	genesis, van der graaf generator, marillion (or pink floyd, porcupine tree) i only listen to those when i'm outside and if they're currently on my ipod. i guess that would be under 5% of all the time i spend on music.

	I'd say about 10-20% to be honest, I tend to listen to as many different bands as I can but PoS is in the CD player regularly, but I wouldnt really know what my other two favourit bands are, not that it would make much difference.
	Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

	I had to think about this for a moment. During my daily commute I usually listen to the newest prog I've purchased, trying to wrap my head around the music so I can formulate an intelligent review. At home or on the weekends I usually listen to one of my faves that I've been neglecting like Yes, Porcupine Tree or Genesis (although not limited to just those three since Flower Kings, Dream Theater and several others are included in my "faves" category).

	Porcupine Tree, King Crimson and The Mars Volta At least 30-40%. But to choose three band is hard! Rush, Frank Zappa, VDGG and Talk Talk are all very close runner-up for third place. If I add those, my percentage raise to at least 60-70%. But I try to keep my ears open and I make time for other great bands. There is so much to hear!

	Led Zeppelin Rush Yes 0 - 10%. So not that much really. The thing is I've listened to them so much in the last 30 years that I'm so familiar with the material that most of the time I preffer to listen to less familiar stuff. Of course I have to dig them out from time to time and if we get a new release then that gets plenty of play.

	Rush being my favorite... I'll always listen to at least one of their albums per day, and usually if that happens I'll listen to another. I'd say about 30-40% for my time is Rushly time.

	When I'm at home, almost never at all, since I have access to albums I need to spend more time with. But when I'm outside I just have my mp3 player with a handful of albums to choose from, so... almost all the time, then. The last few times I went out I listened to Art Bears' "The World as it is Today" because apart from that, everything on my mp3 player is non-media data. =P

	Genesis, Marillion, King Crimson, VdGG, Pink Floyd, Anekdoten, The Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever, PT, Opeth, Arcturus... The fact is that I have so many favourite bands, all together it must represent about 60-70% of the time.
