since you are an octopus, does this mean you have more than 8 favourites?

Symphonic prog is my favorite sub-genre. I mean Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, and ELP are in this genre. So need I say more?

In the Court, In the Wake and (maybe) Lizard are kind of symph prog, but other than that, KC isn't symphonic prog.

I choose post/math today. Some other day the answer could be exp/post, kraut, eclectic, or maybe avant/RIO

King Crimson isn't Symphonic Prog. They're Eclectic Prog.
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

My apologies. I guess I was thinking of their first two albums, but, yes, they changed directions rather quickly.

So theoretically, eclectic prog should win this round. "Least loathed" equals most popular as per the vote against polls.

Well, from the knockout poll the eclectic prog sub-genre won.... the least loathed. Not my term but one I read that struck my chord... Yet Symphonic sub genre wins the favourite. I just wondered why....

More people wanted to see symphonic gone than eclectic win is the short answer. It doesn't mean those who voted against symph all had the same favorite. The symph loyalists are the larger group, but when all the smaller groups who prefer eclectic combined, they made a much bigger group that eclipsed the people who calim symph as their favorite.

+1

Love your avatar BTW. Spectral Mornings is one of my favorite Hackett albums, but I really love his first four albums anyway.

Thank you. Yes Spectral Mornings was one of the first Steve Hackett albums that I heard and I still like it. One of his best for sure. Also I am gonna see him on his Genesis Revisited Extended Tour later this month. Smile

Nice! I'm sure that will be a memorable concert. I'm not a big fan of his Genesis Revisited albums, but I'm sure the music will sound great live. I'm quite anxious to hear a new Hackett album, especially after loving Beyond the Shrouded Horizon. Keeping my fingers crossed that the material is good and not one of those half and half Hackett albums.

I'll go with fusion today, followed by (in no particular order) Heavy, Eclectic, RPI and Folk.
