I would say about 50%, with another 20% psychadelic or late 60's rock, the rest classics albums of rock, hard rock and metal..... Believe me I have something of everything from Sweet, to Partirdge family, Mussorsky to Gershwin, Janis Joplin to Grateful dead, Fairport convention to Incredible string band, Sinatra to Lou rawls, Streisant to Sandy Denny, Cirque du soleil to soundtracks, even some Disco.....I guess I have had some phases but Prog has been steady forever.

collection sizable. I have over 300 prog LP's.

I voted 40%. It must be somewhere between 30 and 40% in fact. I have a comprehensive list at home, sorted by years the way iguana did it which is very interesting. My "oldest" released record is "Please, please me" from The Beatles, 1963; my most recent one is the last "New Model Army", 2005. The years from which I have the most records are 1969, 1970 and 1971 (Over 100 of each year, all rock genres); the year from which I have the less records must be (I need to check) 1987 or 1988 (less than 10). Most of my prog collection (around 500) is made of 1970's symphonic prog. The rest is standard 1960's and 70's rock, late 70's and early 80's new wave and a lot of alternative bands since the 90's. ------------- Pierre R, the man who lost his signature |

About 25% of our vast CD collection is pop/rock (the rest is mainly classical, with substantial doses of jazz, new age, and mandarin pop as well). Of that 25%, about 30% is prog. So I come at lower than 10%, which is a choice not listed. I shall leave the site now, shall I? ------------- Blog this: http://artrock2006.blogspot.com |

Wow, how anal am I, I actually had to dust off my calculator and do the calculation -with my good ole grade D math. As for the results, well, according to the definion here on progarchives it would be 33%, but according to my own stricter definion of prog the figure drops to 27,5%... Either way, I was able to go for 30% with a good conscience Ah, but I would change it for less than 10% if that figure contained several hundred prog CD's as was the case with somebody in this thread...!

Just a few years ago I listened to skater-rock or punk (I once played
in a punk-band). Then, one year ago I discovered the progressive rock
for myself and now I listen to prog-rock as often as I can. Prog-rock is the only music I listen to (most of it is Gentle Giant). Together with the other guitar-player of our band who now listens to prog either I was able to change the style of the band from punk into prog-rock (nearly the biggest change that can be possible I think). Now we're looking for a keyboarder. Yeah, a 100% of the music I listen to is prog!!! |

of prog, probably around 40%. Probably 20% is psychedelic, 20% is folk and folk/rock and the remaining 20% is a mixture of hard rock, garage, industrial and beat. |

Less than 10 %. All I really have that's prog is Close to the
Edge, Moving Pictures, and Seasons End. Out of roughly 100 CDs
and Vinyls. Though I do have The Magician's Birthday by Uriah Heep, if you consider that prog. Oh, and I forgot the 12 or so Pink Floyd CDs I have. Still not much more than 10% though. |

I'll answer that one for Jean: The collection accumulated over the years; we both already had a rather big one when we met. There were some duplicates in it after they were merged, but it still was big. However, as we grew older we started preferring listening to the radio; WDR 3 is an excellent channel. We still listen to the odd album from our collection from time to time, and there are some artists we still buy all new albums from. But nevertheless it is the radio for us most of the time. And of course the music we play ourselves. It is like having a big library. Why does one not throw away a book after having read it? Because books are like old friends; you can return to them whenever you want. It is the same with albums. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

I have my CD traveling case full of nothing but prog acts, pro and indie, past and current. So yeah, I'm sure the prog side of my music collection will continue to grow and grow. :) |
