I do have times that I listen mostly to one genre or another.
Sometimes I have periods that I listen to classic prog, then I re - discover British '80's neo - prog or Italian '70's RPI or I'm completely into Canterbury or I listen a lot to a band to which I didn't listen for a long time. Sometimes I listen a lot to non - prog rock bands, or soul music sometimes to classical music...
I don't plan such things, it just happens. 
But I do have "trends", even when they are completely personally.
Prog does sometimes bore me, and then I change my listening habits, but I don't stay away from prog for a long time.
I listen a lot to prog: I always come back to that.

I guess Prog represents about say 60% of what I listen to, with remainder split between Post Punk, Jazz, european folk, classical and Pop.The problem with a site like PA is that it can engender an attitude where we pay more attention to the menu than the taste of our food.

Have any of you ever felt the need to "quit" prog for a while?
I listen to a wide variety of music. I certainly wouldn't listen to BOSTON. I hated that music. It was a bit contrived. I am not into someone spinning a turntable or a hip-hop beat. I am not into Lady Gaga. I don't care if she has the greatest voice on earth. I will take Laura Nyro over her anyday. Artists like Todd Rundgren and Nyro were very commercial....but I except their situation. I don't give a hoot what goes on in music today. Especially through the media. I think it's all garbage. I couldn't care less whether or not I suck as a musician or if I am good. It has nothing to do with how I feel about media driven entertainment created by degenerate industry pro's. Prog is very good...but  I listen to other styles of music half the time.

Spent half my life listening to heavy rock and metal, with a bit of punk, classical and prog thrown in. Spent the second half mainly (not exclusively) listening to prog. What a site like this does is expand your palette. There isn't a prog sub-genre I don't enjoy. JR/F and extreme prog work strangely well with Kraut and RIO on album shuffle!

I've never considered prog to be just one type of music. Wink

Since when does Lady Gaga have the greatest voice on earth? Which raises a side question, If you are singing through autotune, does it count as singing? And since when is Lady Gaga hip-hop???

Of course you should listen to non prog as well so you can realise how great prog is in comparison. Or to give your ears a break.

I listen to Adele, Kiss, Sweet, Suzi Quatro, Gary Numan (prog related IMHO), Scorpions, Tourniquet, Petra, Soundtracks, lots more... with prog as number one choice though.
