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

So other for me.

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...)
What?

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! Smile
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.

Classical, no doubt. But I do listen to some classic rock and jazzrock as well. I'm afraid I don't have a real broad taste.

The best prog is like Readers' Digest (listeners digest?): taking the best of the musical genres I like. For instance, it's very interesting to see the tastes of the Yes-men, when they mention their favourite music. Most of them listen to classical, jazz, rock, world music etc.

No votes for folk so far? I'm quite surprised...
 
By "folk" I mean here any ethnic music.
 
It doesn't mean, however, that I enjoy every ethnic music, on the contrary -- there are ethic tunes I just can't stand (Russian folk melodies and, especially, singing Dead, for example).
 
But thinking overall, folk seems to be a fair choice for me, especially keeping in mind my special attitude to some throat singing (Tuvan mainly...)

As someone else said before me, anything good, anything that floats my boat... Which rules out slushy melodic pop form any country in the world!LOL

I'm partial to basically anything from the late 60s/70s (aside from...The Osmands and such), so I'm a big fan of hard rock, early metal, singer-songwriter, jazzrock, blues...etc.  Many people lump these under "classic rock" so I'll vote for that one.  From the list, Alternative is the only one that doesn't always grab me, it's sort of hit or miss with a lot of pale imitators but still plenty of quality bands.
 
edit: I could have sworn classic rock was on thereConfused, hmm, I'll go with blues then...
