How often do you listen to the old classics like ItCotCK, CTTE, TAAB and DSotM, as examples?

Very rarely - less than once a year. After all, I have 3000 other CD albums to listen to as well as bazillions of albums online.

| Well, sometimes not once in months or perhaps a year, sometimes everyday... Really depends. |

Few times a year. Depends on the mood, and the need to go through a ton of other old and new choices. ------------- Welcome to the middle of the film. |

I listen to a lot of a kind of classic period music of a prog or prog related ilk -- late 60's, 70's and into the 80's -- but I'm not sure how many of those would be considered to be true classics (risking the no true Scotsman fallacy). I did listen to Pawn Hearts recently, and I would consider that suitable. And I listened again to Can's Tago Mago recently, if that counts. I return to KC fairly regularly, but not the debut. I still play old faves like Magma and Tangerine Dream quite regularly. I also listen to a lot of newer music and music that would not be deemed Prog. It depends on what is deemed a Prog classic. Most of the Prog classics are not ones that I would wish to return to much (especially since I'm not very big on Symphonic Prog and a lot of what people would think of as Prog classics tend to be of that ilk). Using these as examples, ItCotCK, CTTE, TAAB and DSotM, those are not ones that I would wish to return to except very occasionally. I'll say rarely. My preference generally tends to be for lesser known names and often ones that may be Prog by PA standards, but might not be considered as quintessentially Prog genre as others. It's an interesting question as it is open to some interpretation. ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

Occasionally. I spend more time listening to things I haven't heard before, especially newer releases. Though, oddly enough, I'm in the middle of a Rush marathon right now. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

Well, it sort of depends on what you mean. If you mean full albums beginning to end then Rarely as in, about or less than, once a year. If you mean songs from these albums then Occasionally as I have many songs from these albums on my iPod and hear them in shuffle rotation. ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

| All the time. The old time classics have a charm for me, and IO always find something special to enjoy. |

I like listening to new music constantly but there are bands I always return to and listen to a lot for a month or two every year or every couple of years. Floyd, Genesis, ELP, Yes, etc. Those are among my favorite and among the ones I listen to the most. ------------- I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place |

Occasionally, I listen to a lot of old prog but I'm so familiar with the classics I spend more time listening to stuff that's new to me or I'm less familiar with.

| All the time, actually. I do like and listen to some more recent stuff, or some not prog stuff, but I always come back to the classics of prog. And I didn't even grow up listening to that stuff, I found it until my 20's, but still there's something that sounds more unique and time lasting. |

| Occasionally. Classics are classics for a reason and it's good to return to them every now and then. |

| Of the ones mentioned I still like to catch up on them because they're superb pieces of Art. Unfortunately I don't play them much these days because there's so much other music that I haven't heard before that I have to catch up with first. |

As for most 60/70's music I knew back then, rarely (less than once a year for sure), cos I know them by heart and don't feel the need to replay them. I've also got so much other stuff to listen to and so little time to indulge (would need a second lifetime) ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

i don't listen very much to music these days, but occasionally I give an old classic a spin. -------------

| I'm probably somewhere between "occasionally" and "all the time", depending on your definitions. I reckon I have a Yes, Genesis or ELP day at least once every couple of months if not more. |

occasionally these days, I played them a lot, so some of them are nostalgia listens.

I'm in the "rarely" class myself. Even when I start off listening to old Genesis, Yes, et al, I quickly loose interest. An exception would be listening to "Echoes" from Meddle, or the entire Lizard album from KC. ------------- This message was brought to you by a proud supporter of the Deep State. |

I listen to certain classics every month: Close To The Edge, Foxtrot, Thick As A Brick, etc. About 75% of my listening time is devoted to new music but that other 25% belongs to the 70s. ------------- The Prog Corner |

None of these choices. I'd say pretty frequently (so more than occasionally), but I also list a lot to more modern prog, so not "all the time". Today's plays have been Shattered Image by La Tulipe Noire (one of the best albums I've discovered in years) Second Life Syndrome by Riverside and The Visitor by Arena, but I've also given Moonmadness by Camel and The Tain by Horslips a spin. ------------- A TVR is not a car.

I mostly listen to the old prog classics when I am on a long road trip by myself. We live in the Western USA, and some of our scenery is amazingly beautiful!! It is perfect for TFTO, CTTE etc. I dubbed this rock formation "Giants Under the Sun!"  ------------- I am not a Robot, I'm a FREE MAN!! |

I will lean more to All The Time, not sure how to quantify Occasionally. I listen to the old guard more than Occasionally. Great progressive rock is great progressive rock anytime. -------------

Yeah, I'm with the majority here: Occasionally. I adore the classic acts and albums (and do on occasion trot them out for a listen), but I'm simply overwhelmed by all of the bands and albums I feel I need to catch up on/with. At this point I'm experiencing what could be called "Option Anxiety"!

Between occasionally and all the time. Listen to classic prog always brings something new for me. -------------

That's roughly my ratio. But a lot of that 70's music isn't CTTE, Foxtrot and TAAB.
