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: http://www.progarchives.com/top-prog-albums.asp?style_id=12 - Canterbury/RIO/Avant-Prog 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. -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival. Ceterum censeo principiis obsta |

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: http://www.progarchives.com/top-prog-albums.asp?style_id=12 - Canterbury/RIO/Avant-Prog 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. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

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

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. |

Well, i like most genres. However, I don't like Prog metal nor Kraut rock. I have had only slight encontours with Italian Prog (but i like what i heard) and with Zeuhl (not bad). I love symphonic, canterbury (i'll never spell that right), most fusion, art rock, and prog folk. All the others that are left i like, to various degrees. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Although I like the idea of subgenres, in some ways it is quite confusing. I think you need a degree in the subject to work it all out and I'm far from finished the degree yet. ------------- Eternity |

...and we all need myths to live I don't have any preferences among the genres (although I know some more than others, but only because it is easier to obtain some genres of music more than others) , and I don't care whether something is 'prog' or not, I prefer the term 'music' ------------- "In war there is no time to teach or learn Zen.

| I like most of the genres, depends on the mood. For the last time, I've been listening to a lot of fusion and post-rock, bu t I really like the other genres too (although I'm not really into Neo-progressive or Progmetal, though Fantômas is great). |

Many would say that I have open view of what prog is....
(voted the last) I listen most to prog metal, but I don't see that type of prog as better than the others... ------------- "Music is a moral law - it gives wings to the mind, A soul to the universe, Flight to the imagination, A charm to sadness, A life to everything." - Plato |

I could go for any of the options depending on how I feel at the time I was asked. I moslty listen to early to mid 70s stuff, and although I feel that Symphonic Prog is the purest form of the genre, I'll listen to pretty much anything thats progressive. it's all good |
