I usually go through a yearly phase where I listen to nothing but rap for a couple weeks, and then another where I listen to nothing but sticky bubble-gum pop.
Other than that it's pretty much some form of Prog all the time.

Hmm....I guess I'd say about 40% of the time.

Strangely, when I don't listen to "classic" progressive, R.I.O. or that kind of stuff, I enjoy hardcore punk or death metal. Barely mainstream rock, yet not prog at all.

I dunno, i just said 50-50. I don't count what I listen to, nor do I make sure that I listen to X-MANY prog albums in one day. I just listen to what I listen to and if it's prog then... okay.

Pfeh. Quite a bit. A touch of jazz, pop, classical or rock every now and then.

90 % of the time, even though I consider myself to be on a "prog high" right now. There's so much good music outside Prog that deserves attention too.

I don't think anyone does.

I would agree, just not in rock music. ;-) Which I hope is what you were voting in accordance with.

I'm guessing around 70-80% of the time I'm not listening to prog. Have been sticking to Jazz mostly, but when I'm not there it'll be some prog or folk or some other great music exploration.

Less than 10% to be honest.

Ha-ha! It seems Sunny in Jeddah, TMG: Orb & BroSpence got the question wrong, too. I'm guessing I listen to about 10-15 % rock.

I swear to God
do people just read the first 2/3 of the original question and move on
it's not like it's a very long sentence
or I didn't bold a reiteration of that sentence at the beginning of my post
so I guess I can see why you thought I was asking if you listened to Jazz

Do you think the results of this poll will be biased by its being in General Music rather than Prog Lounge?
Eh, didn't change anything for me anyway.

I'd say about 50%, which, considering all the other music I have eg Classical, brass/military bands, other rock etc it is pretty high for one genre.

Well plenty of people just read the title of the thread and post, as lazy as people can be. That's why it's important to create a good title. Maybe as an alternative title for this thread could be "How often do you listen to Rock/Metal that isn't prog?"

Then people would be saying "Yeah, I listen to prog all the time". I remember a while ago, there was a (admittedly useless) poll asking what your least favorite of the big 3 was, and half of the people were like "I love King Crimson!" And I was like

I was asking whether it would cause different types of people to respond, making it not an accurate sample of PA, not whether or not the title of the forum would subliminally affect your answer. ;-) Then again, I didn't anticipate a significant amount of people reading the first 1/3 of the question and moving right on to vote and post.

You've been listening to the wrong rock music then.

I voted 40%- but I think that was a mistake- according to my last fm charts- it's mostly Prog- so I have no idea why the hell I put 40%.
