Jazz probably then classical, but there's always the stuff that isn't officially prog here but is prog to me, which I'd put in front of J and C.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Actually my fave genre is Metal - Old School Metal. Both heavy, speed, thrash, doom, prog, black, death as long as it's old school or has old school related sound or things like that.
Then prog is my 2nd fave genre... and then hard/classic rock (Ac/Dc, Deep Purple, Led Zep, Rainbow etc etc)

Next to prog. Hmm hard one! Ermm

My top 5 at the moment will go like this:

1. Prog (I’m still not sure it's a genre or not, Wacko but well, I don't care what genre a song is categorized as, if I like it then its good (I happen to like lots of songs from this genre)). Prog is more human than mainstream music imo, and is often good to greate pictures/emotions in peoples mind (nothing wrong with mainstream music, we just got too much of it!).

2. Hard rock/Metal (like Yde, I like old school metal best, heavy, thrash, doom, speed, etc. Lots of pre 90's metal/hard rock used lots of prog elements in imo, I think it's why I like it so much.

3. Jazz (normally a very interesting genre that does not follow the "normal rule/pattern" of mainstream songs. It's also very different from song to song. Great rhythms 8/7, 5/4 etc.

4. Classical (is like symphonic prog - prog = symphonic)
 
5. Psychedelic proto prog (what to say, lots of good music)

I voted other. Though I like prog a lot, there's other stuff I listen to as much, or even more. If (I think) it sounds good, I don't really care what genre it fits into - my music tastes are not really that specialist.

1. Alternative Rock. This encompasses a huge amount of my music collection (probably ~40% or so), probably not the most popular music round these parts, but R.E.M. and U2 were the first bands I really got into. Aside from that I have a lot of funk-rock (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Faith No More, Rage Against The Machine, Mr. Bungle), grunge and post-grunge (Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam), Madchester (Happy Mondays, Primal Scream), Brit-rock (Radiohead and Muse).

2. Electronic Dance Music. I'm not as heavily into this music as I was when I was in my early 20s, when I listened to a lot of Techno from the likes of Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, Dave Clarke and Laurent Garnier. My tastes are somewhat mellower now, and tend to listen to Carl Craig (who still produces a lot of good, jazzy stuff), Andrew Weatherall (particularly Sabres of Paradise), Coldcut (their JDJ release is one of the best mix albums out there), DJ Food, UNKLEsounds (not as much of a fan of them as producers), Massive Attack, Portishead, Kraftwerk, late 80s-mid 90s electro (Aux 88, Cybrotron, I-F etc.), Orbital, the Orb, Future Sound of London ...

3. Metal. Probably the 2 subgenres of metal I listen to most are Progressive/Avant Garde (Dream Theater, Fates Warning, Liquid Tension Experiment, Tool, Mars Volta, Opeth) - looking around here will help me find other bands I know rather less about - and Stoner Metal (Kyuss, Monster Magnet, Sleep). I also like to listen to pre-Black Album Metallica, Groove Metal (Pantera, White Zombie) and some Alternative Metal (System of a Down). 

I also listen to a fair bit of Classic Rock and Hip Hop (not Gangsta Rap).

Sure there is.
 
Just check some Hevia, Carlos Núñez or Kepa Junquera.
They´re all spanish and had been doing very good emotional
and melodical music with bagpipes through the past years.
From other countries, just ask limeyrob. I´m far of being an
specialist in the instrument but I like to listen to it sometimes.
It depends on my mood.

I went over my alphabet, and it seems that punk would come after prog as a musical genre. (PR, PS, PT, PU,PV,PW etc)

For me  folk -   Simon&Garfunkel, Cat Stevens, Leonard Cohen, Reinhard Mey,  Roy Harper  (the party of the songwriters)   or  Steeleye Span, Traffic, Fairport Convention,  Thursaflokkurinn,  Jethro Tull  (the folkrockers).  
All in all each man in all men

I like Classic/Hard Rock but it seems like plenty of those bands I like wind up in the Prog Related section. I know it's not prog but it's still close enough. I like some Jazz and Classical but I can't appreciate it if I listen to it for too long. That being said, I would have to say Folksy/hippie music from the 60s and 70s along the lines of Simon & Garfunkel and the Byrds. I'm also a big fan of Elton John and Billy Joel.

I'm taking "Pour On Sauce, Worcestershire." I don't know what I'm going to do with it, but it's far too good to let it go to waste.

Hmm, in no significant order; but as they appear in my mind, so it's a slight indication:

1. Psychedelic (isn't always a subgenre of prog)
2. Indie
3. Dream pop/shoegaze (shoegaze is basically just dream pop with noise rock influence)
4. Jazz
5. Electronic and ambient
6. Post-Punk
7. Classical
8. Folk
9. "classic" rock
10. then I guess anything avant-garde or minimalist
