There's room for expanding, but it's a very good start

check out the reviews of the bands and albums you know, that's the best way to search for new bands (find out which reviewer approaches your taste the best), and check out the recommended bands and albums on there.

Welcome aboard, another young impressionable mind we can mould and set free to be a true progger (remember Dream theater are not prog, stay away from progressive metal, focus entirely on 70's prog, and you'll be a valluable member)

 

Welcome again, Barbarian, hope you'll find a reason to stay

Cheers for a bit of feedback, must say I do find myself alot more drawn to the 70s stuff, seems so much more daring and expansive.

But yeah thanks will follow your advice!

I agree with Tuxon. It's a good start.

A pretty good collection there! And you'll have no problem finding new albums to buy, since you have pretty few albums of bands like genesis, camel, jethro tull, marillion and king crimson. If you're looking for new bands, based on your collection, I would recommend Van Der Graaf Generator and Gentle Giant.

Don't be afraid to check out some more recent bands like The Flower Kings or Spock's Beard for example! A lot of good prog has been made in the last 15 years too!

Welcome to progarchives!
Currently listening to:
- Andromeda
- Pagan's Mind
- Kamelot

An allright start, you seem to have a thing for mainstream "indy" rock, Id suggest checking out a band called the dears, they deserve more attention then they are currently getting.

Get some KING CRIMSON for God's sake!!!
I know albums are pretty expensive, but Internet is over there to serve you! Just a little search will bring you to a whole new discography
That's how I got my entire Procol Harum Collection (all classic albums except Home, Broken Barricades and Live w t Edmonton S O. And I know where to find them, too, just haven't had the chance to download!)

Where on earth are you dwelling, btw? You might have a chance to collect great deal of Russian MP3 CD's for more than reasonable prices! I don't want to reveal my collection here, suffice to say I've got almost entire cataloges of some 100 bands!!!

Nice collection for a start, though!
Keep on proggin'

Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)

Welcome, Barbarian.

Many of your titles listed aren't prog, so your collection is pretty small. But the good news - you are among friends and will certainly get great advice!

www.half.com is  a great place to stock up cheaply on mainstream prog titles like Yes, Genesis and ELP.

Good luck!

Some more Gentle Giant and VdGG won't hurt. It will hurt your friends maybe, but not you.

Have you considered Caravan? Some more Camel, and a touch of Anekdoten, some extra ELP (the eponymous debut!) would be nice.

I think...

Try CREAM's live and BBC radio recordings instead of their studio works. Much more power and improvisations!

To much of that New rock revolution & Blur & Radiohead crap. But don't listen to me... You need more Iron MAiden & Dream Theater to be whole.... And maybe some Shadow Gallery, Evergrey, Tool etc etc
