I only listen to music at home, and generally am always doing something else when I do (cooking, cleaning, tidying up, writing reviews...). I don't really play any air instruments, but like to sing along whenever vocals are involved, or sometimes even dance  .

I guess it depends on where I am. In my car, I usually try to also concentrate on driving, (otherwise I might go off the road) so I just quietly listen. If I really want to enjoy a new album or one I haven't heard for a while, I will sit on the couch or bed and just listen with the speakers cranked. I have actually found that the best way to hear music in detail is through headphones with no outside noises interrupting. I usually do this just before I go to sleep. Otherwise, I am usually doing something else as well as listening to music, like homework, browsing web, etc.

On the patio, enjoing a San Diego sunset and a cold Newcastle. Cigar is optional. Listening on the Bose wave player for iPods. Loud but not annoying the neighbors loud.

unfortunately the only free time I usualy get is when i am driving. That is when I truly LEARN all of my music. There is defintiely air drumming - well, dashboard/steering wheel drumming since there is always a pair of sticks in the van - and also singing once words are learned.
When I do get to be at home I usualy listen while reading or studying runes. My stereo at home is very nice so I really cherish this time to dig into what is happening from a musical structural/textural standpoint.

I was at the local plasma donation center a few days back, jammin' to "2112" and "Hemispheres". Also had Genesis' "Trespass" with me. A worker came along and asked me what I was listening to that was making me play air synthesizer. I gave him the headphones and started to listen to "Hemispheres" in all its glory. He said that was the first time he'd ever heard Rush  . I shook my head. "You have much to learn". Now he's a fan.

ahhh.. air keyboards... one of prog's greatest gifts and legacies to music. Though I must say.. Rush wouldn't be my first thought for a air keyboard flurry of notes chords and arpeggios. Wanna have some real air keyboard fun... The Barbarian ..ELP. Short but deadly.. more tiring than sex to play air keys with that. hah....seriously though... playing air keyboards while driving will get you looks much more than air guitar. It has a coolness that air guitar simply lacks.

When you listen to progressive rock, how do you and your body react to the music? Do you like to bob/bang your head, play air guitar/drums/bass/keyboards, sing, dance, etc? I can't imagine listening to any of my favorite rock music without at least banging my head. I also love doing air guitar/drums/bass/keyboards... and even air flute and violin! And of course, I love to sing. If somebody put a hidden camera in my car, it'd be pretty entertaining to watch!

I bang all the time. I also have to lease few air guitars from pawnshop and lend imaginary drumkit from a friend. Seriously, this is connected with my own thread "WHISTLING PROG TUNES" quite a lot, because this is part of this play. I don't do guitars much, but I feel rhythm and am trying to keep track with it. So: drumming
whistling
head banging
pelvic thrusting (hehehe)

I prefer singing to playing imaginary instruments, but sometimes I do it, too. It's really relaxing when I can sing all the time (for example when I'm home alone and time isn't close to midnight, you know, I live in minimalistic flat) and nobody's laughing at me. But what is really fun - when my boyfriend starts with twitching his head. It isn't so bad at all, but the problem is that the music is so silent, so low and restful. :-) By the way, I'm still trying to play/make prog music with my very realistic guitars. I've found how to play some Pink Floyd's songs :-)

Well I normally relax when listening to Tool and bang my head violently when listening to Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. Wait..
But seriously, I normally just air drum, if that's not too mentally insane.

Dancing (better believe it!) and lots of air fluting on one leg (even when unnecessary).
