In this stage my main business is the crusade against the hybrid subgenres that are more or less limited to one country. Since I prefer RPI above Krautrock I vote for the latter. Moreover, I hope to keep Sympho in the tournament because I think it is one of the core subgenres of prog. -------------

I like the fact that you're consistent even if I hope Krautrock will last to the very end. My current fave  Btw whereas RPI is entirely made up of Italian artists (please, anybody, correct me if I'm wrong), you'll find loads of acts in Krautrock spanning from places as different as Japan, France, The States, Italy and the list literally goes on and on. Back when the expression was coined it largely dealt with German acts exclusively - including bands like Jane, Birth Control, Pell Mell, Adonis' Daughter and lots of other acts that we here on PA have placed in other subs. Krautrock, at least on this site, is more about the 'experimental' vibes, improvisation, motorik grooves and that ever so fleeting feel of Kosmische Musik  (I know you said "more or less limited to one country", I just took the chance to elaborate on a sub which I feel a lot of folks misunderstand. It wasn't directed at you in particular  )------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

| It's funny to see how much Symphonic is the "least favourite" genre on this poll. When you take a look at the top 25 albums of all time, the genre is strongly represented and those who are not listed as Symphonic (like In The Court) are considered as such... Strange |

Haven't voted even once from the beginning, my friend! I hold no dislike of any of the prog sub-genres, but these polls have seen some pretty repulsive character traits emerge! 
Besides, I don't see the point. So once a week about 10 people get to feel smug about themselves?! Same goes for the final round I guess, too. |

The repulsive character traits are the best thing. I inquired as to the point of this - apparently this is to encourage music consumption. Don't actually see how. It is mildly amusing to see Symphonic prog rock targeted as, without the usual suspects, ELP, Yes, Genesis et al, there would be nothing prog rock. But only mildly. I would rather encourage all music creation no matter the meta-genre, genre, sub genre, sub -sub genre etc, usw. |

Amen, brother, from this Brother!  Go sing it from the mountain!
I, too, feel there's frequently a little bit of `selective musical history' going on here, that makes me more likely to NOT want to explore further other genres of progressive music because of the attitude of some. A shame, because if they were a little more tolerant and less dismissive, I'd take their opinions more seriously. Oh, great, now thats bringing out the bad character traits in me!
Just enjoy all progressive music, people, without the hang-ups!

^ Zappa is arguably more 'eclectic prog'. I'll actually be honest and vote krautrock, rather than make sure avant is out (it clearly is). Avant is much better though.
Symphonic is the most liked, but that doesn't mean it's the "least hated". If people voting it were honest though they'd probably vote RPI first.

I generally find RPI more consistent and appealing to explore, so symph gets my vote, although I by no means dislike the sub. |

I voted Krautrock to save RIO. I don't like the influences on pop music that resulted from Kraftwerk. And HackettFan makes no secret of being a ZappaFan.

But Kraftwerk aren't Krautrock, well at least not the period you're referring to This is Kraftwerk back when they made Krautrock: What they later on metamorphosed into, the electronic pop deities, are miles away from anything resembling Krautrock.

A great deal of RPI is symph to me with Italian lyrics.
And it amazes me that psych/space prog has no votes at all against it. Is it going to win..?
 And it's 'least favorite' and not 'least hated' btw.

I think some people just like to play things a little provocatively. Either that or it's the good old "if everyone on PA likes something, then I must dislike it profusely because I am a cool cat andI will never ever be mainstream". Or maybe the people chiming in in these polls are not the same as the ones who were part of building up the symphonic reputation of the frontpage. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Psychedelic space rock can be much more difficult to digest as well as RPI.
As some one mentioned just above I think many on this poll are 'taking the piss' as they say in merry old England.

Take Haken for instance...their new LP gets raves and its listed as heavy prog but imo it's also 'bombastic' and more than most of the good symph things out there. Symph rubs me the wrong way far less than many other genres.

As you can see in Poll 12, RPI is ahead (or behind that is), and the people who voted that are probably different from the people who voted symph, therefore the people who seem to like RPI better are not the same as those who like symph better. |

No, the people voting RPI are generally those who voted symph. They went RPI because it was clear symph wouldn't go. At the same time, I do think that is more honest, because RPI is less substantial. But the reasoning is yet another level of contrivance. What a tangled web we weave.
I'm trying to say that symphonic gets more divergent reactions than say psych/space. Therefore in a negative poll, you will much more votes for it than something that attracts less attention (good and bad). Of course, the overall view of it is very positive. Much more so than krautrock and whatnot.
