| I'm just wondering how much prog you guys listen to as compared to other music. I'd say about 60 or 70 percent of the stuff I listen to I consider "prog." How about you guys? |

I'd say these days, around 85-90 percent. I'm trying to find stuff that challenges me that I can still get into.

AC/DC or Willie Nelson out.

About 95... Aside form my favorites (Maiden, Zep and Purple) I don't own more htan 5 albums by the same non-prog band... when one starts wondering into the realms of obscure prog he's usually past the whole hard rock/metal phase. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ocellatedgod" rel="nofollow - last.fm |

All the music I listen to I consider Prog. However, not all of it is considered Prog here in PA...
Seriously, though, it is about 95% Prog...

| Probably just over 50%, however a lot of what I listen to that this site doesn't consider to be Prog I feel can be classified as such (eg Buckethead, Coheed and Cambria) |

Depends on who you count as prog. If you discount bands like Queen, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, 85% or so. Including them, about 95%.

About 30 percent prog, i listen to a lot of classic and heavy rock, blues, classical music (esp. symphonies and violin concertos) and avant-garde jazz. It is useful to listen to other genres of music as it gives a better perspective of music as a whole, and a better insight into where prog influences originate.

And you even have the nerve to proclaim it in public... My, these men will never cease to amaze me!  As for me, I've never really thought about percentage, but I could say something like 60% prog (most subgenres) and 40% other genres - though I can safely say I hardly ever listen to non-rock music. |

| I'm not sure. The amount of prog I listen to may vary heavily from one week to another. I'd say somewhere between 60 and 85 % of what I listen to is prog. It depends on mood, weather, the movements of the cosmic energies, etc. |

| I'd say about 60-70% of the music I listen to is prog but I also love free jazz, punk, acoustic guitar music and minimalism. And now and then I have the urge to listen to the Sugababes! |

I like musicians that experiment with sound and composition, but that's not necessarily prog.. besides prog I also love to listen to electronica and there's some great stuff there to find. I am an absolute sucker for chilled out electronica  Guess it's about 50/50 (considering that lots of artists I like are included here) ------------- Interested in my reviews?

Right now, it is robably over 70% prog. That is due to all of the new music I am discovering (thanks P.A.  ). But I listen to various other kinds of music. Jazz, Funk, Punk, Big Band, Lounge, Jazz-pop (Sinatra, Dino, etc.), Classical, Opera, Reggae, Ska, and good ol' rock. The only things I really don't like are country and rap/hip hop.------------- a.k.a. H.T. http://riekels.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow - http://riekels.wordpress.com |

Probably about 80%... maybe 70% of it's in the archives, 10% of it's prog, but not listed, and the remaining 20% is usually fun, creative metal like Katatonia and Sentenced, or creative bands in other genres, like Calexico.
