Kind of a tossup between jazz and classical.  Blues is a close third.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I listen a lot to singer/songwriters like Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake and Dylan. But also classic rock and "soft" rock, ex. CSN&Y.

Ok,I listen to many kinds of music.But I think that after Extreme prog metal and post rock/metal(which maybe are my favorite kinds of music),my favorite genres are doom metal(mostly doom death and funeral doom black metal),depressive rock/black metal and shoegaze.

This is all demonstrating that Prog lovers have very expansive musical tastes.  I suppose if all one listens to is Prog then they're not going to chime in, but I think thats few and far between.  I don't want to presume too much, but I don't think thats always the case with some other genres.  I know guys that only listen to metal.  Or only to hip hop.  Or only to alternative.  The expansiveness of Prog, and the various roads we take to become Prog lovers, opens our minds to other highly diverse music.

For me it would be between Classic Rock and Heavy Metal, though right now I'm more inclined towards Metal.

I don't listen to nearly enough classical music, but love it when i do. Classic rock, some metal, folk, the Smiths and similar such fare.

I don't have a favourite genre. If the music is good, I don't mind which genre it is.

^ much same as Lucas. If the music is good, I don't care what the genre is. Though I don't care too much for jazz, while R&B, motown and soul don't figure at all and most pre-20th century "classical" leaves me unmoved.

When people ask me what kind of music I listen to I answer...Prog Rock, Avant-Garde, and Jazz.
 
So....the Avant-Garde and Jazz.

Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.

Mainly classic-style rock metal, leaning towards more symphonic metal...  but as I look through my CD wallet I see classic rock, extreme metal, instrumental post-metal, sludge, accoustic 'lounge' rock, Satanic '70's-style rock, Norweigan black, Spanish guitar instrumental, blues rock, Black Sabbath, classical, funk, and (being Canadian) Rush.

After prog it's probably a tie between Blues, Bluegrass, Country and Southern Rock - Americana I suppose. Not necessarily obvious bedfellows with prog but I don't care - I love it!
