As for me, I just went with my gut reaction for most of the genres. RIO/Avant was particularly tough, though, because I'd say 90% of my favorite prog comes from that genre nowadays.

Honestly, It didn't take me all that long, I'm already pretty certain what my absolute favourite albums are in each genre, though some of them it was pretty close decision. Oh, and I agree with you on Angerr Shisspa, much better than any Magma I've heard (E-Re being the only one I havnt). |

i just went to my reviews and looked at which ones per category were given 5 stars and went from there. or you can just go for a gut reaction which usually is good enough as music is about the gut reaction. If its in your mind as soon as you see the sub you know its the one. I wish I knew more zeuhl, Indo and RIO besides the obvious suspects. Shakti is getting full exposure here cos we perhaps have no idea of others. i know I dont. But this thread may help me and others understand more about the sub genres and hear something, a choice from someone, that we actually like. Space rock is always a hard one as we tend to pick Pink Floyd but thats not true space as Snow Dog has already pointed out. So its not an easy thing to choose an album from every genre, but it is fun and quite refreshing to branch out into other sub genres that we have not heard a lot of.

Also, that isn't actually an indo/raga album, I was joking.
(The ending of this song is badass though) |

Angherr Shisspa by Koenjihyakkei is getting a few mentions here, which is nice, but I prefer 'Hundred Sights of Koenji' because of the atmosphere generated by the wall of sound made by vocals. Sounds more like a choir wailing than just one person.
That being said I did put Potemkine before Koenjihyakkei purely on the basis that it's very accessible. I took ages compiling my list. I went to each subsection and looked through all the bands that qualify for that section (Most of which I've never heard of) and then sorta debated between a few frontrunners which I really do make sex piss for.

OK, it took me like an hour, and I'm still not really satisfied, but here's what I have for now.
Canterbury Scene: National Health Of Queues and Cures Crossover Prog: Singularity Of All The Mysteries Eclectic Prog: Il Berlione Il Berlione Experimental/Post Metal: Anathema We're Here Because We're Here Heavy Prog: Anekdoten Nucleus Jazz Rock/Fusion: Brand X Unorthodox Behaviour Krautrock: Amon Düül II Yeti Neo-Prog: Pendragon Pure Post Rock/Math Rock: Godspeed You! Black Emperor Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven Prog Folk: Gryphon Red Queen to Gryphon Three Progressive Electronic: Tangerine Dream Phaedra Progressive Metal: Dream Theater Images and Words Psychedelic/Space Rock: Ozric Tentacles Erpland RIO/Avant-Prog: Present Le Poison Qui Rend Fou Rock Progressivo Italiano: Premiata Forneria Marconi Per Un Amico Symphonic: Discipline Unfolded Like Staircase Tech/Extreme Prog Metal: Voivod Nothingface Zeuhl: Happy Family Toscco Don't know any Indo/Raga. Personally, while we're on the subject, I think that the "scene" genres should not exist as independent genres here, but rather as perhaps sub-genres of other genres. I mean, Indo/Raga? Really? And Canterbury? The bands are all so different they wouldn't even end up in the same genre otherwise. Krautrock is just a type of Psyche, is it not? And Zeuhl is a form of Avant (RIO need not exist either). And of course most Neo-prog is just a form of Symphonic! Probably RPI is as well, for the most part. |

Eh, I don't really agree. For all the subgenres I can hear the differences. If anything I'd say space and psych don't belong together

Terrific list i like the sound of Crossover Prog: Singularity Of All The Mysteries Eclectic Prog: Il Berlione Il Berlione Zeuhl: Happy Family Toscco Those scene genres were painstakingly chosen and if any are removed a lot of tea collabs will be a little grumpy.. seriously they are a good indication of what to expect for the artists in each. today i listened to another RIO album, Henry Cow, IPOL, and once again it was challenging but it has its place.
