When it comes to the rest of the sub genres I don't like them at all, though I feel no need to either bash them or just pile them up... it just wouldn't be fair, not for the bands and not for their fans.

To be honest, I'm not familiar with a lot of the genres on here. I'm generally a lover of all music and especially of all prog music. I know for a fact I'm totally in love in Prog Metal, but other that I wouldn't know what to list where. I probably listen to a lot of bands that cover the different sub-genres, but don't know who's classed as what, and it seems a lot of hassle to research it all.

Great! Send me a pm when its up, will you?
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

ah! A French guy, who simply doesn't bash Jean Michel Jarre Tongue (let philippe not hear this Wink. I agree with him on many Kraut/Electronic views, but I'm also a big fan of JMJ, as well as Vangelis, both of whom he never misses a chance to slamOuch!)

OK, I know you're not exactly French, but at least your native language is, and that's my point Tongue

I beg to differ (so will each estimable member of the RPI team Wink)... RPI (note that the "symphonic" moniker is nothing but a mistake, in defining the genre's name!) is as much a "genre" as Krautrock, or Canterbury, both of which I love deeply. Of course, I like RPI (as much as I find a chance to hear), too!

your list is quite close to what I have in mind, yet, I'll probably come up with a version which has some prominent differences...

Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)

1. Krautrock (Ash Ra Tempel / Ashra / Manuel Göttsching)
2. Krautrock (Amon Düül II)
3. Krautrock (Can)
OK. is that unortodox enough Wink? so let's get serious...

Eclectic Prog (a nose ahead, just for the sake of the King... Crimson! + VdGG)
Prog Electronic (Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze)
Psychedelic Prog (just look at my title LOL)
Zeuhl (the obvious choice!)
Symphonic (Yes)
Canterbury (Soft Machine, Caravan... I regard Gong more "space" than Canterbury)
Heavy (Deep Purple... yes, them Tongue!)
J/R-Fusion (Mahavishnu)
Folk Prog (Traffic... not Jethro!)
Crossover (Supertramp)
Indo-Raga (Kalacakra... and just them!)
Post Rock (GY!BE)
Neo (Marillion & IQ only)
RIO-Avant (not because I don't like it, but that I didn't have chance to hear much stuff...)
...and others that I practically don't give a da*n Ouch... no offense TongueLOL

p.s. IMHO Proto-Prog & Prog Related are not progressive rock subgenres per se, and I prefer to evaluate every band under these headings by the closest possible sub, i.e. Psych for Doors (that's what exactly they are!), Heavy Prog for Deep Purple, Sabbath, Zeppelin, and Symphonic or Crossover for Queen (I mean, their proggiest period, not their sh*tty post-'75 stuff Wink)
