Do you listen more to recently discovered music?

Quite the same here.

No...mostly the old prog things....I do play Wobbler , IQ, PT and Wilson...but most of the prog and classic rock I play is older than 1980. I do find old retro things I missed back in the day and play them but it's older music and not new modern bands. I recently found an original vinyl of Titus Groan and Warm Dust-2nd lp,,,,of course those are old obscure prog things....so again it's old stuff.

I don't buy a lot of music these days, so most of what I listen to is stuff I've had on hand a while. So, say, 80% old, 20% new. Note that "old" here includes extreme technical metal and the like from the last ten years, and "new," obscure prog circa 1970.

2020 had not been a very good year for financial security. All my purchasing, even guitar effects, were re-prioritized.

I generally listen to prog all day on YouTube, and then listen to anything but prog all night on CD.

If I listen to it and I like it, it must be prog.

Quite the same here. Ditto. But I have to remark that the majority of "newly discovered" listens is due to the reviews, polls and feedback from this website. It's a remarkable group of people, and the varied insights have broadened my musical horizons.

I might add that, if the "new" music I happen to find is actually originally from the 70's, then it's more likely to end up being among the music I'll keep listening later on more regularly (or perhaps music from the 00's and 10's, but then that would be metal... or prog metal... or new music from the old guys, specially if they find their roots again).

^I say that life is too short to only listen to prog. A lot of music enjoy outside of prog for me.
