 Topic: If prog didn't exist what would you listen to?

Just for fun: If prog in all it's many forms didn't exist, what other genre do you think you would be listening to right now?

There are plenty of current bands I enjoy that are not prog at all. Most of them would fall under the rubric of "Indie rock" I guess.
Also I'd listen to lots of noise-oriented stuff.
Change it up now and then with some Grateful Dead and/or Bob Dylan
I'd probably get along fine without prog, really.

QUALITY MUSIC - Post-swing instrumental jazz: bop, modal, fusion, third stream, some cool jazz + bossa nova
- Romantic and contemporary (not too experimental) classical: just about any Russian, French or Italian instrumental piece, composed between 1830-ish and 1940-ish, excl. Stravinsky, but including Chopin and Liszt, as they mostly worked in Paris. Plus of course Copeland, Mancini and Gershwin.
FEEL GOOD MUSIC - Some US disco (Eurodisco and Bee Gees are out), and funk
- Some Irish and African folk and select Americana, mainly instrumental bluegrass.

Prog is my comfort music - the music I grew up with and that will always be closest to my heart - but I listen to everything. absolutely everything. easier to say what I don't like. Polka Christmas music Dance modern RnB (the nerve - calling it that!) 99% of rap death metal everything else goes - as mood dictates. big fan of Trip Hop (Hooverphonic, massive attack, etc) big fan of the Manchester bands (Doves, Chameleons, Happy Mondays, etc) big fan of Belle and Sebastian Soft Boys Sex Pistols ACDC Rammstein etc, etc, etc

Mainly Jazz and Ambient music. Maybe I'd find more time for Classical music.

I got to see them in Athens, early in their career (3rd album). then I lost track of them for a few years but was glad to rediscover them via "The Life Pursuit", which is a pop masterpiece IMO. then I went back and scooped up all the stuff they'd done in between.

the Life Pursuit is the album that introduced me to them .. I picked it up in a thrift store (the special edition CD/DVD) and I thought it was amazing end to end .. one of those rare perfect albums
