Used CD pickups

Drive Like Jehu - s/t and Yank Crime
The Kinks - Low Budget (Velvel reissue)
Todd Rundgren - Hermit of Mink Hollow - the last of the 70s Todd/Utopia albums I hadn't heard yet.

Drive Like Jehu is hellagood

I put in an order for

THE GATEHRING---If_Then_Someone_Else
THE GATHERING--Mandylion (when they were gothic and slightly rough around the edges.

)

ELOY--Reincarnation On Stage (live!)-- This will be my first introduction to Eloy, so I am very much looking forward to this one. I know I'm starting in an odd place discography wise, but I looked at the Setlist and it seems to cover their 40 yr career quite well and what better way to hear a band live for the first time nonetheless. :)
It's a bold move but I've heard great things about guitarist/vocalist Frank Bornnerman.

GODSMACK--The Otherside ( wonderful album. Shows the softer and diversely acoustic sounds of the band. Sully Erna at his best. I recommend this album if people love the pure classical acoustic guitar sound. Lovely stuff. Purchase is way long overdue. Lol

Very good live and great setlist! A fine companion to this one is Pendragon's 'Out of order comes Chaos'.

(get Ocean asap)

Ocean and Planets seem to have an appeal to me through my Prog spidery sense. ;)
If I end of loving Reincarnation I will get both of those albums immediately.
Also. I very much enjoyed Pendragon's double live album "Out Of Order Comes Chaos" so I guess I am in for a real great listen with the Eloy album. I should get the Eloy album in about week. Once it arrives I will definitely let you know how I feel about it. I know your a big fan of Eloy, so I am sure you have a lot of great and interesting things to say about them. Look forward to it!!

Eider Stellaire I! ...though sadly not on vinyl. I'm working on it!

Filling in some holes in my Marillion collection. I already own Marbles, but only the one disc release. This version I bought is the 2-CD Deluxe Edition. Will be interested in hearing the pieces that weren't included on the one disc release.

I think those are all the ones I'm missing as well (except I got Marbles last year). Honestly don't have much interest in getting them, though.....

I go through this love/hate thing with Marillion. One month I think they're one of the most incredible prog bands working today whereas the next month I might think "What in world was I smoking last month?" Lol...

Anyway, generally, I'm a fan of the band from Fish era until now. I do think, however, they're quite an uneven band. Some favorite albums are Misplaced Childhood, Clutching At Straws, Seasons End, Brave, Afraid of Sunlight, and Marbles. But even the albums I dislike have some good songs on them but not enough to redeem my opinion of these albums of course.
