a good thing because if nothing else it's cured me of "completistism" - I no longer need to buy the complete discographies of all the bands I really like and similarly I don't feel compelled to soak up every artist who tags themselves as a genre I like so can spend all that money pursuing something else instead and have fewer played-once albums in my collection. Ironically, it was Amazon's unsolicited "People who bought _____ also bought..." recommendations that tipped the balance because their leaping-to-an-erroneous-assumption algorithm invariable suggests albums and artists I wouldn't touch with a barge-pole, now more often than not I see Amazon's recommendations as a list of things to avoid [for example: Joe Bonamassa, Cream, Graham Parker, Eric Clapton, JJ Cale, The Ramones and frickin' Chicago (ffs) - I detest all those artists, they bore the pants off me (apologies to those who like any of it, each to their own, it's a free country and no one's perfect)... why? just because I happen to have bought a couple of Jeff Beck albums in the past 20 years? bleugh]. So.. I like some of just about everything that can loosely be called Rock and/or Metal (unless it comes from America and isn't Heart, Savatage, NIN or Neurosis), but that's as far as it goes.

I like at least some things from pretty much every genre of music I've encountered. It's not really about genres for me, just the constant search for new music that fascinates, wherever it might be found. That said my main musical passion - other than broadly defined progressive rock music - is jazz, which I've been soaking up for about thirty years now, almost as long as I've had any serious interest in music. Again there is stuff from pretty much every era and style of jazz that I love, but the core of my jazz listening is from the fifties to the present and very much including free jazz and improv. |

Hate commercial Pop. Don't have much affinity with the 80's era outside of the usual Prog suspects, but, some 80's 'products' I admire a lot ; KAJAGOOGOO (great musicianship, quirky songs, and Nick Beggs - no doubt, he showed his fellow Leighton-Buzzard band-mates Close To The Edge). And keyboardist Stu Neale's first LP he bought was Sabbath's Vol.4 !! SADE HAIRCUT ONE - HUNDRED JAPAN (though they have unique traits that some Proggers may find alluring) THE CURE (I seem to cringe at Robert Smith's voice more and more these days, though the music is mostly great) Opera is difficult for me to appreciate (I got Wakeman's A Suite Of Gods, and I dig the music, but not the voice). C & W - only certain cuts by The Eagles and The Grateful Dead I can tolerate. Just don't dig classical, no matter how hard I try. |

Not a metalhead, but do listen to quite a bit. Lots of great "classical" music out there! I tend to try not to put a label on music, but it does help a lot when exploring for new bands / musicians. Enjoy some jazz every now and then, and have a guilty pleasure soft spot thing for some indie-rock bands. Some standard pop / country / rock in small doses. FILM SCORES ------------- PROG ON!!! |

At this point, I really only listen to prog. I like some 80s stuff but not much else. Whenever I feel like expanding my horizons and try out a different genre like, for instance, folk or classical or something, I just don't quite feel that connection to the music the same I do with prog or prog-related music. Besides, there is so much prog out there that I will always have something new to find or listen to. |

I was wondering if you meant that you only enjoy prog, so you would prefer silence to any other genres- or do you literally enjoy silence? I try to find silence, but I always hear some kind of ambient noise. I do appreciate the musicality of ambient noise, though. Especially bird-song. I miss the sound of cicadas. They don't have them where I live now.

I've been getting back into desert rock, lately. I live in Northern Nevada now and some areas around here look like cover art from Kyuss albums, so the tunes fit the vibe.

I have enjoyed Bathory, Celtic Frost, and Venom for a long time, but I've only recently discovered a lot of black metal and I really like it, especially when they add a new dimension to it like The Botanist, who uses an electric hammered dulcimer as the lead instrument, and Panopticon, mixing banjo and bluegrass elements- dubbed "blackgrass". A great reference site for metal is Encyclopaedia Metallum.

If you like that kind of folk, I recommend John Fahey and Nick Drake. Fahey got kind of avant garde in later years, but his early stuff was very bluesy & folky.

