I'm wondering if the op meant "as WELL" or "AS well" for option number two. There is a difference.

Bingo. I should have made that one of the choices, you like other genres more than prog but it's hardly that you 'barely like prog.'

You might want to listen to Gong's album Gazeuse! if you haven't already.

I probably used to be option 2, but I've gradually shifted to option 3. I listen to more prog these days, because I find it so much more interesting, enjoyable and fresh (especially modern prog). I still like my classic rock, blues, jazz and classical, but the proportions are no longer as even as it once was.

Looking at the choices, applying a broad definition of prog, and including Prog Related, Proto-Prog, as well as anything I consider to be prog even though it isn't listed in PA, the first option (If it's not prog it's CRAP!) is the closest for me. However, there are albums that I listen to that isn't prog, even by my broad definition, but these are mere exceptions, and do not represent interest in other genres.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

When I saw "If it's not prog it's CRAP!", I assumed that "CRAP" would be an acronym such as "Completely Regressive Anti-Progressive". Then there's "C-Rap", which is basically an abbreviated form of "rapped sea shanties" in net-speak. Oh those sea pups and their text-talk, hip-hop, digital media devices and GPS's. Back in my day, when we sailed we would navigate by the stars and kidnap a balladeer to cheer-up us buccaneers on the long journey, and nowadays it seems sailors are more interested in songs about booty than plundering booty. I'd rather twerk a treasure chest.

"Other" for me. I don't consider myself to be a Prog fan despite there being a lot of music that is deemed Prog at this site and at others that I do like. There's also an awful lot that I dislike included in the PA database. I listen to a lot of different styles of music. It rather depends on one's definition of Prog, and what those parameters are. A lot of what I like in PA wouldn't be contained within the parameters of certain prog purists -- I'd say most that I like in PA would be considered on the periphery or Prog tangential to a great many.

Most of the music I listen to these days isn't included in Prog Archives at all.

I'd estimate that around 10% of the music I listen to on CD is listed on ProgArchives somewhere, even though it wouldn't normally be considered prog, such as Kate Bush, David Bowie, Queen and the Electric Light Orchestra for instance.

Right on, Bowie and Queen. Now you just need some solo Collins in there. I recommend No Jacket Required. It really is a good album. Face value I don't like as much, a little more filler in that.. No Jacket is pretty tight.

I really contemplated "If it's not prog it's CRAP!". 

But, I chose "I like other genres but not as much as prog". 

Throw a "nearly" between "not" and "as" and that's my preference. 

I don't find State Cows on PA, and that's what I'm enjoying as I type this. The band that I name the successor to Steely Dan, but a bit on the "Yacht Rock" side.

Second answer.

I like very much

- English and American music of the Sixties (especially proto-prog). Not Italian music because too much melodic.
- classic/heartland rock
- prog rock, especially eclectic prog, crossover prog, prog folk, Italian prog... Then: symphonic, Canterbury, etc.
- Italian singer-songwriters and some American singer songwriters (Dylan, Cohen)
- some classical music (Berlioz, Bartok, Vivaldi, Bach, GH Handel, Stravinsky (Sagre du Printemps) , Mahler etc.)


I like less (in order)
- blues and fusion
- hard rock
- Opera (Verdi, Wagner, Berlioz, Puccini, Mozart)
- electronic
-pop
- jazz
- country/folk
-heavy metal
-Last: Italian melodic music.
Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

Me too, and my tastes have widened even more in the six months I've been a member of ProgArchives. I'm discovering literally hundreds of classic Briitish prog albums that I never even knew existed before. Smile

3rd option, I guess. But I really do love A LOT of genres outside of proggish ones, they just don't give me the same feeling as when I listen to prog.
Really, there's at least 2 songs from every genre I like.

I LOVE music! Prog just happens to be the music I most often find the most interesting and satisfying.
