The music for sure. But I also buy used vinyls in a good condition, because I like to discover hidden gems.
Artwork doesn't really matter, but I like the cover to be in good condition

1) I don't usually buy what I've not heard of. The Music.

2) the price has to be right (< $10, except for the kickass gatefold of Lamb I have)

3) I almost buy exclusively used prog, classical and electronic.
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

When you are burning something in the name of religion why should the environment matter?

If, and that not often, i get a vinyl. Its because i allready know the album, and i cant get it on CD.
 
So you could say i got a list.
Prog is whatevey you want it to be. So dont diss other peoples prog, and they wont diss yours

Always the music as first priority, and sound quality - good packaging is a bonus. Smile

It's the music, stupid - to coin a phrase.
A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life.

If the music is good, I will buy it. I like cool artwork, but its about the music for me.

How about whatever the local church wants to burn at the time?

The fourth choice, I think. When a new album comes out by an artist I like, I prefer getting it on vinyl, especially if I like the artwork. But I have bought vinyls by artists I haven't even heard of just because of the artwork (or because I tend to assume that an album with great artwork usually has great music on it).

When you buy your vinyl records, what are your top priorities and how do you arrange them? I personally go by the music so if I know the music is good (own on CD, MP3, or heard songs on youtube) I buy the vinyl, but only if its artwork is good. I have a very large list of albums I need to buy (based on lone Youtube and progarchives tracks) so my top priorities are based on artwork and how good it looks on vinyl.
 
Example: Let's say I love The Hazards of Love and Operation just the same amount, but I think Operation's artwork is better. I will obviously buy Operation before I will buy The Hazards of Love.
Trendsetter win!
