It depends - if I could pick and choose which 1000 albums, then I'd go for the progressive rock choice.
If 1000 albums were foisted upon me, then I'd prefer the jazz & classical option. |

Prog. I really like classical music, but just some artists, and jazz have awesome stuffs (Miles Davis, all the fusion bands) but also bad stuffs (almost all the other artists).

if you put it that way.. jazz and classical easily... once you get passed the first 250 prog choices (or to be generous 500 albums) ... they would all start sounding the same  |

i am just not interested in actual jazz and classical music... despite being in a music class FILLED with the latter, and the former being done outside of class (Jazz Band; the actual term to describes this escapes me at the moment). PROG FOR ME, but i need to know more of it before i can get to 1000 (which'll probably never happen, lol).

Prog is the Rock-Lovers dream
Classical is pompous old-fogey music.......... Now I don't mean that in any derogatory way, but there's the difference between generations........... |

Progressive rock
I listen to a little bit of jazz. I also like some classical music (especially Bach, Chopin and Rachmaninov). |

This is a good observation, this question of course fits better to Jazz and Progressive Rock.

Jazz+Classical Music, even if I like very few of jazz.
Only at my 22-23 years old I began to dig into classical music, but I guess now this is much because I listened to it during my childhood, my father put it at home during his work (he's architect), I remember that Chopin's was my mother favourite... I reckon it's much harder for the people nowadays to dig into this genre if they never listened to it in their whole life, this is one of the main reasons why I think classical music is sadly gradually and increasingly dying. But I think that different is the case of progressive music, whither you are more likely to occasionaly hear some music (be it by chance or not) or someone talking about it. So it was quite obvious for me that progressive rock was going to win this poll easily, without regarding the fact that this is a progressive rock site. Regarding the modern and contemporary classical music it happened to me the same that I think happened and might be happening to a lot of people here with the rest of the genre - the few artists I knew didn't attract me that much as a whole. But personally I wouldn't generalize or think the rest of this genre would be quite likely of less interest for me to the point of not digging into them, because the other classical ages did make me kind of a classical nut just for the few classical music I knew (if I consider its at least 300 years lifetime), these few are amongst my most beloved music so far, apart of some music from other genres obviously, as progressive rock for instance. Just as an illustration, I guess that classical music is still one of the most beloved music of many of the renowned prog artists - Keith Emerson, Steve Hackett, Evángelos Odysséas Papathanassíu, Jürgen Fritz, Pahr Lindh, Rick Wakeman, Francis Monkman, Gianni Nocenzi, etc. Edited by Rick Robson - March 14 2015 at 22:01 |

That's actually a very difficult choice.

If someone was giving me a 1000 jazz and classical albums, I would accept them gladly. I would then bundle them all together with rope, rent a construction crane, hoist the records high in the air and drop them on Pedro's head.

I'd hate to have to choose between giving up Triumvirat or Anton Bruckner, but to answer your question, I would go with having a thousand classical with a bit of jazz cds. I find symphonies so soothing and moving, that I think I would miss them more. To me, the Symphony is the highest form of musical art.

A good question - my answer depends on what the scenario is. Am I to be marooned on a desert island on my own with only those 1000 CDs to listen to for the rest of my life? If so, I would choose classical + jazz (mainly classical, a little jazz) - thinking about it, I don't want to lose the option of being wrapped up in the opulent and varied soundscapes of classical music, as much as I love my prog rock.... Am I simply being given 1000 free CDs by a generous person? If so, I would take the 1000 prog CDs - because classical music is easily obtained and I can hear it on my radio 24 hours a day... As to whether I prefer prog or jazz/classical in an absolute sense - I cannot answer that... It's too hard to choose...  |

Prog is where it all came together for me. I like some classical (Ligeti, Bartok, Schoenberg, Chopin) but, like what Hercules said, it's hard for me to absorb jazz ... unless it's fusion.

Prog by far.
I like some classical (particularly Sibelius, Dvorak, Vivaldi, Vaughan Williams, Bach) but I really don't like much jazz.

I could probably do without jazz and classical altogether without any pain at all. I'm hoping I'll learn to appreciate them someday (if I inherit my dad's music collection I will have all the jazz albums I'll ever need). And I envy people who can enjoy classical music - the music is obviously so rich and there's so much of it - but it just rolls through my ears without much emotional response. So prog is my vote.
