New wave, 80's synthpop, old 'electro'.
Celtic, folk, folk rock. And many folk musics from around the world.
Jazz. Mostly Gypsy Swing and Italian jazz.
'Contemporary' 'classical' and 'avangarde' music. Reich, Stockhausen, etc.
Good 'classic rock':
Raw garage rock and hard rock, from MC5 to Motorhead to Wolfmother.
Glam rock.
Some country rock (still discovering). West Coast rock. Urban NY rock of late 70's.
Classical, occasionally.
French chanson and Italian canzona.
And my favourite: psychedelic rock & pop 66-72 period, both American and British.

Quite true. I've always liked many distinc genres of music. My oldest love is blues, because my father simply loves it, and then classical music, because I studied it through most of my life (and I like really most kind of classical around, from medieval music (mostly Gregorian Chant, though) up to Romantic), and it helps a lot having a family member in the state orchestra, so I get free tickets to all of their presentations and concerts (  ). My main love is, however, progressive rock, with heavy metal (which I started listening in my teens) and jazz (which I started listening fairly recently) right behind it.

"Meh. Prog is sort of overwhelming in my ratios, but I try to listen to some Jazz (as in, non "fusion" jazz), rock, metal and trying to get into classical. Also, some electronic music - mainly chiptune. Some nice pieces in that genre. "

ANyway, its cool to see three people now mention jazz and metal. I used to hang out on a AOL jazz site and "metal" was list spit to so many of them. It was not music to their ears. Maybe its just me, but I think Prog lovers in general have the most open ears to different types of musics. I have a lot of theories on that, but will leave that to another thread (oh no sorry)

I guess it depends on if you're talking about prog as a very specific genre or everything with some degree of prog elements, as in everything that is listed on the site. If we use the broader definition I mainly besides prog listen to heavy metal and hip hop, with some trips into the lands of jazz and alternative country (Slim Cessna's Auto Club rocks!).

Ha, thats why I sort of referred to SpaceRock as a sub-sub-genre, because I knew someone would chime in on this "technicality". Yes, Blues is a genre. Jazz is a genre. Rock is a genre, so Prog I suppose is a "sub-genre". Of course now I'm waiting for those that will say:
1. Prog Rock advanced enough to call it its own genre
2. The various styles in Prog are too diverse and different to even call it a genre
3 and then my favorite, "why do you have to label it, its all "music" to me"
I really hope the conversation doesn't go this direction. Lets just say, what music do you listen to that you won't find commonly referenced on PA?

I'm torn between heavy metal and jazz, but considering only the ammount of albums I have my answer is heavy metal.

MEP's post about how to say "genre" got me wondering what you guys listen to when its not Prog?
Prog is my favorite genre of all types of music, but I do enjoy reaching for eveything from Suicidal Tendencies to Karlheinze Stockhausen.
And I won't say SpaceRock or some sub-genre (sub-sub genre?) of Prog.
So, when I'm not playing Prog I probably reach for indie.alternative type music the most (from older Huseker Du/Replacements to newer Arcade Fire, Radiohead, Decemberists) and after that probably "Classic Rock." But I say that in the most positive way possible. Classic Rock radio playing the same (great) songs over and over I find very stuck in the mud. But many of those same bands' other songs are still fresh to my ears AND some of them are still putting out great music (Neil Young, Springsteen, Allman Bros)
