Don't know if this has been done before but it seems an interesting one for me and a nice challenge for anyone to put the 21 sub genres (actually 22 categories but various is not really a genre of course) of our site in order of your preference/taste. And to add another aspect to it you can name the band you think is significant for the genre. This doesn't have to be the best or biggest or your most favourite band but it's supposed to be the band that fits the sub genre the best (in your opinion of course). Good Luck. And if you think this is (too) hard you can check your profile(the pie), this could lead you the way ! Oh and also have a look in the different subgenres. For the bands and just to learn more about them. Really interesting way to check out and contingently listen stream songs !
Btw I will give the example:
1. Neo Progressive (Satellite)
2. Prog metal (Threshold)
3. Symphonic Prog (Yes)
4. Heavy Prog (Tiles)
5. Psychedelic/Space (Ozric Tentacles)
6. Jazz Rock/Fusion (Brand X)
7. Prog related (Led Zeppelin)
8. Crossover (Moody Blues)
9. Progressive electronic (Tangerine Dream)
10. Canterbury Scene (Caravan)
11. Proto-prog (Procol Harum)
12. Tech/extreme prog metal (Meshuggah)
13. Prog Folk (Jethro Tull)
14. Indo-prog/Raga Rock (?)
15. Experimental/post metal (Anathema)
16. Post Rock/Math Rock (Sigur Ros)
17. Krautrock (Can)
18. Eclectic prog (VanderGraaf Generator)
19. Italian Symphonic Prog (PFM)
20. RIO Avant-prog (Frank Zappa)
21. Zeuhl (Magma)
I hope we can keep things civilized. This is not about loving or hating sub genres and to kick each others *ss. Just to give a view on each members' taste/preferences/order of sub genres. ------------- A day without prog is a wasted day |

Too much like hard work, but my reviews have covered most of them and they go in this order:
Which is a pretty good approximation, except that Zeuhl would be joint first with RIO. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

1. Tech/Extreme Prog Metal
2. Experimental/Post Metal
3. Eclectic Prog

6. Symphonic Prog

Sorry for the links that go nowhere, I copy-pasted this from Word and don't know how to get rid of them. As for Italian Symph, I have no idea where to put this; I'm not really familiar with even one band from the genre, but to me it just seems like Symphonic Prog like any other. |

1. Eclectic prog (Gentle Giant) 2. Symphonic Prog (Yes) 3. Prog Folk (Jethro Tull) 4. Prog metal (Tool) 5. Heavy Prog (Rush)
6. Psychedelic/Space (Floyd) 7. Prog related (Led Zeppelin)
8. Crossover (Roger Waters ?)
9. Canterbury Scene (Caravan)
10. Tech/extreme prog metal (Opeth)
11. Experimental/post metal (65 Days Of Static) To be honest its Just a load of Symphonic and Eclectic bands, all the obvious ones Crimson, Gensesis etc, then the Bands in brackets but not the genre. Basically I only like Symphonic prog and Eclectic prog, then some 10 or something other bands that are a different bit of prog. My two favourite bands Are Gentle Giant and Jethro Tull, but Floyd, Genesis, Crimson, Yes, Rush, ELP and Camel are up there too, then Tool and Mars Volta. ------------- Let the maps of war be drawn !

* I hope everyone realises that we are all working on cracking the Prog Code here. Once all of these genres have been slotted into the sequence that everyone agrees is the correct harmonic order then the Universe will be de-stabilised and the secrets of the Prog will be unlocked for all the world to marvel at. The Prog battalions will rise up: Neo will join forces with Zeuhl; Extreme Tech Metal will meld with Symphonic and Eclectic Prog, Math Rock will form an alliance with Prog Related, Proto Prog will realise it is really only Space/Psyche; Crossover will crossover to Post Metal; Heavy will form an alliance with Electronic; Krautrock will form a triumvirate with Prog Metal and Jazz Rock/Fusion and Canterbury will be twined with Rome (meanwhile... Raga will be a conscientious objector). Together we shall cross the Main stream and march upon the plains of popular music crushing all in our path to the mighty blast of 21st Century Schizoid Man from our super-charged iPods... ....Universal World Domination will be ours.

Oh, I just wrote my favorite band from each genre. Wouldn't pick Catherine Ribeiro, as the most representative although she's my favorite in psych/space. She might as well have been in Progfolk. Neither is Soft Machine the most fitting Canterbury band. ------------- 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 |

I am. Love The Pentangle. The not so high placing on my list has more to do with quantity than quality. Progfolk, like Zeuhl is not a very big genre. But I really love, Roy Harper, Pearls Before Swine, The Pentangle, Spirogyra, Conventum, Woven Hand, Ragnarok, Ptarmigan, Jan Dukes Degrey, Comus, Hoelderlin mm... Check out http://sool4jo.tistory.com/search/extradition - Extradition (you can stream the full album). A band I suggested for adding once (but nothing happened).

You'll only get a top 10 from me, since I'm not very familiar with a lot of the remaining subs. Wouldn't be fair to list them. And I'll exclude Proto-Prog and Prog Related as well, just so you know. Call me grumpy, but I'll add today's favourite ALBUM as a bonus  1. Italian (Semiramis - Dedicato A Frazz) 2. Eclectic (King Crimson - Lizard) 3. Symphonic (Yes - Close To The Edge (pfft!)) 4. Crossover (Supertramp - Crime Of The Century) 5. Heavy (Rush - A Farewell To Kings) 6. Folk (Strawbs - Hero and Heroine) 7. Canterbury (National Health - s/t) 8. Space/psych (Eloy - Dawn) 9.

The recommendation must have gotten lost somewhere. Prog Folk doesn't have the most organized team here - those guys are totally irresponsible Anyway, I'm checking out the album now - sounds promising enough; I'll add it to the consideration list and see what some of the other collabs think.

 )1.
   RIO/Avant-Prog
Jazz Rock/Fusion (Mahavishnu Orchestra)
Prog Folk (Jethro Tull)
Canterbury Scene (Soft Machine, Gong)
Krautrock (Can) Art Rock/Eclectic Prog (King Crimson)
2.
   Heavy Prog (Rush)

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.

indeed, you are!
ah! A French guy, who simply doesn't bash Jean Michel Jarre  (let philippe not hear this . 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 slam !)OK, I know you're not exactly French, but at least your native language is, and that's my point
I beg to differ (so will each estimable member of the RPI team )... 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 ? 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  )Zeuhl (the obvious choice!) Symphonic (Yes) Canterbury (Soft Machine, Caravan... I regard Gong more "space" than Canterbury) Heavy (Deep Purple... yes, them !)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 ... no offense 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 )------------- 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!) |
