I think everybody has posted most of what I like in each of the sub
genres. Henry Cow is a recent discovery for me however and a total
delight I must say.

Pendragon and Dream Theater are amazing 
IQ and conception are excellant

I would have to say Symphonic... but something from each genre has won a place in my heart.

- Gryphon's Red Queen to Gryphon Three

- Quella Vecchia Locanda's two album
Krautrock
- Can's Tago Mago
- Popol Vuh's Einsjager and Siebenjager
- Grobschnitt's first five albums
- Faust's self titled
Rock-In-Opposition
*some people seem to be under a misconception of what RIO really is, and although it was more of a "movement" then a subgenre...
- Samlas Mammas Manna's Klossa Knaptitet
- Henry Cow's Legend
- Univers Zero's Heresie
Space Rock
- Nektar's Remember the Future
- Island's Pictures

Not a big fan of neo-prog my self...
1. Symphonic
2. Fusion
3. Art Rock
4. Space Rock/Experimental
5. Prog Metal
Like others, genres seem useless to me. Just confuse the matter imo.

Symphonic all the way, baby!! Prog Metal kind of rules, though. Maybe you guys could describe my taste for me:
All Rush
early Yes (through Relayer)
Pink Floyd (DSOTM thru The Wall)
BSS era ELP
Red era King Crimson

For me, it's symphonic, mostly because some of my favourite prog bands
(Yes, Camel, Focus et al) are from that genre. I do like Art Rock a lot
too though.

I voted Zeuhl, but only because it's the only subgenre that really has a unifying sound (by which I mean, I don't see any other subgenre as "cohesive" enough to vote for it - I love Genesis but not all that much other sympho). Maybe Krautrock, too, but I don't much care for that.

With Slipknot? This is a joke, no?

nowadays it is neo prog, although usually it is symphonic rock.
i'm always hungry of neo prog. I think neo prog replaces women: it gives you emotions that you need!

We are all very fashion-conscious these days, but has anyone noticed that the Arsclets have been getting designer tips from the dashing, shed-dwelling Jesse? Centre Taliesin Selley has been looking particularly chic lately.
 Tal Selley says: "This season I 'ave been mostly wearing nipple clamps."

Should anyone happen to visit the village of Llanddewi Brefi, you might like to look up one of the locals. He won't mind. People are always looking up him.  Dafydd  A friend
