How Many Albums in Your Prog Collection?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Prog Archive standards of progressive are so lenient I wouldn't normally use their criteria.  Every album I own with exception to about 20 country/folk albums, and 50 or so various orchestral recordings.
I sell my albums if they're not rare or brilliant; so I may have had in my hands at one point or another around 3 thousand, because i will buy about 5 or 6 albums a week and sell most of them back.  I've kept a lot - so in my house I probably have about 500.  

In those 500 are my Anglagards, Bancos, Return to Forever, HoyryKone, Sloche albums - things either hard to find or are brilliant.  Proudly on the mantle is the original EP print of Anglagard - Hybris.

My point is...size doesn't count - especially if you have a bunch of Opeth / Porcupine Tree/ Devin Townsend nonsense cluttering your shelves....content does.

	Around 500 CDs out of which I'd say 75% are prog. Then there are the vinyls which I do not listen to anymore for years, most of the ones I love the most I have also on CD but I guess there must be another 100 or so which I do not have on CD.

	I've got about 6,000 and maybe about a thousand more that aren't prog. I have no Mariah Carey or Céline Dion. I do have about 25 Elvis albums though.
