 Topic: Your collection's diversity...?
Posted: June 21 2006 at 02:18 |
I thought it might be interesting to share the number of styles of music you have in your collection (other than prog). Let's say that you must have at least ten albums in each style you list, just to keep the list from being too long.
Besides prog, I have at least ten albums of....
Medieval
Renaissance
Symphonic-era Classical
Classical guitar
Comedy
Soundtracks (go ahead, count 'em no matter what style)
New Age
Big Band/Swing
Country
Bluegrass
Brazilian Jazz
( the following are traditional "World Music" styles )
Andean
Indian
Middle Eastern
Balinese
Chinese
Scandinavian
Celtic/British folk-rock
60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's "Rock"
Avant-garde/experimental/electronic
ECM label jazz
(Okay, maybe this wasn't the greatest idea; I give up, my brain hurts now...)

I think that the principle of this thread is quite unfair for people with small collections. I mean, if one only has 100 albums he can have a very broad taste and still not have nearly as many albums as 10 from all the genres he likes.

not a lot of diversity here
Prog Metal (but many different varieties)
Symphonic Prog (classic and modern)
some fusion jazz
melodic death metal
power metal
brutal death metal
black metal
some Art Rock
some jazz
and some classical
I pretty much like to stick to Prog Metal and Symphonic prog which makes up the bulk of my collection at about 150+ prog metal albums and 50-75 symphonic albums

I accidentally read that as 'Geek music' and thought to myself 'that guy must be into FF soundtracks and J-Pop'.

Not that much, I suppose but a lot of my "rock" CD's turned out to be "progrock" instead.

Besides prog:
Swing
Jazz
Classic Rock
Classical
(Very few) Metal (including 80's hair, Nu, heavy...etc)
Techno
Easy Listening
Soundtracks (not really a genre but still worth mentioning, IMO)
80s pop/new wave
Avant-garde
Folk music
I could break things down into more specified categories, but i think this is good enough.

At the last count exactly 50% was prog. Most albums out of Symphonic prog, Space rock,Folk prog, Italian symph (growing fast lately),Krautrock, Canterbury, Progmetal , Art rock and Progrelated. I haven't looked too closely at the rest of the collection lately, I guess it divides somewhat like this Classic rock (Creedence and Kinks making up the bulk of the albums here) Hard rock (Led Zeppelin) Folk rock (Fairport Convention, Steeley span) Mainstream trash (when i checked i saw some albums OMG.....  )
