Let's see... I have:
  • Symphonic Prog
  • Canterbury Scene
  • Crossover Prog
  • Eclectic Prog
  • Experimental/Post-Metal
  • Indo Prog/Raga-Rock
  • Jazz-rock/Fusion
  • Heavy Prog (Only on Vinyl, but still Embarrassed)
  • Krautrock
  • Prog Folk
  • Electronic Prog
  • Progressive Metal
  • Psychedelic/Space Rock
  • RIO/Avant Prog
  • Tech/Extreme Prog Metal
  • Prog Related
  • Proto Prog

Which means that i'm missing: Experimental/Post-rock, Italian Symphonic Prog, Neo Progressive, Zeuhl, Various.

That's 6 genres. Still pretty impressive for a collection of only 140-150 CD's!

I sure Raff will soon educate you, the Shakti album she recomended to me is jolly fine.
 
Perhaps The Ozric Tentacles should be tagged as Raga as a lot of their music is of that vein... then maybe there's an obsucre RPI band that plays Ragu. Wink


she told me it was a really good album... and I do love Popol Vuh's explorations into that area of music.  I probably would enjoy it.. just never made it there..

I'm missing five if we don't count Various and count Hot Rats and Grand Wazoo as Jazz-rock (which is what they are). I'm going to fix that somewhat soon, though, because I want to get Rock Bottom and Diablo Swing Orchestra (or Unexpect). And some day I'll get an Italian album. Which would then leave me only missing Neo and Raga, which I can live with.

Although due to my relatively small collection (that is overly dominated by Floyd from my early days--I don't have the heart to resell them though) and lack of interest in some genres, for some I only have one album (like prog metal).

I recently acquired my first Indo-Raga Prog album... Shakti's "Natural Elements", hightly recommended!


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!

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
