How many progressive albums are in your music collection? By "progressive", I mean albums by bands that are included on PA (prog-related and proto-prog discounted). I just counted mine, and the total was 1,216. -------------  |

I've got around 1450 titles. If we apply your criteria, probably 1200 are officially prog around here.
------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

| About 1000 I believe, under this forum's boundaries. 1500 that I consider to be progressive music. |

Hi,
1700 LP's last I counted and 1600 CD's ... I have been steadily swapping the CD's for the LP's ... while I love the art work and the music, the LP's are way too heavy ... hey SNOW ... way too heavy! ... even after all these years. It's why we call so much of that stuff "progressive, you know?
 My collection starts about 1967 or so.
And the only things I have are those I love dearly and you can see the enthusiasm of that material here in this board when I write a book on anything! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

At least a thousand under the prog categories, which is most of my collection. Maybe another 500 or so outside of that. Haven't counted in a while, and I'm not feeling that obsessive at the moment.  ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

| Exactly 332 out of the 576 CD's I own are on ProgArchives. (Don't think I counted them. I just keep a data base of my cd's on my computer, ordered by year, band, category, and country, so it's easy to know the number...and yes, I know that it is super nerd...but what can I say? At the end of this year, if everything works out the way I hope to, I will get my degree as an accountant, so there's the answer.) |

Prog Archive standards of progressive are so lenient I wouldn't normally use their criteria. Every album I own with exception to about 20 country/folk albums, and 50 or so various orchestral recordings. I sell my albums if they're not rare or brilliant; so I may have had in my hands at one point or another around 3 thousand, because i will buy about 5 or 6 albums a week and sell most of them back. I've kept a lot - so in my house I probably have about 500. In those 500 are my Anglagards, Bancos, Return to Forever, HoyryKone, Sloche albums - things either hard to find or are brilliant. Proudly on the mantle is the original EP print of Anglagard - Hybris. My point is...size doesn't count - especially if you have a bunch of Opeth / Porcupine Tree/ Devin Townsend nonsense cluttering your shelves....content does. -------------

Around 500 CDs out of which I'd say 75% are prog.
Then there are the vinyls which I do not listen to anymore for years, most of the ones I love the most I have also on CD but I guess there must be another 100 or so which I do not have on CD.

I've got about 6,000 and maybe about a thousand more that aren't prog. I have no Mariah Carey or Céline Dion. I do have about 25 Elvis albums though.
