what kind of music prog fans like to listen too?

I like Jazz( Garbarek, Jean Luc Ponty, Herbie Hancock, Chic Corea, Polish Jazz - Makowicz, stanko, scieranski, smietana, Laboratotium, Kulpowicz; some punk and classic.

Sometimes I turn on my player with Tina Turner, Police,
Rod Stewart, Rolling Stones, David Bowie (BTW what do you think about his works with Brian ENO?), Tom Petty etc-
it unstressed me.

I knew You you'd wrote "JAZZ" , but all jazz or some kind of it. The same as for classic. I like Vivaldi, Beethoven, Mahler, Tchaykovski, and do not like opera.

Nirvana and Sublime are my 2 non-prog favorites. I go to a lot of parties, and some of their dance/rave music(?), w/e you call it, is pretty good.

The Beatles, The Police, Dire Straits, Rory Gallagher, Bruce Springsteen, even Elvis occasionally... I do have the entire Led Zep studio catalogue, but have not really felt like listening to it for a long time now. Nick Drake's compilation called "A Treasury" has proven to be a most excellent choice when I feel a need to wind down from intensive prog music listening.

Flamenco music, especially the art of the guitar like Paco de Lucia, Paco Pena and Juan Martin.

Sixties/early Seventies like CCR,The Doors, The Ventures, The Moody Blues, Procol Harum, Spencer Davis Group, Love, The Misunderstood, The Shadows, Dave Edmunds.

Guitar-dominated rock like Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Rory Gallagher, Led Zeppelin, Santana, early Black Sabbath, Stray Cats, Jeff Beck.

Folk music from Rumania (great violin), South-America (the pan flutes), steels drums and Merengue from Central-America and the Caribean, Mexican mariacchi.

Classical guitar like Julian Bream.

Electronic music like Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Free System Project, Red Shift, Airsculpture, Synergy, JM Jarre, E Froese.

And I would like to explore more classical music because so many great prog has been derived from classical music pieces!

 Led Zeppelin are my main non-prog love, I can pretty much listen to them for hours on end and never get sick of them. Occasionally, I'll listen to The Beatles(but only post-65).

I'd like to get more into Deep Purple, all I have is a compilation on cassette called When we rock we rock and when we roll we roll.

What I've heard of Black Sabbath doesn't really entice me.

I also like some Miles Davis.

When I first read this I thought you wrote the Bluesbreakers. Now that's good
stuff. If you ever get a chance listen to the guitar work by Clapton or Peter
Green with Mayall and the breakers. Great stuff.

Silence is the most important thing in music. Music is made of silences.

Silence id 50% of good music, the other half is ... well, non-silence. One can't exist without the other ... it all depends on the proper balance.

I pretty much can hack any kind of music - even bubblegum pop like Britney. It's easier to say what I don't like;

most opera (bits are good, most is turgid)
most metal (I'm solidly into classis hard rock - Purple, Sabs, Zep etc - but metal just makes me laugh, it's soooo corny)
most country (though there are obvious exceptions. The stuff I really don't like is that Nashville/Hollywood country - but I love '70s Emmylou, Gram Parsons etc and totally dig what Ryan Adams does - I guess country rock is my thing)
Most reggae - I'm just too white (why elese would I like prog). I like Bob Marley's greatest hits but that's about it for me I'm afraid
Trance music - soooo boring. I was into it in the early 90s but then it all just became the same.

All the rest usually has something worth listening to in it somewhere. If pushed to name three kinds of music I most identify with they'd be
1 Prog
2 Classic Rock
3 Post Rock/Electronica

  • classic rock (Led Zeppelin, Queen, Deep Purple, Spirit, ELO, The Band,...)
  • classical music(Mozart, Beethoven, Grieg, Debussy,...)
  • some pop(Simon&Garfunkel, ABBA, Sting, Phil Collins,...)
  • some metal (Stratovarius, Metallica, Mercyful Fate,...)
  • some finnish rock bands(22-Pistepirkko, CMX, Kauko Röyhkä, YUP,...)
  • recently I've listening to old jazz(Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk,...)

Okay, best non-prog music---- Soundgarden. Chris Cornell is just about the greatest vocalist ever.  

I like a lot of grunge, like Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Nirvana      

I like a lot of blues influenced rock, Like The Tragically Hip and The White Stripes      

Metal, Classic Rock, like Metallica, Megadeth, And of couse Led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath

Acid/ psychedelic stuff, like The Doors, and The Coral

Then just some general bands, like Audioslave, Staind, Three Days Grace, A lot of hard rock like that, some rap (only Eminem, some people consider him complete crap, but I don't care. Also, 50 Cent sucks) And I even like Coldplay.

 The Tragically Hip, Audioslave, Metallica,  The Doors, Led Zeppelin, The White Stripes, Nirvana, Megadeth,   I even like Coldplay. I like a lot of blues-rock and blues-influenced rock. Acid rock
