I never spend a single day listening to only one kind of music.

And yes, there is a lot of good music outside prog (I like the following genres : synth-pop, punk, hardcore, ska, reggae, traditional metal, extreme metal, early hip hop, folk, blues (all eras), jazz (all eras), country (all eras), bluegrass, tango, fado, chaabi, flamenco, ambient, electronic, chanson française, AOR, gothic rock, post-punk, afrobeat, mbalax, fulani, qawali, heavenly, shoegaze, juju music, funk, soul, industrial, doo-wop, trip hop, psychedelic rock, rock'n'roll/rockabilly, sunshine pop, sefardic songs, classical music (all eras from early to contemporary), traditional music of central Europe countries (Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania), traditional music of mapuche ethnical group, some electronica and many more I can't think of right now).

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!!!

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 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...

I have an exstremely wide range of musical tastes, so prog is not the only stuff i listen to.

I listen to lots of other genres (mainly folk/Celtic like Runrig, Clannad, Capercaillie and also US acts such as Springsteen, Petty, Toto, Fleetwood Mac and the like). But I always come back to prog.

prog has always been my main source of enjoying music, but there is so much other genres can offer. so regularly I turn to fusion, blues rock, west coast, classical and folk. actually I don't care  about genres, I just want to hear good music!

Yes, I tire of it sometimes, which I can do for all the various genres and sub-genres I listen to.  Fortunately, with a large and eclectic collection, I have no lack of listening material.  The biggest challenge is often choosing something in particular!

As a ressult of this, I have decided to go off prog for a month or so in order to expose myself to other genres of music (specifically Heavy Metal and Hip-Hop).
 
Have any of you ever felt the need to "quit" prog for a while?
I don't think too much in the genre that I listen to... I just pick up the album I feel it's right for the current day, no matter it's soft rock, heavy metal, thrash, alternative or grunge. But, sometimes I surprise myself that I have weeks  without hearing any prog at all. 

And it's OK, don't make a rule, just enjoy the music as you feel well and you'll be fine. 

For instance, I'm hearing Jazz right now... Imagine that... I, Jampa hearing jazz... Shocked

But I'm enjoying it... 
Change the program inside... Stay in silence is a crime.

I mix it up too.  Listening to just one type of music isn't good for you.

(today I was listening to Negura Bunget, Immortal and Killdozer)
