As in bands albums?
It occurred to me that although I loved a lot of music back then and still own it on vinyl/CD, I don't really listen to it any more. The one band that I can think of that I still play is Gabriel era Genesis, which I still really like. It's also a bit of a cheat answer, but I love Steve Hackett's Genesis Revisited project, so I have all the albums of him playing old Genesis songs live. Bloody love those shows!
Queen, dropped off somewhat for me although I still listen to NotW and Jazz a lot.
Rush, I still get out Hemispheres or All the worlds a stage. I do still play their early 80s albums but that's a different decade!
The furthest I go back generally is the 80s, I was very into the Neo prog stuff and that is still my favourite music.

CSNY, Frampton, Steely Dan, Sabbath, Wishbone Ash etc are regulars on my old turntable. I never was a punk fan though.
If for some bizarre reason the only music I could listen to was Bowie's 70s output, I could very much live with that.

Much as I don't like much prog (of any era) it's interesting that I can hear a lot shared sonic palette with reggae of the time - tape delays, phasers, wah,etc.
Some of my favourite music is post punk, particularly reggae influenced post punk like The Ruts, The Slits, The Police and all the 2 Tone era stuff (I'd live without Bad Manners). So that's late 1970s into the early 80s.
And I like a lot of heavy rock of the 1970s - Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Van Halen. By the mid 1980s heavy rock started to split into the more relentless metal side (Venom to Metallica,etc,etc) or people with bouffant hair (Bon Jovi, post Roth Van Halen,etc) and I lost interest.
I guess I probably listen to more from the '80s and early '90s, then not so much from the later '90s and 2000s. Then quite a lot again from the last 10 to 15 years.
(** Not Yes the band. I have listened to them, but not recently.)
Sabbath, Purple, Free, Grand Funk, Wishbone Ash, Bang, Captain Beyond, Sir Lord Baltimore, Dust, Hawkwind, Budgie, Josefus, Edgar Broughton Band, Amon Duul 2, Buffalo, Mayblitz etc
