where/when do you listen to prog?

At home when I get in from work everyday.

In the mornings, on my walkman, walking to work.

A good three hour music session every Saturday & Sunday morning; sets me up for the day and puts me in a good mood for any 'non working day'

At home, as I don't drive and don't usually carry my Walkman around - not being able to hear properly could be a life hazard in the traffic of my home town! I listen to music (prog and otherwise) when I do the housework or when I'm sitting down in my living room doing something else I enjoy very much - stitching. I know the combination sounds a bit unlikely, but I'm capable of stitching nice, flowery pictures while listening to King Crimson or even Metallica or Black Sabbath!

BTW, Tangerine62: fortunately not all women are interested in 3-minute, unchallenging pop songs! I hate that kind of crap and always have, but I agree that it's difficult to find a woman who loves music you actually have to listen to.

Anyone else out there have the complication that occurs when your other half has a problem with your love of prog?  ah by the sound of it you're in Melbourne! Welcome to the Archives from a fellow Oz (Adelaide)  ... well originally a Pom but that can't be helped - just don't mention the cricket eh?   Yeah, my hubby is a reluctant prog listener ... headphones work best (he wears them to block out the sound ) ... however, he did come with me to see Yes in Melb. 2 yrs ago  ... so its gradually sinking in ... oh, and he says he cant listen to Kasey Chambers anymore - a small victory methinks!

Well done on the Kasey Chambers victory!!!  That is something I don't have to deal with at least. More than happy to mention the cricket after last nights effort!!!   

At work I listen to various prog stations on live365.com.  Although today I will be listening to England win the test match today in Manchester  (if not I will be  ).

I've downloaded loads of tracks from this site to my mp3 thingy and am working my way through them. The most played track is currently Paranoid Android by Radiohead, which amazes me as I thought I didn't like Radiohead!

Usually in my room at home, while chilling here on the forum 

usually on the 'puter (cygnus, don't be dirty) or in the car. i like to have music as background music. i don't like just sitting somewhere and listening to music that much.

In the car, and at the computer mostly

The other week I bought a brass hunting horn that in all probability I couldn't afford and most certainly didn't need. Other things. So yes... I'm a normal, healthy teenager. Oh yes I am...

Trous, I don't know any teenagers that collect P G Wodehouse. You are one of a kind.

All teenagers however should listen to prog, have a healthy interest in comedy, act, write, draw and paint while talking loudly to people as well as have a brass hunting horn and spend plenty of time with their girlfriends (in the country). 
 
It keeps them from pestering their parents for money and provides protection from attacks from rabid foxes.

By the way, what is a 'necessarily' healthy time to spend with a girlfriend??
