About 30 per cent is prog, mostly 70s European groups in the symphonic prog and fusion genres, the rest is classical music, mainly symphonic works of the Classical and Romantic, and Modern (20th Cent.) periods, along with other orchestral music, piano concertos and piano sonatas from the same periods.
Quite a bit of my classical collection are what are known as "Historical recordings", those recorded before 1960.

Probably 50/50 methinks. Krautrock, Progressive Electronic, Psych, Avant and RPI use up a lot of space in my apartment. Then again so does everything else labelled electronic, funk, 60s rock, punk, post-punk, Motown, hip hop, jazz and everything else under the sun (Romanian folk album included). All those LPs and CDs are of course shuffled together like a big tumultuous set of cards so as Amon Düül ll and Bob Dylan get to stand neck and neck...... just like Wu-Tang Clan and Lynyrd Skynyrd do.
Is there a method to the madness? Nah not really. Every search for an album is an adventure in itself.

Before I discovered progarchives in 2006 and progstreaming later on it was probably on the upper end of 60-80%. Probably close to 90% now. Jazz and classical come in a distant second and third.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Over 50% only if you count proto-prog and prog-related, which i have in abundance. 20-30% if you don't include those. The balance is hard rock/heavy metal, recent indie rock, blues, pop and jazz, likely in that order.

|
More heavy prog, please!

I'd say about 80% as long as we count Zappa, Henry Kaiser and other Avant as Prog. Is Steve Vai's album, Flexable, Prog? Other things I have are stuff other Prog fans would typically like. I was just listening to Shawn Phillips (folk) last night. Some pure Jazz like Brubeck. I'm sometimes unsure whether some Jazz-Rock Fusion is Prog or not.

CD's: Probably around 30% I guess - almost as much again classical...
LP's: maybe 40/50% or thereabouts - my LP collection is rather like a time capsule, accumulated many years ago but rarely added to in recent times... |

87% prog, the balance very close to progressive standards (creative synthpop, electronica, rock and jazz)
|
|

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

around 30%
most of our library is in the area of classical music (around 40%). about 20% are in the area of jazz. then there is some normal rock and some ethnic music, around 5% each. that seems to add up to 100%, but these are not exact figures. there are some odd albums which hardly fir anywhere. all in all there are about 5000 albums in our collection. most of them are stored on computer meanwhile Edited by BaldJean - November 01 2015 at 04:53 |
