Symphonic, but lately I've been branching out and listening to some music of other genres like:
Psychedelic / Space Rock Jazz Fusion Canterbury Scene Post Rock
Who knows, in a year or two symphonic might not be my favorite anymore.

I adore symphonic prog and progressive metal equally. Next is art rock and psychedelic/space rock. Don't know much about RIO/Avant-prog, but I like Frank Zappa.

I'm going to be buying one or two albums from these bands (most likely):
- Absolute Zero
- Ahvak
- Alamaailman Vasarat
- The Residents
- Samla Mammas Manna
- Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
- Thinking Plague
- Univers Zero
- Far Corner
- Miriodor
I may have forgotten a few. Those are just off the top of my head. I'm grabbing a bunch of other stuff too. I may have to buy them over a period of time though.

I think that's a harder question than what is your favourite band, nonetheless I think symphonic prog and variants is what I enjoy the most.

Surprisingly perhaps, I enjoy Space Prog, Symphonic and neo about the same, but I respect all genres (except for Mike Patton ).

I don't think this is going to be a big surprise. But it is very close between RIO/avant, Kraut, and Italian prog.

Hmm, Prog Metal's probably number 1....
number 2 would be psychedelic, and number 3 symphonic...

Experimental, Jazzrock/Fusion, Krautrock, Psych/Space Rock
Used to love Postrock until it got hijacked by all the sickening indie/emo kids.....those curious stick to Tortoise, Labradford and Mogwai (up to EP from 99). though Mono (Japan) is pretty decent too.

Canterbury *****
RIO/Avant ***(*)
Prog Metal **(*)
Italian Prog *****
Zeuhl *****

Doesn't make much sense to look at. I just thought of the number of bands I like or dislike in every genre.

Symphonic would me my top. I consider it in the same category, but Italian Symphonic is quickly gaining ground, and may become no. 1. Zeuhl is also a new passion. The only one I generally don't care for is prog metal.
