 Topic: Your progressive persona??

I'm quite sure it's a mix between depressing, euphoric, romantic and neurotic.

Adjust my 'endless optimism' to 'endless optimism with a sense of humour'. Canterbury is one of my favorite genres.

I like Uber-depressing music. I run the gambit in terms of taste and i like a wide variety of stuff including some very happy music but my favorites always tend to be very melancholic. Godspeed you! is the perfect example of how i like to feel. i almost enjoy being depressed almost as much as i enjoy being happy. especially when im by myself i get to get all thoughtful and deep and angry. its kinda a cool feeling. . . . . do i need medication?

Denial. 
I put euphoric because the music I listen to is usually euphoric. Admittedly though, I don't feel euphoric nearly as much as I should, more of a content apathy.  There should be a choice for that, picture contentedly apathetic music. Caravan maybe?

I say "other" because I have mellowed over the years (unless I'm driving ) but I'm still a moody old bugger, just not very extreme. I'd say laid-back and chill with the odd burst of mild anger at the world and everything in it.

I've never said it were a requirement; read the question again. It's a poll, to relatively know which mood do the average proghead follow. It's also just an idea coming around in my head... perhaps a common like among a group of people means a mood tendence to follow (that was initially my idea). P.S.: This thread has resurfaced!

I think I'll vote for "other", since I usually am apathetic and indifferent, at least to some extent.

now why did I say that?  I guess what I was getting at was that music helps clear the mind - I'm definately an escapist - like Erik said, you can forget about all the wars and politicians if only for an hour or two...the world is perfect for now 
now I'm off for some self-induced euphoria

I'm all over the place and in between at the drop of a hat  ; I guess you could say I'm usually striving for some kind of worry-free, self-induced euphoria when I listen to music and that leads me to put on something that fits my mood or maybe is the complete opposite if I'm unhappy and want to feel better. I might add "nostalgic" to your list - I tend to be overly sentimental with music which accounts for my "seasonal" listening patterns: certain bands only get played during Spring, Autumn, etc.
Right now I have Vanessa Simmons from BJH playin'...for some reason this one always makes me teary-eyed....those lyrics bring out some familiar feelings that I can't quite put a finger on.....

maybe you have a point, but Euphoria is closer to what I feel...

I guess the word would be "chill;" not really happy nor sad, simply in a state of unperturbed indifference. It's really nice, actually.

I suffer with a mood disorder one thats likely to cause me to be stigmatized if I mention it I( I know it will thats the truth) I have been this way for years ... so I`m moody lets just say .There's a prog band to suit every mood I get in theres even some prog bands that go beyond the mood i'm in to moods I can't even explain.

^ I also am so...... but not all the time. Anyways I'm quite surprised with the results: firstly, proggers uses to be very moody..... but then, happiness is at the top  Unexpected for me.......
