Agreed, Metal really isn't rock. It's rather Black Music with little rock influences, Slayer is a good example.

...

I like hard rock, power metal, melodic rock(journey,strangeways,magnum etc.)

Indie...but not so much emo

I have to say Indie (not Emo), although it has become such a vague term that it could pretty much mean anything. I come from a Classic Rock/Blues background (probably due to my father's influence), but can't say I listen to the stuff much anymore. Who knows, maybe it'll change again in a few months.

Mostly Clasic Rock and Classical, but IMHO there's good music in almost every genre except Rap, Hip Hop, Boys/Girls bands and Disco.

I think I can seriously say progressive rock is the only type of rock I like.

Hard Rock for me!!!

Yeah!! I like those!!

But in this case I think that "Progressive Music" we can see it or better said Hear it in many of the styles in the list above, For instance: Hard Rock... Uriah Heep Was a Hard Rock Band as well, even  Deep Purple included some elements of Prog.  Alternative Rock.. what's alternative rock? I think by these  days we can clasify almost everything, and alternative sounds for me as "vanguard"  can also  have elements of Progressive music, even in Electronic Music sometimes the word "Progressive" is used. And the sound of  Psychodelic Rock in the begining still has a close relation with the contemporary Space Rock....

Jazz!! well, it is Progressiove in itself, and Power Metal we can find Bands like Symphony X that are close to the sound we are used to in Prog Metal, but what happends with bands like Rhapsody, Mago de Oz, The first albums of Nightwish, even Stratovarius in some way they use elements of Nordic Folk or European Folk and mix it with their own heavy metal sound.

What I mean is that many styles that you don't recognize as "Prog" can easily use elements of Progressive music in some way or another in everyage and everywhere.
