I like Psychedelic Rock best of all with Progressive Rock being a close second, although I didn't listen to that much Prog-Rock before I joined ProgArchives.

Prog is just one genre of many I like. And as with other genres there is prog I like and prog I don't like.

I guess option 3 is the one for me.

voted other, but might also have chosen 2.
For me some 70’s prog is something special, a huge part of my life, so that tends to point at 3. But on the other hand there is a lot of bands from the prog genre that I don’t like a lot, and many bands not prog that I love a lot. |

I like other genres but not as much as prog .. I mean it gives one a nice fuzzy feeling as if you are the prince of all fairness to say other genres are just as great as prog, but in my opinion they are not, strictly my own opinion of course. Besides what defines prog is a very broad thing I think it's that broadness of definision that makes prog such a huge umbrella of many styles , from Journey to King Crimson it's a pretty broad spectrum.

Progressive rock and jazz are my staples. I still listen to other stuff but I'd say a good 80% of the time, it's those two.

'Prog Rock' - 80% Other -20% I would actually struggle to name 10 artists that in general I like that are not prog. One of my favourite albums is Jagged Little Pill but I'm not sure I particularly like much else by Alanis. Similarly with Suzanne Vega and her debut album. There is maybe only one artist that is not prog that I like everything by and that is Bat For Lashes. Prog bands that I like usually have at least 5 or 6 albums that I want to listen to over and over assuming that they carry on that long! I rarely listen to Classical Music (unless its Keith Emerson's Piano Concerto!) . I don't like Jazz all that much. Pop music has always been very bitty but occasionally you get a fun tune. I don't like Blues at all and Hard Rock is often boring. I never understand the point of music that is fixated on just one thing when you can mix things up and have lots of fun!

Yesterday I listened to Heartland by Runrig, The Granite Years by Oysterband, The Spirit of Autumn Past by Mostly Autumn, Rajaz by Camel and Road Rage by Great Big Sea.
So clearly, you can see my loves are prog and folk. (I also listened to Runaway Horses by Belinda Carlisle, but I'd never admit that in public).

I don’t really categorise music much outside of this place - at least not at home where I just listen to music. My collection is full of prog, pop, jazz, rock, folk, electronic, avant, blues, funk, hip hop and all kinds of weird genres.
But is there one that reigns supreme? Nope....but I do tend to prefer the help of Stevie Wonder and Funkadelic over King Crimson and PFM when in the company of women  Different tools for different jobs...just like different days and different moods call for different music. |

Easily Option 3. I like other genres, but dig prog the most!

"If it's not Prog it's CRAP" gets my vote. Although I don't believe that 100% of the time it's still pretty accurate.

I choose option 2. I'm essentially a prog fan but I also like other genres as well, especially the Classical music. If music is good you can count on me. So, I like all genres.

Other. Prog, psych & postpunk are my favorite genres, but I listen also almost every other genre at least a little.

As I mentioned in another thread I remember back in my teens thinking that everything sounded like crap compared to Yes. However, I no longer feel that way. Different artists and different genres are coming at music at different angles and have different things they are trying to accomplish musically. As for the question, I'll have to think about it but it's either the second or third option for me.
