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

you forgot "post-rock" 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 |
, 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,

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 ... |

Me : Prog + Classic + Fusion but usually they're emerged each other such as Jazz Fusion is the one of Prog or sometimes Psychedelic Prog is also belong to Classic ! |

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.
Yes. |

Prog & Fusion are the winners. 'cept I'd call Fusion more of a jazz sub-genre. ------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhuxaD8NzaY" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhuxaD8NzaY |

Listen to Godspeed You Black Emperor's Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven. That's all I can say. Also, the only thing that post-punk has to do with punk is the name. I'm not sure that they should have been combined into one option. |

Well the edges of every genre blur, but we generally categorize music by certain aspects of it, or by some other unique defining element. Take jazz for example... the big cats in the jazz world have historically made a family tree of a jazz's who's who. People in jazz make it big when they first play with other big name stars... this is generally speaking of course, and thats much less so nowadays... but it certainly explains the difficulty in explaining just what jazz is, since it now encompasses so many different things. Rock, on the other hand, lends itself to big name bands building up more grassroot support and making it big that way... prog, from what i've seen, started out much in the way jazz did... it was a family of musicians in england, especially canterbury, who started playing rock in new and exciting ways, incorporating more jazz, classical, and avant-garde influences to their music... this generation of progressive rockers came out initially of groups such as early kc and the nice, and eventually blossomed into the core of what we and non-prog fanatics alike today still consider the center influences of the progressive rock movement... elp, yes, gentle giant, vdgg, kc, etc etc.... so, again, generally speaking, this forms the heart of what we know as progressive rock. As this influence grew, other groups incorporated this influence into their music as well, and what these groups did falls on the "blurry edges" of the genre, as i mentioned before... fusion, with groups like mahavishnu orchestra and return to forever, prog metal, with rush, and art pop-rock, with groups like styx. With most anything relating to definitions of any sort its never black or white, but we do the best we can. thats my two cents on that... ------------- I bleed coffee.

i chose punk. and i would include emo under punk,
as i am assuming punk is meant to have a preatty broad sence. ------------- *Remember all advice given by Asuma is for entertainment purposes only. Asuma is not a licensed medical doctor, psychologist, or counselor and he does not play one on TV.* |

yeah, emo probably should have been included with punk, indie replacing emo, and post-punk just... not there

After prog and jazz/rock fusion, I listen to Blues Rock more than any of those others. Blues rock covers a lot of ground and includes a lot of the "Jam Bands." Give me Hendrix, Zeppelin, Cream, Allman Brothers, SRV, Gravy, Kenny Wayne Shepherd (first 3 CDs), Blue Traveler (pre hits), Arc Angles, Doyle Bramhall II, Sonny Landreth, Indigenous and Poppa Chubby any day. |
