	Prog Rock for sure, although I do love my Jazz/Fusion. I'm just not into Classical at all.

	Hi, Jazz and Classical, because it is a bonafide, well defined mode, though the "jazz" label is limiting as heck and sometimes very boring, but it is wider in its appreciation of differences than ... progressive ... has EVER been, which is the reason why I do not like to use the term. For me, I would be happy, and proud, the day that we can be intelligent enough to create a proper definition that will have all the musicos excited to understand, that those raock fans, have finally grown up and learned to appreciate music instead of talking about their favorite songs! On that day, I think "progressive" will be respected. Until then ... let's just go to sleep and call it a night ... even with/without a bomber! Edited by moshkito - March 15 2015 at 15:17

	well while I can't give up my prog---my taste in prog is way more narrow than some on this site---and most of the prog I like has jazz and or classical influence----and I like a lot of jazz and some classical---not sure either would add up to 1000 CD's---like some have mentioned I have my classic rock and jazz folk heros that are not considered prog but in my mind have prog elements---so guess I will vote prog if I can come up with my own rules as to what I can include

	I'm going with Prog Rock as it contains Jazz and Classical elements where as Jazz and Classical doesn't necessarily contain Prog Rock elements even though they helped feed the Prog machine. it's a toughie to be sure.
	Thank you for supporting independently produced music

	It's not as stupid a question as you think. This member of a Progressive Rock appreciation site would choose Progressive Rock over jazz and classical but would choose much Post Punk and generic Rock e.g. Kinks, Stones, Who, SAHB, Velvet Underground, over Progressive Rock. You want to know the reasons why this is so but honestly: Jazz and classical as descriptors, encompasses far too many variegated sources to make the outcome credible e.g. Thelonius Monk and Kenny Ball both qualify as jazz while Stravinsky and Elgar are like two peas in a pod designed by Albert Speer.

	To make this question more comprehensible: would you choose a 1000 CDs of progrock or 1000 Cds of Jazz and Classical music recordings . If you really prefer prog to jazz and classical music, I would like to know why.
	Would you catch the final words of mine? Would you catch my words???
