I made a clusterfugg just now and deleted it, but I'll keep it short and sweet this time:
Ages 5-11: Christian rock>Pop-punk>Classic rock>Radiohead Ages 11+: >everything else.
Which excludes many important stages in my musical development, but whatever.

This is something I like to talk about.
When I was a kid I listened mostly to 70s and 80s pop rock tunes. My favorites were Journey, Twisted Sister, Survivor, Asia, Scorpions and Queen.
Then between 9-12 years old I turned to melodic instrumental music. Mostly classical inspired stuff.
After that I started listening to more traditional rock again. I came back to listening to Queen a lot and also Genesis because my father had a lot of albums from these two. A classmate recommended Dream Theater to me and I liked them too, and I noticed I was enjoying this "prog" thing a lot.
So I went to the "classics" like Rush, King Crimson, ELP etc. Which is basically where I am now.

As a teenager, I listened to mostly heavy metal - well, back then we called it heavy metal, nowadays you might hear it in a dentist's office! Motley Crue, Twisted Sister, Ratt, Scorpions, Black Sabbath, etc.
But then when I started playing bass guitar, I found the bass parts in a lot of this music was uninteresting (nothing wrong with that, though...it's appropriate for the context). Anyways, I started listening to Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and Frank Zappa; somehow this led to me getting neck-deep into fusion: Return To Forever, Bruford, Brand X, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Eleventh House, Weather Report, that kind of stuff. I would read interviews with guys like Larry Coryell and Chick Corea and they would mention dudes like Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, John Coltrane, etc.
So the first two jazz albums I bought were Kind of Blue (Miles Davis) and Ah Um (Charles Mingus). So at that point, I was hooked on mainstream jazz. Going to college for music exposed me to horn players who recommended all kinds of cool funk. Here's where I learned about bass players who use a 'sixteenth note fingerstyle funk' technique - Rocco Prestia, Chuck Rainey, Jerry Jemmott, Paul Jackson, Jaco Pastorius, etc. I also got a lot into latin jazz - Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Tito Puente, Johnny Pacheco, Dave Valentin.
It's only in the last few years that I've gotten into prog, I'm not sure why. As a bass player, I've always been aware of Yes and Rush of course. I think it's might've started when I bought some older Genesis albums.

Mostly Beatles as a kid. Then, as a teenager, I got reacquainted with the Rolling Stones, Simon & Garfunkel and Credence Clearwater Revival. I got into more classic rock such as Jimi Hendrix, The Who, The Doors, Cream and David Bowie. I got into Jefferson Airplane and The Grateful Dead, but dropped them as soon as I found Syd-era Pink Floyd (I just got back into the Dead recently). Then a hipster phase with Syd's Floyd, Frank Zappa, The Velvet Underground and Love, only to break out of it with Emerson Lake and Palmer and Deep Purple, picking up on Black Sabbath and King Crimson along the way.
Nowadays, I just pick up whatever perks up my interest at random.
