% of your music is Prog

Somewhere around 30%, the remainder being an even split between classic and modern rock.  How disappointingly balanced.

At a guess, around 30-40%. It depends on what one's definition of "Prog" is, though.

I own a 3500 albums and 2500 prerecorded cds.  I have all kinds of different music in my collection from classical to world music.  My prog and jazz cds are included more in my playlist.

About 50 procent is pure prog, about 25 is related to prog (Queen, The Who, Deep Purple, Beatles etc.) and 25 is not that much prog-related (Dylan, Springsteen, Clash).

But I've got less prog records then non-progs, it's just hard to get CD's with prog.

(Edit: I listen to friends records )

Easily 90%+ of my music is prog. The rest is definitely prog-related in some form (or in spirit) with very few exceptions.

I'd say about 30%, but still probably the biggest genre.

Cool. I found one of my first posts.

Nowadays my collections is roughly 15% prog.

I voted 40%.... if it goes over 50% then i'm afraid it's all over

Around 55% is prog...

And it realy sound strange dude, why do you have the collection???????

I'll answer that one for Jean: The collection accumulated over the years; we both already had a rather big one when we met. There were some duplicates in it after they were merged, but it still was big. However, as we grew older we started preferring listening to the radio; WDR 3 is an excellent channel. We still listen to the odd album from our collection from time to time, and there are some artists we still buy all new albums from. But nevertheless it is the radio for us most of the time. And of course the music we play ourselves.
It is like having a big library. Why does one not throw away a book after having read it? Because books are like old friends; you can return to them whenever you want. It is the same with albums.
