I guess I'm a bit 50/50. I'd like to finish my Dream Theater collection someday, and I always try to get the latest release by the bands I love the most, but lately now I've been experimenting more, and the more I get the more I realize I have been missing so much good music. In the past year, I've gotten the newest releases by Meshuggah, Opeth, and The Mars Volta, and the last few albums I got were "Lift your Skinny Fists like Antennae to Heaven", "Tubular Bells", and "In the Court of the Crimson King", and I am eagerly anticipating the release of "Traced in Air". The thing is, these bands and even more other bands i'm hoping to listen to are part of the biggest groups of prog, and compared to the people who say they have barely scratched the surface, I have barely heard as much as they have.
 
It makes me so happy that there's much more to explore.

To some extent I have favorite artists, but I was never a fanboy of anything.
The old Dream Theater, Yes, Genesis etc records........ it's still cool, but I want to hear what else is out there.

Tomorrow belongs to those who can hear it coming...
 
I would say that roughly a dozen bands never leave my play-area - there's always a Pink Floyd, Anathema, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Tori Amos, Mike Oldfield, Opeth, Peter Gabriel/Genesis, Peter Hammill/VdGG, Philip Glass, Renaissance, Tangerine Dream or Cure album within a few feet of my CD player at any one time - a week will not pass without hearing something from at least one of those artists, usually more. Another 100 are perhaps a few yard from that epicentre: Dream Theater, Paradise Lost, Steve Wilson/Porcupine Tree, Yes, Bauhaus, David Silvian/Japan, Sparks, Moody Blues, Deep Purple, Pain Of Salvation etc. will also get a regular listen.
 
Considering that those artists have probably produced over 500 albums between them I could practically survive on those for some considerable time.
 
Yet I don't - I'm always dipping into the past for something 'different' and 'obscure' to listen to and into the present for something I've never heard before. I constantly search for new music to hear, looking for the next band to join the list, or the next release from an existing favourite... ever hoping that the next CD will be the tomorrow's Close To The Edge, Thick As A Brick, Selling England By The Pound or Wish You Were Here. 
 
That is the nature of my 'addiction' to music, the bane of my bank-balance and the curse of my storage issues. I've never bought an album and listened to it just once -  even the direst, most derivative, slice of dullsvile trash gets at least two spins before falling to the bottom of the heap - and even then, in a few years it may get played again just to confirm my original thoughts.
 
What?

Frankly, I'm more interested in seeking out new favorites than staying with the old. On Last.fm, my no. 1 artist is Frank Zappa with 359 plays out of 26027 in total. 'Nuff said. Embarrassed

I'm sure it'll even out later in life, but as of now, I'm still naive enough to believe that there's too much good music out there to restrict yourself to the bands you discovered at 15.

I´m always tryin´ some new bands as well as I´m always playin´ some of my beloved classics.
The virtue is in the middle
The water rushes over all
cities crash in the mighty wave;
the final man is very small,
plunging in for his final bathe

I think I'm more of a fan of bands than genres. I rather listen to every album from a band I discover and really like than listen to 25 different albums from 25 different bands in a certain genre. This probably makes me a lot less rounded than I could be in terms of prog knowledge, but it never was a contest anyways. It also helps me from downloading more music than I can handle at once.
