I am a big fan of progressive fusion (HTM (yes, in my book they are "melodic prog-fusion with symphonic tendencies" ), KBB, Kenso, Dixie Dregs) and space fusion (Ozric Tentacles, Hidria Spacefolk).
I love some killer virtuoso guitar driven instrumental rock/metal-fusion (Joel Hoekstra, Steve Vai, Steve Morse, Fourth Estate, Planet X).
Hey, I like some pure fusion as well! (Metro, Uzeb).

I also like a lot of stuff that can be linked to avant/RIO (Thinking Plague, Birdsongs Of The Mesozoic, Ahvak, 5uu's, The Science Group, Univers Zero), an "un-easy music", so to speak. ;D

A lot of great symphonic releases are out there of course, but this style is a bit "overdone", for the lack of a better term. I think the same can be applied to "neo"...

I am a sucker for a good quality progressive pop (I won't list any bands/artists here for the sake of not shocking you! ;D).
I love some pure electronic/trance stuff... (Shpongle anyone? )
Honestly I never was a big fan of Canterbury, though I have some stuff that I like very much (National Health, Bruford).

And I am very confused with the term "art". What bands play "art"? I always thought that progressive music IS art by itself, isn't it?...

Hello!

I would like to add that my favorite prog styles are symphonic and space.
Groups like Hawkwind, Happy The Man (of course), Gong, ELP, Yes, Gabriel era Genesis, King Crimson, Camel and others from the dinosaur age have graced my turntables many times!

I also love the more recent sounds of Anglagard, Ayreon, Flower Kings, The Gathering, Neal Morse and the other fresh sprouts from progs fertile ground!

I dearly love fusion/prog/jam bands new and old! Groups like Brand X, Ozric Tentacles, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return To Forever, Planet X and Dkam Karet fill that void rather nicely.

But, since I am a moody person, I really can't choose any one style as an all time favorite! ;D

Actually that's what I wanted to say as well. I have no preferences style wise. I may prefer some bands/artists of a certain style to bands/artists of another style and vice versa, but that's about it.

Yep, same over here. Although I love the progressive jazz-rock/fusion the most, my collection contains all kinds of styles, which I do love when I'm in the mood. Singer-songwriters (old, like Nick Drake, and new, like Tom McRea), nu-jazz (Jaga Jazzist, Nils Petter Molvær), classical (Philip Glass, Stravinsky, John Adams, Steve Reich, Satie), old prog, jazz-rock, pop (although not the top 40-stuff, but when it does hit the charts it's mostly months after I bought it), folk, world.... even silence

I do also listen to classical music such as Mozart and Stravinsky. I can really recommend Mozart´s all masses and choir music if you like dark but yet beautiful music. Requiem is one of my favourite works of the brilliant composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Do you hear some Stravinsky in some of the early HTM compositions like I do?
