About 20 prog and 20 non prog vinyls. Genesis were the main cause to buy records. I still remember buying A Trick Of The Tail, the yellow masterpiece, and enjoying al that wonderful artwork. The sleeve, the inner sleeve, the way the lyrics were printed.

I got a cd player in 1986, so most of my albums are cd's.

(I was born in 1975, and in the first few years of my musical experience I aquired about 100 vinyl albums. Not many of them were prog, but there were some Pink Floyd among them. Unfortunately they were all destroyed by a water pipe leakage in the cellar ... . Since that day, I collect CDs only.)

I've got about 50 or so.  the problem with vinyl is that a turntable doesn't work very well in the car; the records keep jumping for some reason and the dashboard isn't big enough!  someone needs to invent a car-friendly turntable, then i would buy more vinyl!

Them laser players would probably work.  Expensive as hell, though.

There's a whole debate on this:

The advantage of CD is that it's really hard to scratch one, and the music loses sound quality far more gradually and less noticeably than vinyl.

The advantage of LP is that the sound is completely analogue, and therefore warmer and richer in dynamics - but your HiFi needs to be really good, and your ears desparately finicky (ie, you listen to loads of PROG, Jazz or Classical music) before you can really appreciate the difference.

Also, with vinyl, the sound quality is extremely variable, depending on the pressing - because of the manufacturing process. The earlier the pressing, the more faithful the sound is to the original master tapes - because of wear on Stampers and Mothers.

Personally, I love vinyl LPs - the big artwork and the rich sound, and hardly ever notice the static pops. I also try to collect first pressings... but that's an expensive game.

I have a First Pressing of D.S.O.T.M. and it's my preciousssss...

Now I know why people want first pressings.  I thought it was just a collector's item time thing, like a first edition book.  Your DSOTM must sound amazing.
