I don't focus too much on what category what I listen to may or may not belong in. I don't suddenly stop listening to a body of things that might or might not be considered to belong or not belong any particular genre. I consider XTC to crossover prog BTW.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Ditto x4 I listen to all sorts of different music pretty much every day, I never really feel the need to lock into a genre or a band unless I prepping for a concert or festival. My tastes within prog are broad enough that I could happily stay within prog and still be plenty varied enough if I ever felt the need. It's more mood driven than anything else.

I do take a break from prog. I always like listening to good pop like XTC, Crowded House, Split Enz, the Beatles, Travis or Keane.

A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

When you love so many musical genres, you never get bored of music... |

You're still quotable Snowy!
(I love the Smiths though and don't understand Suede)
In addition, even if you only listened to stuff of this site there is a HUGE variety. Lots of metal stuff that I don't touch. A lot of the Krautrock touches on Pop. Many of the older bands (Genesis Yes Supertramp) are often pop. And the Canterbury scene goes from one extreme to the other.

I get sick of everything after a while. That's why my posts get spotty. I have a bad habit of being really into something specific for a few months at a time (or less) and then my mind is onto something else.
It allows me to cover a lot of ground in music, movies, comic books. But something like genre books (fantasy, sci-fi, classic literature, biography), if I take too long a break from reading, I loose interest. There's too many things in this world.

It's funny how the colors of the real world only seem really real when you viddy them on the screen.

I like other genres like jazz and trance/electronica. But prog reigns as the best genre. For me there's never too much prog

a good resource for metal recommendations is the forum at metalmusicarchives.com and for hip-hop the obvious answer is dälek

I often throw in non-prog into my listening mix. 80's synth pop/new wave (The Cars, Police, The Fixx, Duran Duran, Talking Heads, etc.), classic rock (David Bowie, Queen, Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship, Hot Tuna, Blue Oyster Cult, The Grateful Dead, The Beatles), and some straight up metal (Black Sabbath, Rainbow, AC/DC, Judas Priest, etc.).
I know some of these are classified as Related on this site, and I don't dispute that but since they're not full-on prog, I included them as non-prog.

I think you either loved or hated The Smiths, with not much in between. What I do hate is that God-Awful cover that's been released to tie in with a Christmas advertising campaign. Ouch

Yes. Sometimes I change prog by other music styles. AOR (Boston, Toto, Alan Parsons, Mike&Mechanics) or Synth Pop (New Order, Duran Duran, A-Ha, Talk Talk, Orchestral Manouevres in the Dark)
This allows me to clear my prog mind on several occasions

I love The Smiths - everything they made from their self-titled debut up to Strangeways is just wonderful  |
