Approximately speaking. ;-) This is not about non-prog music, it is about non-prog ROCK.
 
NOTE: For the purposes of this poll, proto-prog/prog related do not count as prog, so adjust your internal measuring devices accordingly. You are allowed to not count music you think should be in the archives, as long as your opinion is not wildly and obviously incorrect.
 
SECOND NOTE: Unlike all my other posts, this poll is not elitist; I'm just curious. ;-)
 
THIRD NOTE: My answer is 10% at the most.
 
FINAL NOTE: Do you think the results of this poll will be biased by its being in General Music rather than Prog Lounge?

my buddy Dan has a wide range of music from classical to jazz to pop (he also loves prog), so when I visit him it's a good chance to indulge in all sorts of music.. so we'll hear some James Brown or Leo Kottke or Honneger or Cat Stevens, just good music generally, so I'd say about 10 % non Prog

I should have added, I listen to plenty of non-prog, just not non-prog rock. And the purpose of this poll is not to demean eclectic tastes, or even liking AC/DC Wink, just to satisfy an internal curiousity sparked by things I have seen said.
 
Also, I've been listening to Honneger lately on your advice, and he has another fan. DISSONANCE IS KING! Wink

Wow, I surprised myself.
I was about to vote 50 per cent, then I realized I spend about 8 hours a day on average listening to music and more of the rock/metal I listen to daily is prog rock/metal than I realized.
20 per cent would be about it.

I know, I thought I'd switch things up. That's why I listen to avant-garde music: I value unpredictability over all else, even if it's annoying.

Probably just under 50% of my listening time, at the moment, is taken up with non prog.

I'd say 60%ish of my listening is non prog, be it folk, jazz, electronica or even Iron Maiden

Recently, like 70 or 80%. Embarrassed
But usually, i'd say it's about 50 prog & 50 non-prog, or 60 prog & 40 non-prog.

I am sinking into prog every single day, but when I have some spare time (in these days it´s most of the time as I´m unemployed) I get romantic with myself and ought to go with my beginnins in rock music, death, nu,trash metal, jazz,some spanish punk,...
You know, even if you´re most into prog you can´t deny your rock roots, though
I´m always wanting to explore more and more of this marvellous prog universe
The water rushes over all
cities crash in the mighty wave;
the final man is very small,
plunging in for his final bathe

If we're talking about non-prog ROCK, I would estimate it's around 40-50 %. With non-prog MUSIC, it'd probably go up to 70 %.

I'd say that three out every ten albums I hear are non-prog. A selection of hard rock, metal and the prog-related and proto-prog bands that brought me to the site.

So 30%.

But I'm not asking if you listen to folk, jazz, or electronica, I'm asking if you're listening to non-prog rock! Doesn't anyone read the entire question!?

I'd say around %40, but that's a guess. I listen to plenty of Nine Inch Nails, Buckethead, Zeppelin, and tons of Metal. But I'm relatively new to prog, so that number is continually going down.

I don't have a last.fm and I'm too tired to keep that many statistics about listening habits, but for me it's right now split more or less 50-50 between prog rock/metal and rock/metal whose connections to prog are at best second-hand in some way and at worst tenuous.

It can vary. If I'm stuck up with a new Prog band, then I'll barely listen to Hard Rock/Fusion/Pop/etc.

In a average, it mus be 50% Hard Rock(including Heavy Prog), and 50% Prog. In the middle of each there are some Jazz Fusion, Pop, Alt Rock, others..
