We sort artists by name without using any categories. For classical music we use the names of the composers. Thus Johann Sebastian Bach and his sons and other relatives reside peacefully between B For Bang and Baden-Powell.

Folders in my laptop are organized by genre - prog is organized in three folders - classic prog (late 60s to late 70s), prog & related (1980s to know) and progressive metal. 

Everything else is easy to classify (rock, pop, hard rock, blues, jazz, metal etc.)

I don't agree about "easy to classify"; there is so much music that is a mix of several genres and just can't be classified. Just look at the discussions in this forum about "Is this artist prog"?

And why does it have to be classifiable at all? All that matters is that it is good music. So we avoid the problem completely and just sort by name. It also makes it much more interesting to see the reaction when first time visitors to our house take a look at our collection.

the alphabetic order does not work for me LOL

if i think an artist is progressive, it'll go in the prog folder, simple as that.

The same with my CD collection - alphabetical by artist, and then albums ordered *chronologically for each artist.

*sticking to original release dates, regardless of whether it is a reissue.

And Return to Forever, Chick Corea, Al Di Meola, Stanley Clarke, Lenny White, Larry Coryell, Bill Bruford, Allan Holdsworth, and all modern jazz artists experimenting with electronic equipment and rock sound…

Yes I have my CDs and Albums sorted alphabetically as well.  Easiest way to find the CD you want.  But when I started to rip them into MusicBee almost two years ago I have them sorted by my musical moods as well for easy play lists while I am working from home or for my sticks for driving.

Now that has been the most painful thing I have done in many years to RIP and catalog.  I sometimes wish I never started with it.  What's worse is you realize you have gaps that want completing and you start spending a bunch of money to close those gaps.  But heck music is an enjoyable hobby right?

It's the same case with Chick, yet he remains absent. If we get stingy about jazz artists that only dabbled in fusion for a brief period in the 70s, then realistically, many of these artists should be gone (or relegated to Related if the standards for that grouping were to be expanded to include jazz musicians). And in Chick's case, he remained in a "progressive" realm (in the context of jazz AND jazz fusion) for a much larger portion of his discography than the aforementioned two giants. That being said, I realize this involves difficult discussions and debates, so I'm not really complaining. Just observing.

EXCELLENT point!

You should have a look at our library; the books in it are not sorted at all. The reason is that if we arranged them in some order we would soon have to start to move thousands of books around on the shelves because they would be filled. So we just buy new shelves whenever necessary.

We sort alphabetically within the artists too.

I am still mustering up the courage to alphabetise my collection. I figure it’ll take a weekend...and well I’ve had order before...until it wasn’t order and stuff just managed to mingle with each other and taking vacations in altogether different parts of the collection.

Exactly, once the collecting bug bites you just want more and more, almost like an addiction.  What always intrigues me about collecting any artist is rooting out the 'rarities' which is not so difficult these days with such stuff often being thrown in as extras on modern CD reissues and compilations.

Yeah... but it's what you end up doing.  Why buy a box set when you have all the albums...but you buy it because of the previously unreleased otherwise you feel you are incomplete.  Crazy really right :)

The oldest trick in the book - get your devoted fans to purchase stuff they already own by chucking in a few rarities... or am I just being cynical?

I'm 29 and I don't see those bands as prog, NiN is industrial rock and Sigur Ros post rock. You can ask fans of those bands and they might not be into prog at all. And they will hardly mention prog if you ask the genre of music they make. I think stuff like Supertramp, Moody Blues, Radiohead, early Queen, etc, might be debated or fall into "crossover" prog, but those artists are simply a different genre.

 

NIN has gone beyond industrial, they did ambient/electronic, atmospheric music, I don't mind them being here on PA.

As for Sigur Ros, post rock is a prog subgenre, isn't it? No problem for them being on PA or being considered a prog band. What am I missing here? Confused



Post rock here features as a subgenre, but I don't think most people consider it so. I love Sigur Ros and GY!BE among others, but they're usually considered simply post rock. Not prog. Different is the case of, say, canterbury which is definitely a sub-genre or prog, or zehul too, or krautrock. So Caravan, Soft Machine, Magma, Neu, Can, Faust, etc. Most would agree they're prog bands. Post rock I think most people consider it a genre in its own right, in fact I was surprised when I saw it in the website first LOL. Same with the black metal/post metal stuff like Agalloch. I don't mind these bands being here, I just find it odd that these bands are not only in the website, but they're also listed as prog bands, while many suggestions of bands to be included not even as prog, but as prog-related are constantly denied. I mean bands like Boston or Dire Straits for instance. I think Smashing Pumpkins and Wire were suggested too more than once. It seems that sometimes they're very liberal in the definition of prog and sometimes they're very strict in what even considers "prog-related", NOT even prog.

If the music is good, does it really matter how we classify it?
No, not really. I have Deacon Blue and Prefab Sprout lined up for Prog Britannia 5, simply because they both make good music. Smile
