Blues/Progressive?

[Necromancer]

I'm just taking a survey to see which style of rock members here listen to the most. Blues rock or Progressive rock? or Other? sub-genres, etc.

Feel free to explain your preference of choice.

While traditional rock and roll is ultimately based on the blues.

Progressive rock tends to be based more in European classical music.

I voted for the blues rock because R&B/Blues/Funk/Soul are mainly my favorite genres and styles. But when mixed with rock & roll. Bands like the Rolling Stones (emerge), Led Zeppelin (the blues rock band that influenced prog. more than any other), Black Sabbath, ZZ Top. Aerosmith, Bad Company, Deep Purple, and so on.

From Blues Rock, I either go back to R&B artist and bands, or forward to 70s Funk artist and music.

I still love my progressive as well, I just actually listen to the blues/R&B orientated bands and artists music the most.

I enjoy Blues rock bands. But I love progressive rock bands. I also like bands that can straddle the line... like Frumpy

My only real question here is why you limited us to blues, progressive, and a fill-in-the-blank other box. You should have gone through all the major forms of rock music, and some of the non-major ones as well.

That said, I listen to blues rock more than progressive rock. And traditional blues more than blues rock.

I can't choose between the two because it really depends on what mood I am in. Voted 'other.'

MB already has countless threads concerning most all major forms/genres of rock music already, with polls added as well.

I'm mainly only concerned with the majority of listeners to Blues rock or Progressive rock. Its not that hard or to much trouble for someone to explain why they may like a different genre or sub-genre other than the two listed.

I voted other, as there is no one type of music that I would listen to more than the other when these genres were at their most popular in the 60`s and 70`s. Instead of blues rock versus progressive rock, I`d say blues rock versus psychedelic rock is a better match up, as these were two of the dominant rock styles of the 60`s. Or if we`re talking 70`s then hard rock versus progressive rock, as both blues rock and psychedelic rock had died out in terms of popularity by the early 70`s and blues rock had largely been replaced with hard rock and psycehdelic rock with progressive rock.

i voted "other" as I'm a somewhat jazz and metal hybrid

but between the two, I'd go for prog cos it's just more interesting

[TheNiceGuy]

If you count Art-Rock as Prog, then I guess it'd be that for me. Mind you I like a lot of bands who branch out to both genres. But a few more options in the poll would have probably been better, as has been pointed out.

I voted Blues Rock, it's full of life.
