How Much albums prog you have in vinyl?

Phew! And ofcourse, man has to do what man has to do, I'm just too sensitive with these subjects...

I have little on Vinyl..Mainly Genesis,Jethro Tull,a few Tangerine Dream...

But my collection of CD's has turn to an incredible 500 (at least...)

In the 70s, I had quite a few. Then I joined the Navy in 1980 and pay some debts off I sold most of them after copying them to cass. You can't play albums on ship. In my last year after buying about 3 grand in stereo equipment in Japan, I started up again. But with the high tech equipment, I noticed how lousy conventional LPs were sounding. Ticks and pops even on brand new ones. Then I discovered Nautilus and Mobile Fidelity and fell in love with their audiophile LPs. First up, Parsons I Robot. I was knocked out, incredible. No comparison to the coventional LP I bought just a month earlier.

So I just bought about as many of these as I could (about 200) while eventually moving to cds at the same time. Not all of them are prog but I got some doozies, DSOTM, Yes's CTTE, Aqualung among others and The Beatles and Rolling Stones box sets. Also bought some duplicates that are still sealed to this day.

That's real great
I'm jealous.

I have the entire Rush discography save for new stuff and the first three records on vinyl, none of which I can find at used record shops. I have ELP Tarkus and BSS on vinyl. Also Moody Blues, Yes's CTTE, DSOTM, and the Wall on vinyl. I have a bunch more other-genre music though. I am currently on the hunt for a first pressing Moving Pictures.

Unfortunately, I don't have the power, influence, money or scientific knowhow to transport Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart back in time to 1981 to record 'Moving Pictures Vols 2-20' at six-month intervals using the same gear

so an i-pod, loads of good music and the element of surprise will have to do I'm afraid....

I can totally empathise - I have about 1000 albums on vinyl and another 700-800 cds yet most of the time when I want to load up the car cd changer I really struggle to find anything I want to listen to at that moment in time.

I guess it's just the ephemeral nature of 'pop' music. You just always want the thrill of the new.

Seriously considering a 60gb i-pod and an in-car attachment so I can just hit shuffle and have my onw personal 15,000-song radio station of the good stuff. And it would remove that awful - do I want The Idiot, Idiot Wind, Wind and Wuthering, Wuthering Heights.... etc etc etc

I just started collecting vynil a month ago (due to lack of equipment) and i have approx. 20 albums. and more because im being given a bunch so yeah, its getting there.

About a hundred in vynil, and maybe 50 to 70 in CD.

er... never counted them, but I probably have about 30 prog CDs and 2-300 prog albums.

Vinyl is best
