Brass band closely followed by classical (Baroque more accurately) so I voted for other.

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Well, it might not be "cool" to say this here, but prog is far from being my first priority in music.
I have a fair number of (mostly) classic prog albums, sure, but they are greatly out-numbered by my classic rock (and classic prog is really just a sub-type of classic rock, IMO), pop/new wave and folk/Celtic stuff.
You'll also find plenty of jazz, fusion, blues, classical, baroque, medieval, and even some country and bluegrass in my collection.
Heck, my Neil Young collection, at some 30 CDs, roughly equals my Genesis, Yes, ELP, Gentle Giant & Crimson combined.
I am much more of a music fan than just a prog fan. Good music is good music -- categories and pigeon holes be damned!

I like this attitude...prog has enough to offer that many often forget all the great stuff that is out there. I've recently caught up with some old favorites such as folk and blues and had forgotten how much I loved the music after a long prog-only period. When you mix things up every so often and visit new things, the old favorites sound even better...and fresh when you come back to them.
btw, good to see a Neil Young fan on here - I'm only really familiar with the early stuff including Springfield and CSNY...what I've heard is great. Expecting to Fly and Sugar Mountain are beautiful pieces of songwriting.

I would say Prog-Related, since there is a fair degree of prog crossover in most of the music I like...
Gothic ... and not just good old fashioned Fields of The Nephilim style goth-rock or All About Eve Gothic Folk Rock, but anything gothic-tinged from Neoclassical and Ethereal, through Dreampop and Darkwave to EBM, Industrial and Gothic Metal...
After that, Anything epic, which probably explains my guilty secret liking of female Power Ballads and Torch songs in general. (Bonnie Tyler, Heart, Pat Benatar, Laura Branigan...)

90's Emo and Shoegaze. And some arty Indie, though I also enjoy the more straight forward stuff.
