Prog metal, I only got liquid tension experiment and I dislike it. I have lots of loose songs but I still don't own the albums to which they belong.

The Beatles - prog or not, can't stand them!

Neo prog like IQ, Arena, Pendragon. Considered getting Dark Matter and The Seventh House at one point, but wasn't sure if it was worth it.

Kansas - never checked 'em out really.

Queen - actually had most of their albums at one point, they were my favourite band too. Don't have any now. The only one I still like is Sheer Heart Attack, might still pick it up, but no interest beyond that one.

Can't stand The Beatles, huh. Are you seeing somebody about that?

Seriously though, statements like this have always made me confused. I can see them not being a favorite, but such negative attitudes amaze me.

So, on to the topic. There are some I don't own because they are hard to find, and others because I am not familiar with them yet. I will focus on the ones I don't want to own.

All Prog Metal - at least until I hear some I like.
Hogarth Marillion - for obvious reasons.
Kansas - Good band, just not that interested in them.
Saga - There is some fun stuff there, but not enough to spend money on.
Anthony Phillips - a bit dull to me.
Pendragon - what I've heard doesn't impress me too much
The Mars Volta - No appeal for me

Those are the ones I could think of. There may be others.

I don't own any albums by Frank Zappa(shame!) or Supertramp, even though I really like them both, I also don't own any albums by Camel, Gentle Giant or Van der Graff Generator, which is sad, because I seem to hover in the Symphonic/Art Rock area, listening mostly to bands like Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, ELP, Rush, Supertramp, Kansas, and my Psychedelic band is Pink Floyd, and my Folk band is Jethro Tull. I also don't own any Krautrock albums, but I want to, especially by Faust and Kraftwerk. Don't own any Experimental albums either, although I liked what I heard of Flying Saucer Attack and Atomic Rooster. Don't own any Dream Theater albums either. There's a lot of stuff I don't have. Time to go to the record shop again!

Far too many to mention... To cut a long story short, I don't own any Krautrock, RIO, Indo-Prog or Electronic. As to Experimental-PostRock, I only have one GSYBE! album in MP3 format. I suppose I'm more a classic prog lover, being heavily into Symphonic, Jazz-Rock, Canterbury and Art Rock. I'm slowly getting more into Prog-Metal too, though I'm more of a classic hard rock/heavy metal person.

Haha nope! Tongue

Not sure why you call it having a "negative attitude" though. It's my opinion, and I truly cannot stand their music. If I said anything else, I'd be lying. I didn't say they were bad, tons of people love them, but just not my cup of tea at all.
