it's not bad obviously, you have a whole bunch of great stuff!
but because the albums i like most are missing (early camel stuff, u only have one king crimson album? , godspeed you! black emperor, caravan, soft machine (you don't seem to be that much into canterbury, do you?)) I'll only give it "average". But it's prog-fan average! way better than "normal" people's collections! Please don't misunderstand that!

Good collection.Lots of ELP,Yes,Genesis and Rush...you can't go wrong there! You may want to explore bands that are not so prog based but have prog tendencies.ie Muse,Radiohead and Mansun are all worth a try.That would help expand your collection a bit.Also if you like Tubular Bells then you MUST get Ommadawn and Amarok as well! Maybe some Vangelis -Heaven Hell,Spiral and Albedo 0.39 wouldn't go amiss either.

You're definitely missing the early Camel, Marillion, Floyd and Gong albums - and you NEED ITCOTCK.
Pretty good, otherwise
P.S. No Hawkwind?

great collection, You have of most great bands some albums, but not their best. There's room to expand. (get a bigger house)
BTW do you like every album you have?

Good collection!
Good to see so many Rush, Genesis & Yes albums. It looks a bit like my collection in that respect.
I've no George Benson, but a fair amount of Madonna and Jacko records..

Richard's right.. no record collection is complete without ITCOTCK.
Also I'd get ELP-Tarkus, ELP - Pictures, and Yes-Relayer, as well as Pink Floyd - Meddle... all pretty easy to still get on vinyl thru ebay....

THIS IS ELP

I'm getting the Lamb and have been searching around for Relayer for a
while... those are the two big gaps in my Genesis and Yes collections

Your collection is quietly good, but where are King Crimson, Van Der Graaf/Hammill, Gentle Giant and others????

Very traditional collection - lots of prog classics. You'd probably enjoy the Italian scene I would wager, so check out PFM, Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso, Picchio Dal Pozzo.
PFM and Banco have done English versions of some albums if you cant bare the thought of Italian, but I would try to stick to the originals.
Storia Di Un Minuto (no translation); Per Un Amico (English version: 'Photos Of Ghosts' with extra instrumental track Old Rain); L'Isola De Niente (English version: 'The World Became The World), and Chocolate Kings (already in English) are all exceptional. Beware the English lyrics though - predominantly written by Pete Sinfield, who decided that rather than translate Pagani's original poetry, he'd make something else up - and, as you can imagine, its mostly nonsense about windmills, fairies, and pixie treehouses (a minor exaggeration there...). They got rid of him for CHocolate Kings and got an Italian poetess to help contribute to what are some really poignant and prophetic lyrics.
Banco's 1st album (of the same name), Darwin, and Io Sono Nato Libero are widely regarded as their most innovative and enjoyable works. I think Nato Libero was re-recorded in English, but cant remember now.
Both bands drew heavily on English influences, but added a much more classical atmosphere to their music, with a tendency towards the gentle and ambient, rather than the bombastic and flamboyant, as bands like ELP, VDGG etc. had a propensity to become at times.
Also, if you like Tangerine Dream, try Neu!, Can, and possibly even Art Zoyd. Either of the Amon Duul's may hold interest for you too. I suppose the message is, if you're looking for something new, try Italy and Germany...

Give it time and broadening tastes/eclectism ,(and of course, money to pay for the habit), it'll could grow to a reasonable size.

If this was your entire music collection...I wouldn't have been overly impressed...but as a record collection alone it is very good.

oh, i didn't notice that it's only records..... then it's a great collection, of course, since i don't have any vinyls ....(my father has tons though)
But I'm still missing Canterbury, Krautrock, post-rock
How come you don't have more King Crimson or Camel stuff? Did you hear it at a friend's house and didn't like it? Or haven't you even tried it yet?
Also i think that our tastes differ quite a lot. Genesis, Yes, Rush and ELP aren't even in my top 5 bands

Good records! (I'm unclear, do you mean Vinyls/CD's/tapes/whatever or just vinyls). You NEED to expand on your Marillion, KC, FRANK ZAPPA!!??, Alan Parsons, Rush (get all of them), and maybe a few more. You have the LEAST essential Jimi Hendrix. Get "Band Of Gypsys" and "Electric Lady Land", you will enjoy those!! If you like Steely Dan's "Aja" get "Pretzel Logic", "Gaucho" and "Countdown to Ecstacy" Weird you have no "The Mothers/Mothers of Invention/Frank Zappa" albums!? Get "Burnt Weeny Sandwhich", "Hot Rats", and "We're only in it for the mone". Wheres your Peter Gabriel!!!! Get "III", "VI"," plays live" and "UP^^^^" NIce to see you have some TODD. But I don't see "A Wizard/ ATRue Star", "Todd", "Inintiation", or "Healing" They are the definitive Todd records. At least you have "Back to the bars"(my dad was at the cleveland show") Anyways I may be wrong 'cuz you might just be talking about vinyls, I dunno?
You got me thinking about my collection, I was half temted to post it

No you got it all covered there, mate!
Similar to my collection actually:
'Lemmy sings Celine Dion'
'Rod, Jane & Freddy sing the hits of Rennaisance (on Methadone)'
What else can a true progger ask for?
