 Topic: Sub-genre completists?Posted: October 04 2007 at 12:00 |

Wasn't sure whether to put this here or in the prog discussion polls. This seemed like the safest bet.
As I have stated before, I think there are too many sub-genres. Just my opinion, I'm not here to belabor the point. But one good thing I found about having sub-genres was it presented a way for me to approach writing reviews so I wasn't just reviewing all of my favorites and putting 5 stars across the board. I discovered that of all the subs, I had all but:
Krautrock
Experimental
Raga-Rock (that term cracks me up)
Originally I was just going to ask how many of you had them all, then I thought it would make a good poll.
Edit: ack! I hit enter and posted the poll before I was done! Edited by Tapfret - October 04 2007 at 12:02 |

Don't know. I guess I'm missing some subgenres.

I actually think I've got something from all of them, even though of course I've got more material from my favourite subgenres. I am curious by nature, so I'll try anything at least once (no, not in THAT sense
 ...) - however, like everybody else, I have my own preferences.

Looking at what I have, it covers all the "genres" and "tags" here in PA.
So if I were to be added to the PA database, I would probably be categorized as Eclectic...

Now that I thunk about it, the only 'Various' that are listed on PA in my collection are from free (legal!) downloads and not complete albums. I have a couple 'Various' like 'Nativity in Black'.

I am missing 1: I am missing an album from the Indo/Fraggle Rock subgenre, though I do have the odd Quintessence and 3rd Ear Band track on samplers and stuff somewhere. I aquired my first Zeuhl album this week, which I don't think it will be my last Scanning through the Various: Concepts, Samplers and Tributes lists I am embarrassed to say that I have enough of them to make me think of volunteering for the Various: Concepts, Samplers and Tributes Team

I am missing 3: Indo/Raga, Italian Prog, and Zeuhl. I have a handful of Cantebury, an Amon Duul album for Krautrock, and a couple of Univers Zero albums in the RIO/Avant category; so I barely have anything in these 3 categories.
My biggest categories are Prog-related, the former Art Rock subgenres, Prog Metal, and Neo-Prog.

there are a couple i don't have anything from, but i'd like to expand my collection to include those.
my favourite genres are prog metal, experimental/post, symphonic, heavy (pretty much all of what used to be art rock), and prog folk |

Same! I had listened to this album in digital form, and when I was in Oslo(to see Dream Theater and Symphony X  ), I stumbled over it in a jazz record store. I was absolutely thrilled, as it's one of the best discoveries I've made during the last months! Also, I get bragging rights for having an album of a genre(indo-prog/raga-rock) that the (and I'm kind of guessing here) fewest PA members listen to.  Obscurity creds for me! |
