You forgot a lot in your list. Classic Rock, New Wave, Punk, Country (not that I'm a fan of the latter two, but you forgot them anyway). I would say classic rock, followed closely by new wave, then metal, folk and jazz.
Oh and you also forgot Reggae and Gregorian Chant.  ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

Prog isn't really my 1st priority... All of the genres I listen to are pretty much in the same level as prog, even though I have more prog in my collection than anything else... Still I hold the other genres I listen to in the same level as prog when talking about priority in music. EDIT: I have to stop repeating myself! -------------

Outside of prog my main intrests right now are in (non-prog) experimental and avant-garde musics that somtimes can fall inside the listed genres. Some of these musical movments include minimalism, indie-experimental, no wave, noise, all kinds of free improv and electroacoustic. ------------- who hiccuped endlessly trying to giggle but wound up with a sob |

Its interesting when I first joined the sight there was a poll like this going around back then I picked metal, It's interesting to think how much PA has changed my musical taste even outside of prog. ------------- who hiccuped endlessly trying to giggle but wound up with a sob |

I like a lot of that as well as a lot of instrumental DJ music from the mid 90s, DrumnBass, acid jazz, hip-hop from the late 80s, 70s funk, Dub Reggae, early 80s California hardcore punk, Indian music, mid 20th century French neo-classical. There is so much good music out now, considering past and future, that you can't get all of it anymore. |

| I was thinking... My top priority goes between prog and jazz. However, I listen to prog mostly, and if that was the measure, then my 2nd priority would be pop-rock. So basically I take prog as my premier because it's what I liten to all the time. Then I take jazz as my second because it's what I want to listen to, it's what I play, and it's what I like more than what I listen to... does that make sense? |

That's something you should change. There is some really phenomenal classical music out there. Which is why that's my 2nd priority. Stravinsky is one of my favourites now. |

| Hmmm... hard to say. I'm not sure if prog is at the top of my list, tho' it's the genre I know the most 'bout. These days I find myself exploring wealths of avant-garde music, from noise to EAI to drone to free-folk. This also is the sort of music I'm actively listening to in the live domain. |

Jazz, probably because I think jazz titles are second in number to prog titles. A lot of other artists that may or may not belong here, but aren't. That amorphous group might outnumber the jazz titles.

Classical, Jazz, Alternative rock, classic rock. All the stuff I listen to in minority, but woul take priority in the absence of prog. What makes prog awesome is that it incorporates elements of all the different genres I like.

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 there  , hmm, I'll go with blues then...------------- Signature Writers Guild on strike |

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
 , 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...)

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. |

 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! ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |

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? |
