I listen to a lot of classical stuff, but I'm much more into the complex/technical/avant-garde jazz composers. I studied musical modes. Classical music is the primary element, but the study of scales and modes after jazz expanded the musical maps forever. What could I be without any blue note?

Classical. Pure jazz is boring.

Not very familiar with these genres, but, in general, I prefer jazz.

Classical music is my life blood. I consider The Symphony to be the pinnacle of musical expression.

I chose classical, but I really enjoy both equally.  I could have easily flipped a coin since I would not be unhappy with either choice.

When I was a child I used to listen classcial music. Even I like it, specially the powerful one, bombastic and symphonic. Beethoven is the greatest one for me, some of his symphonies or Tchaykovsky. For example 1812 Overture. Some Overtures of Wagner or Verdi, etc....

About Jazz, I didn't listened so much, and I preffer when it is fusion jazz, cos siems to be more organic. If not it's too anarchical for my taste.

Yes, same case for me.

But if you're asking me whether I listen to music influenced by one more than the other, I'm not sure I'd have an answer to that.

I never really got into Classical but there's some stuff I like, Jazz on the other hand I really love although I have taken a break from it for the past few years.

The thurst of your idea is alright, but in general, this is a bad question to ask.
 
Classical music is, at the very least 700 years old, and there is history for it, and what is called "jazz" is really just very new and probably only about 75 years old or so.
 
Now remember that "recording" allows for us to have some "history" of these things, and "jazz" is simply another form that counters what classical music had.
 
We do not really have a "popular music" history that runs 700 years, and that makes the ability to look at "jazz" with a much better idea, really difficult.
 
"Classical" ... is the ONLY history we have! As of "today", we're not adding about 75 years or so of jazz history, and about 60 to 65 years of rock music history, and (hopefully) these will change what is called "music" and its history FOREVER in the future.
 
In many ways, we're a part of the time that changed history, and we can attribute it to electricity and the recording!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Classical... more similar to Prog...many artists and bands have rearranged classical music.
Also the musical studies of 70s Prog Rock bands was classical...

I'm confused, is this the question or is it the one listed above the poll options? (Which would you listen to for the rest of your life)
