I voted 40%. It must be somewhere between 30 and 40% in fact. I have a comprehensive list at home, sorted by years the way iguana did it which is very interesting.
My "oldest" released record is "Please, please me" from The Beatles, 1963; my most recent one is the last "New Model Army", 2005. The years from which I have the most records are 1969, 1970 and 1971 (Over 100 of each year, all rock genres); the year from which I have the less records must be (I need to check) 1987 or 1988 (less than 10).
Most of my prog collection (around 500) is made of 1970's symphonic prog. The rest is standard 1960's and 70's rock, late 70's and early 80's new wave and a lot of alternative bands since the 90's.

purely prog (that is roughly about the artistes on the ProgArchives) I'd say roughly 50% but in a wider definition of progressive musics (including jazz), I'd say 95%!!!

prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen

About 25% of our vast CD collection is pop/rock (the rest is mainly classical, with substantial doses of jazz, new age, and mandarin pop as well). Of that 25%, about 30% is prog. So I come at lower than 10%, which is a choice not listed.
I shall leave the site now, shall I?

I'm between 25% and 30%, depending on how broad the "prog" definition is. But I do have a lot of albums.

I'm afraid more than 90%, I own a couple of Doors, Dylan & Beatles records which I almost never play, some few others, everything else is prog... I need to expand my taste, I really don't like non-prog music, don't care much for pop, classic rock, blues, jazz or classic... only if it contains a progressive twist

Wow, how anal am I, I actually had to dust off my calculator and do the calculation -with my good ole grade D math.  
As for the results, well, according to the definion here on progarchives it would be 33%, but according to my own stricter definion of prog the figure drops to 27,5%... Either way, I was able to go for 30% with a good conscience 
Ah, but I would change it for less than 10% if that figure contained several hundred prog CD's as was the case with somebody in this thread...! Someday, someday..........................................

Just a few years ago I listened to skater-rock or punk (I once played
in a punk-band). Then, one year ago I discovered the progressive rock
for myself and now I listen to prog-rock as often as I can.
Prog-rock is the only music I listen to (most of it is Gentle Giant).
Together with the other guitar-player of our band who now listens to
prog either I was able to change the style of the band from punk into
prog-rock (nearly the biggest change that can be possible I think). Now
we're looking for a keyboarder.
Yeah, a 100% of the music I listen to is prog!!!
