Tell me what your favorite sub-genres of PA artists are, not including prog-related and proto. 
Partly out of curiosity, partly as an opportunity to test a data tabulating tool.
If you would be so kind, use the exact wording for the SG as detailed on the PA banner and number them. 

Thanks!  

1. Zeuhl

2. Jazz Rock/Fusion

3. RIO/Avant-Prog

4. Eclectic Prog

5. Rock Progressivo Italiano

8. Heavy Prog

9. Symphonic Prog

I hear ya. I am the same with Indo-Raga, except for Shakti/McLaughlin which is borderline staple stuff. I just know that what I have sampled is more intriguing to me than large swaths of Neo and even Crossover. 
Thanks for the list. Thumbs Up

3. Jazz Rock/Fusion
4. Symphonic Prog

6. Zeuhl
7. Prog Folk

14. Post Rock/Math Rock
15. Heavy Prog
16. Neo-Prog
17. Progressive Metal
18. Experimental/Post Metal
19. Tech/Extreme Metal

1-4 I'll like more often than not (though they all have their fair share of duds). Most of my all-time favourite prog albums are from these four subgenres.
5-6 I've found these two to be consistently great, and only keep them lower than the top four because I haven't heard nearly as much from them.
7-12 I am ambivalent towards, either finding them to consistently produce decent (but not excellent) music, or because they contain equal parts stunning music and complete rubbish.
13-15 I'll dislike artists in these genres more often than not, but have still found excellent music contained within them.
16 Usually trash.
17-19 I am simply not interested in delving into these at this point in time.

1. Probably the single largest part of my collection and my go to most often
2. Small but perfectly formed group, top bands have a selection of excellent albums
3-6. Regularly explore, little trouble finding good interesting stuff. Old bands tend to be core bands for me, still lots of good new stuff coming in these too.
7-10. More patchy, like the good stuff a lot but a lot of stuff is not for me.
11-14. Pick and choose selected bands, keep exploring but finding stuff for me tougher
15-17. Like the instrumental or avant stuff but most of it is a turn off.
18. Probably only found 5 or 6 albums I like, rarely even check any more due to constant disappointment.
19. Don't own anything.

...and then it peters out slowly.
