    As some mentioned it is impossible. Especially 3 favorite bands but lets give it a try :
     
    bands - King crimson, VDGG, Robert Wyatt
    Sub-genres - Hard prog (most of it is classified here as eclectik), Acid folk, R-I-O
    non prog genres - ECM jazz-rock (Webber, Micus, Hussain etc), Baroque (Bach, Vivaldi, Corelli), Modern classic (Stravinsky, Rimsky-Korsakov)
    Decades - 1970-1979, 1890-1899, around 1700 I think.

    favorite musical decade? absolutely unanswerable, unless it means favorite decade of prog; then I'll go with 70s, 60s, 00s.
    favorite three sub-genres: Krautrock, space-rock, the third is a battle between RIO, jazz-rock, Zeuhl and the in my opinion either misnamed or misused category folk prog (I'd be more happy with "ethnic prog" as sub category).
    as to favorite non-prog genres: jazz, classical music (another misnomer; there are so many different styles which are sub-summarized under this category; baroque music has nothing at all to do with music of the impressionists, for example), Indian music
     
    I think it is is the second time in few days you wrote that in different threads.
    I said it about 3 years ago and got no responses so I felt I should support you here.
    However, how would you describe Acid folk in this case ?
