When you listen to prog, do you prefer jazz or classical influences?

I like both Jazz (Jazz-Funk) and Classical a lot. I have been more into jazz/funk/fusion because of John Scofield (being my favorite compositional gutiarist) but classical music like Arnold Scheonberg and his serial style of playing has always kept me readily interested in the classical genre beyond the greatness of Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven, and others.

One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive
Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.

Damn, I didn't read the first post with the question. I just read the "which way do you lean?" so I voted for jazz because I love jazz music and just sort of like classical. But after reading the real question, I would have to vote for classical.

I like some jazzy-fusion bands, but the jazzier groups like Weather Report aren't my fav. The classical influence is sometimes bad represented for the cheesy use of strings (listen to The New Trolls), but the groups that made it right (Yes, Moody Blues, Early KC) compense the others that just ruins it.

Bach, Ma, Bros, Déia, Dante.

woops I voted classical but I didn't read the question right. I actually think I prefer Jazz influences in prog, though I prefer to listen to classical over Jazz ususally (kind of wierd eh?).
