So here are my descriptions: Light: You listen to some of the classics and a few modern bands, but overall your musical collection is just fluttered with some prog and prog influenced bands. You own and listen to a lot of music that isn't prog, but occasionally will pirate a prog album if it looks interesting. Medium: You own a lot of the classics and love them along with prog music, but you aren't willing to give up other musical genres just for this one. You sometimes think prog is too pretentious and at times ridiculous, but you still have your own certain bands you follow, and you are open-minded to recommendations. Heavy: You listen to A LOT of prog. You've heard a lot of underground prog and you are in love with the underground scene. You are a prog completionist, and a fan of all of the classics along with numerous other versions of progressive music. You still occasionally glance at other genres, but overall your world is dominated by the world of Progressive Music. You are in love with prog. I listen to NOTHING unless it has the prog label on it: That one's pretty self-explanitory. You are not open-minded towards other genres because all other genres suck--end of story. Prog is the only genre worth ever listening to. Please vote, I think this will be interesting. I for one and somewhere in between medium and heavy...so that's where my vote goes. ------------- I'm a reasonable man, get off my case |

I would say medium heavy,because I am a completionist and do listen to a lot of different prog genres,but I put medium instead of heavy because of this part of your description.. "You still occasionally glance at other genres, but overall your world is dominated by the world of Progressive Music." I listen to quite a bit of music other than prog. -------------  |

I would call myself light to medium...I am very strict when it comes to
prog...sticking with the bands and the music I know and like...very
sceptic (often as a mistake) when it comes to experiencing new
music...without a good,solid recommendation from my rock-prog-stuff
like this expert,dad,or here on the forum...I hardly start anything... -------------

Heavy, although I do like a lot of other music other than prog, prog is by far my favorite genre and the only music I bother getting and listening to on my computer.

actually im more medium heavy. i also love tmv way more than atdi. im
heavy because i listen to dream theater but dislike satch or becker
because theyre not prog. prog dominates me because it's the best, and because jazz is boring to listen to. -------------

Good poll. I'm light-medium. I love prog, but it's not my favorite genre, and I have a lot more, say, folk-rock on my computer than prog. But I'm certainly open to expanding! ------------- Life is like an avantgarde play because tuna. |

I'm somewhere between heavy-hardcore and nothing unless prog. I only pay attention to prog in first place, then jazz and classical. The rest of the music is under this genres and I don't usually waste my time on them (with some exceptions that surprisingly have a prog relationship, like Metallica old stuff or similar). ------------- We were always be much human than we whish to be. |

Medium to Heavy. Im not much into subgenres such as Kraut-Rock, Zeuhl and Indo/Raga Prog, but love other prog genres. Also, I listen to other music than prog too. ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |

I'm the only heavy-hardcore so far.Most of what I listen to is prog or at least prog related;folk rock,pomp rock,classic metal ect...the only non-prog related music I like is:Disco! ------------- What's gonna come out of my mouth is gonna come out of my soul."Skip Prokop" |

Between Heavy and I'm an Ignorant, Prog-Loving A**hole. The only other bands I regularly listen to besides prog are Van Halen, The Flaming Lips and very rarely U2. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |

Wow these are interesting results...I actually expected more light-medium/medium people than the heavy's/medium-heavies and so forth. There are a lot more heavy proggers here than I ever thought...nice results... ------------- I'm a reasonable man, get off my case |
