Time for prog

Outside of the collaborators I wonder how listening to prog fits in with your life schedule? Work and or families and other obligations can stop the best of us from relaxing and enjoying an album.
For me I am in the car a lot so it allows for some longer listening.
So anyone here who is on top of the prog scene must set aside time for it as unlike other forms of music it lends itself best for full album listening sessions.
It is much easier to digest more traditional rock music with generally shorter songs.If you listen to music while exercising so you listen to prog? I myself tend to not listen to prog to work out to For what ever reason I need more punchy music for it.
I bring this upnbecause this site is a sea of info on bands to check out but time is not always available to me.

The car for me too, though at home, I always use my I-Pod (yes, I still have one of those, since all my music does not fit in my phone), with my Bose noise cancelling headphones for a better experience. When I'm alone at home, I play the music on the main stereo, but when my wife is at home, the headphones will do, to avoid her comments and her interrupting my listening experience. Curiously enough, my daughter likes a lot of my music, so we rock to some good prog together once in a while. I also have a "gym music" list full of prog songs for when I go to exercise.

I've recently gotten into listening music while sleeping.

Not enough time, here. Neighborhood too close ... etc. But I'm a writer and by chance I have no problem to write and to listen to music at the same time.

I am listening to prog music only when I am stoned.

I work alone in my guitar repair studio, so I can hear prog rock in that place. Home is another good place for this ! I avoid listening  music when  I'm driving !

My kids can now feed themselves and tie their own shoes, I don't have to take them to the toilet and make sure they don't miss or wipe properly.

IPod Classic and CDs in the car on the half-hour commute to work (and then back) usually accounts for a full album during the week - with the ability to play it at a decent volume without the wife complaining! Lesson planning and marking periods, lunch etc. normally allow me to listen to some more or trawl the latest releases on YouTube or Morow.com to see if there is anything worth buying.

Back home, if I'm working evenings or weekends on the PC, trawling through my iTunes library for old favourites or new finds always makes the work go easier (currently doing on-line GCSE marking and tonight it worked really well with classic Renaissance and King Crimson!). However, sitting in the lounge - feet up with a decent glass of wine or IPA on a Friday night - listening to some classic prog on the headphones is the best way by far!

Throw in the odd concert now and then, and I've no complaints.

So much good music.....so little time, though!
