Music You like beside Progmusic

I like anything that sounds good to my ears.

And the more creative & complex the better.

Folk and Darkwave huh?  Do you like Pazuzu?

Also, how about Death In June?  I like the acoustic albums, amazing stuff and great lyrics.

 Led Zeppelin are my main non-prog love, I can pretty much listen to them for hours on end and never get sick of them. Occasionally, I'll listen to The Beatles(but only post-65).

I'd like to get more into Deep Purple, all I have is a compilation on cassette called When we rock we rock and when we roll we roll.

What I've heard of Black Sabbath doesn't really entice me.

I also like some Miles Davis.

Classical

Jazz

60s Rock

70s Rock

Some 60's rock (Cream, The Who, Jimi Henrix), Etno (many from Peter Garbiel's RealWorld label, f.ex. Sheila Chandra), Folk (Fairport Convention, Bob Dylan), Some old metal (Napalm Death, Sepultura, Carcass, Autopsy etc.)

The Beatles, The Police, Dire Straits, Rory Gallagher, Bruce Springsteen, even Elvis occasionally... I do have the entire Led Zep studio catalogue, but have not really felt like listening to it for a long time now. Nick Drake's compilation called "A Treasury" has proven to be a most excellent choice when I feel a need to wind down from intensive prog music listening.
