It always pains me to think that I have never heard a note from my favorite band. I just need to find them and replace my current favorite with them. Have to keep searching.

I'm always looking for more. If i didn't do that initially, i wouldn't have come across my favourite bands or even prog in the first place.

I can't  ,  well i try to listening to "new" albums for me in my IPOD in the trip to work, but i always have a dose of albums that i know for sure.
i think irt depends of your mood, sometimes you want to hear powerful music, and sometimes you want to hear delicate, acoustic and intimate songs, and sometimes you want to hear extreme metal music, and so on.
There's not a written rule to that.
don't worry about that and enjoy the music.!

I am always looking for more avant-garde, semi-rock ensembles which use non-standard rock instruments, with female singers who have either cute or vicious tendencies! ;P

I too love ELP and listen to them a lot. But I am always searching for new prog to fall in love with. I guess that's why we have Prog Archives. I use it a lot to find new stuff. That's what make life/prog so interesting. Always searching, always restless. (only 200 GB ? I got 450 GB.. )

I am constantly on the prowl for something new to add to my collection. I deal with the overdose by drinking more coffee. This helps me stay up until the wee hours of the night/morning listening to tunes. Hi, my name is Darklord, and I am a Progoholic.

I'm a "sound chaser." I'm always on the prowl for good music, old or new. But I do consider my Kansas, Yes, Genesis, etc. to be something of a "home base," where I can always feel safe and warm, and can walk around naked.

I have a lot of out of print material saved on a hard drive that I have yet to check out, and then several hundred LPs. On top of that there are hundreds/thousands more artists and albums that I would like to check out. I'm not old though so there is time. And I try to listen to the music any chance I get. Some get more attention than others though which is too bad, but it happens.
I also decided to be a bit more discriminatory. Not for everything, but I have a bunch of mediocre looking metal albums so when it comes to something along those lines I'll put it on the stereo and if it doesn't grab me I'll skip around a bit and then turn it off if it isn't worth my time. Unfortunately, there are more good ones to hear than bad/mediocre it seems.

Though i definitely listen my favorite bands on a regular basis (at least once a month, cuz i have a lot of fav bands), i usually listen to things that are unknown more frequently (its like, 60-50% of everything i listen is in my non-fav list and 40-50 is in my fav list). For example, today i listened 3 hours of my favorite bands and 5 hours of non-favorite bands, though i like everything i listen. However, there are stuff i just rarely listen. For example, my SBB albums are getting a bit dusty, maybe i should put them eventually, but i'm just not in the mood for SBB recently (i usually listen stuff depending on my mood).

My current way involves not giving mainstream stuff a second chance (either I love it or I don't) avoiding genres that I know will just waste my time (hip-hop, for example, sorry if there are any fans on here, it just doesn't appeal to me, I'm not saying it's bad), and skipping anything if the vocals, the lyrics (I'm a Leonard Cohen fan, so my standards are pretty scewed/high for both these) or guitar playing isn't interesting enough (that's assuming there are any of those in it).
These three things are pretty bad, I know, certainly doesn't show a lot of open-mindedness, but I will most generally make a big effort to listen more than once to the bands that nobody I know has ever heard of .
So yeah, I'm prejudiced and pretentious. But it works for me, right now. Even with these things I'm always on the verge of an overdose though, as there's a limited amount of time each that you can spend listening to music each day (there's this annoying thing called sleep that gets in the way), but I'm not going to stop finding out about music in general anyway.
