BQ: As of right now, thrash.

BQ2: Get sick of all the division and needless arguing, but I know politics are important.

I don't know about them being unknown, as I listen to mostly mainstream pop (popular) music, but i'll give it a shot.

Progressive Metal: Not a big fan of this genre. I would go with Tool and Opeth, even though I think Opeth isn't 100% prog metal. And for tool, i'm not a huge fan of them anyways.

Progressive Rock: Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Can and Jethro Tull

Thrash Metal: Like I stated above, i'm not a huge fan of metal. Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer (not a huge fan of Slayer)

Hard Rock: Not a big fan of hard rock either, but Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, The Stooges (Punk & Hard Rock) and Rainbow

Classic Rock: that's not a genre of music

Jazz Fusion: Miles Davis, Frank Zappa, Herbie Hancock and Soft Machine.

Stone Rock/Metal: Kyuss & Queens Of The Stone Age

Psychedelic Rock/Space Rock: Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Can, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Flaming Lips, Spiritualized, Deerhunter, Jefferson Airplane & Spacemen 3

Doom Metal: Sorry, not a fan. Does Opeth count, though?

Post-Rock: Sigur Ros, Explosions In the Sky, Mogwai, Slint, Talk Talk, GSY!BE, Swans,

Neurosis, Tortoise and etc.

BQ: In this order: 1.) Post Rock, 2.) Progressive Rock and 3.) Psychedelic Rock

BQ2: Concerned about them, but it's always been like that. It will get better than worse but ultimately, i'm sure we'll prevail. Just gotta say optimistic and compromise

I suck at genres, but I'll give it a shot...

Progressive Metal - Can't say too much about it, I like Opeth and I would classify Beardfish's last album The Void as progressive metal.

Progressive Rock - Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, etc. for the popular, Italian prog bands like Il Paese Dei Balocchi, Quella Vecchia Locanda, Campo di Marte, etc. for unknown.

Classic Rock - Beatles, The Kinks, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Rolling Stones, etc.

Jazz Fusion - Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Soft Machine; Cos, Hatfield and the North, Pekka Pohjola

Psychedelic/Space Rock - Pink Floyd, Hawkwind, Gong; Kingston Wall, My Brother the Wind, Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come, Yatha Sidhra

Post-Rock/Metal - maudlin of the Well, My Sleeping Karma, Future Kings of England

That's pretty much all I got.

BQ: I guess progressive rock.

BQ2: Sad but unrealistically optimistic.

BQ: Progressive Metal (at the moment)

BQ2: I have my opinions, but I have learned to keep it to myself if I want to have friends. But I also respect others opinions and don't argue with them (unless they are stupid and dont know what the hell they are talking about) I vote like I feel I should, people dont influence my choices.

Sorry if i made mistakes in the classification..m not too good with genres..

BA : Tough to say..i mean..my favourite type of music would be a mixture of prog metal + your last 5 genres. There are quite a few bands that fall in that category..not entirely..but quite close..like Agalloch, Deathspell Omega, Primordial, OM, Negura Bunget etc..and then i also like those bands that i mentioned under 'prog metal'..so my fav genres would be :

Prog Metal (fusion of eastern influences in a big plus!)

Technical Prog Death Metal

Prog Black Metal (i like some folk fused too)

Post Rock / Metal (I'm starting to really enjoy this style)

BA2 : I dont like talking about it too much..

Psychadelic Rock --- popular - Beatles, unknown - Tame Impala

Classic Rock --- popular - Led Zeppelin, unknown - Cheap Trick

Well, I'm big on death metal and deathcore... Not sure if you'll be into it, but give these bands a shot.

Popular: Whitechapel, Born of Osiris, Veil of Maya

Unknown: After the Burial, Oceano, The Plot in You
