In its broadest sense, including progressive metal and stuff on the fringes
of prog, probably around 40%. Probably 20% is psychedelic, 20% is folk
and folk/rock and the remaining 20% is a mixture of hard rock, garage,
industrial and beat.

About 50% of my albums are prog and I'd say 70% of what I listen to is prog

Presently 70% is prog and the other 30% is shared between classics and Brazilian traditional.

Less than to about 10%, but I'd call 30-50% "psychedelic," prog included therein. Eclecticism rules!!

Less than 10 %.  All I really have that's prog is Close to the Edge, Moving Pictures, and Seasons End.  Out of roughly 100 CDs and Vinyls.

Though I do have The Magician's Birthday by Uriah Heep, if you consider that prog.

Oh, and I forgot the 12 or so Pink Floyd CDs I have.  Still not much more than 10% though.

Only about 10-20% (I voted 10) since I'm fairly new to prog. Other stuff I listen(ed) to (favourite albums between brackets):

  • Death Metal: Death (Human, Symbolic), Obituary (Cause Of Death), Hypocrisy (Osculum Obscenum), ...
  • Black Metal: Dimmu Borgir (Stormblast),  Cradle Of Filth (Dusk And Her Embrace), ...
  • Heavy Metal: Iron Maiden (Piece Of Mind), Iced Earth (Horror Show), ...
  • Punk: The Clash (Sandinista!),
  • Hardcore: Sick Of It All (Scratch The Surface),  Biohazard (Urban Discipline), ...
  • Celtic/Folk: The Pogues (Rum, Sodomy and The Lash), The t**sers (Purgatory), Flogging Molly (Drunken Lullabies), ...
  • (Local) Pop music: An Pierle (Mud Stories), Kaiser Chiefs, ...
and much, much more. Thanks to Opeth and Dream Theater I gradually got into prog. My current prog collection is limited to

  • Pink Floyd (most albums, except Delicate Sound of Thunder and The Wall Live)
  • Genesis (most Gabriel era stuff, except Trespass)
  • Van der Graaf Generator
  • Rush
  • Yes
  • Frank Zappa
  • Sigur Ros
  • Prog metal: Ayreon, Dream Theater, Opeth, ...

^ Retuow, none of the 2 bands you mentioned as black metal have anything to do with black metal

---

This is a very interesting poll, one of the best recently.. a  for Drew.

I'd say about 40% is prog, other 40% metal, and 20% of other various genres like electronic, pop/rock, jazz, etc.  0% rap , and 0% classical

I know, but I guess I don't like black metal then (Darkthrone, etc are just awful...)

About 50% of my collection is by artists featured in the archive. My collection covers most bases, but prog was the first musical genre I discovered for myself and is the one I return to most frequently.

Most of my collection is progressive rock, probably 90% or more, but I wish I listened to more of a variety in music.

About 20%, if that.

Listening-wise, about 40%. I'm probably not counting as much music as prog as many here are though.

About 90% - the rest consists of Jazz, and some proto-prog/related stuff.