I have no respect for a song which isn't strong in sound and melody. So pretty much every song I like is a prog song. Most rock music after 1983 is a waste of time lol ------------- All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock. |

I like Psy-bient music, which is like chill music with catchy experimental sounds. I discovered that genre when I played a game called "Mirror's edge". And the main composer of that game is called Solar Fields. I liked a lot of the music from the game, so I decided to listen to Solar Fields' discography and that's how I discovered that genre. Another genre I really love is impressionism. I was surfing through Wikipedia, i was reading about classical music because I wanted to know about it. And I discovered this musical period that gets ignored sometimes, I wanted to know about the successor of the romantic period, something more progressive or experimental. I went to Youtube and typed 'Claude Debussy', I listened to Claudio Arrau playing the suite bergamasque and I loved it. And I still love that genre today. I also like videogame soundtracks, because I used to play videogames before getting into music. |

I like most music.. It would be easier for me to say what I hate!.. Old country music, modern country sounds OK. The same goes for RAP, again they have improved! Punk music, I hated that from day one. Stranglers were the only band to have mellowed out in Punk. Heavy metal, again I hate that to a passion, specially the death growls and stupid guitar solo's sounding like horrible noise. Opera music! Just my opinion!! |

I am really starting to appreciate ultra-lo-fidelity recordings from pre-1950 of pretty much any genre. Sometimes I feel we miss the point of the music when we require so much sterility in sound. Probably just a phase. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

| I like rock and roll, some blues/R&B, and I've recently been listening to some Jazz and Classical. There's probably thousands of hours worth of music that I would like that I haven't discovered yet. |

| I mostly gravitate towards indie rock and jazz when I'm straying from prog, but I must say some of my favorite sub-genres of prog are those that crossover with indie or art rock (i.e. "El Cielo"-era Dredg, the Acts of "The Dear Hunter", or "Night"-era Gazpacho) or jazz (i.e. "City of the Sun"-era Seven Impale) |

I like west coast rock, if this can be called a genre. I mean The Eagles, The Little River Band, Crowded House. I also like Tears For Fears very much, but I do not know which genre that is. I do not like much from the 80's other than TFF. ------------- http://theprogressiveweb.blogspot.de" rel="nofollow - Visit me in Second Life to talk about music. |

The Jazz I like does not include Swing. The Classical I like does not include Opera singing. I also like Shawn Phillips, BTW. Not a PA artist, but I'm sure a lot of Tull fans could get into him. He does a kind of Southern Folk Jesus Hippie music with an amazing vocal range, great acoustic guitar playing, and a care for arrangements. I should probably also throw some Greek style blues in there, the sort of traditional music they play mainly with mpouzouki and violin in the rural villages. ------------- A curse upon the heads of those who seek their fortunes in a lie.

If you like 'west coast rock' try Illinois Speed Press, one of my favorite unknown bands from that time period. They ended up out there after starting in the Midwest.... and imho were a brilliant version of that style. I also recommend the James Gang with Walsh and his early solo lps....and of course Poco, Buffalo Springfield, etc. btw..Crowded House were from Australia....shoot off of Split Enz. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

I was sorta being funny because i really love too many genres to list but i have always been fascinated by Tuva throat singing. Did you know that the Inuit in the Arctic have a similar type of throat singing? It's freaking amazing stuff really!

^ It's funny you posted this video because I've been watching several throat singing videos on Youtube lately and the idea of "throat rapping" is quite hilarious . But seriously I do enjoy traditional throat singing from what I've heard. I'll have to check out the Inuit style. ------------- "Larks' tongues. Wrens' livers. Chaffinch brains. Jaguars' earlobes.

Assuming some of these are not always considered to be part of prog: Fusion Canterbury Electronic (the classic kind inspired by TD not the technoey dance stuff although I do like some techno influenced music) old school rap (to some degree not into anything from the past twenty years for the most part) heavy metal (especially old school traditional metal) Folk Jazz Classical Folk rock Psychedelic rock Classic rock (I hate the term "classic rock" though. What I like is more like "album rock.") hard rock Alternative (and alternative rock if there is a difference) Post rock (some of it anyway) Punk rock (ditto above and as long as it doesn't sound sloppy) New wave New Age (some of it anyway) |

I like the Jesus and Mary Chain, Ride, The Stone Roses, and The Raveonettes. Basically shoe gazer bands who merged with other genres. I also like The Shins and Neutral Milk Hotel.

| Other than prog I enjoy mainly other types of rock: Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, and Classic rock. The only things you won't ever catch me listening to is country, modern pop, and 80s pop. I consider 70's electronic (Tangerine Dream) and free-form jazz as my favorite genres next to prog. |
