I'll look into Hatfield and the North.

Yikes!

Try something a bit tamer first, like Egg.  Once you've got to their third album The Civil Surface, you may start appreciating music by Henry Cow and National Health then. Big%20smile

Also try Picchio dal Pozzo from Italy.  Their debut is Canterbury whilst their follow-up is Canterbury and avant-prog (RIO).

Both are excellent and good primers for further exploration.

However, I'm not sure of the availability of their albums.

Edit: oh, you listen to Henry Cow already

Try Hatfield and the North as well Big%20smile

I listen to Henry Cow a lot. Magma is good, but not one of my favorites.

For something a bit more adventurous, perhaps try Henry Cow or Magma.

I've listened mostly to symphonic and folk just because that's what everyone always had said to listen to. I'm pretty open to anything.

Hard to say - where do your tastes lie?  Mostly symphonic?

Check out the Canterbury subgenre.  You can't go wrong with anything you see in the top albums there.

I haven't bought any albums for a while... and I'd like a few recommendations. I like bands from all prog subgenres. I have most of the famous albums from Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, Jethro Tull, etc. I'd like to know about more of the lesser known groups.
