I wonder when you gave up on your prog heroes (in terms of autobuy - rushing to buy albums on release)? You may have to be of a 'certain age'. Here is my list from the big six:
ELP - Works Vol. 1 Genesis - Duke Jethro Tull - A King Crimson - Beat Pink Floyd - The Wall Yes - Union |

For Van der Graaf Generator, it hasn't stopped.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I think the last album I autobought was Roll the Bones, the second disappointing album in succession by Rush.

The only band I will continue to automatically buy forever is Tull. Of course that may be because they're the only prog band that is still theoretically 'together'.

Not old enough to say that I bought all the classic albums on autobuy, since I started buying albums in autumn 74 ELP - Tarkus Genesis - And Then There Were Three Jethro Tull - Mistrel King Crimson - Discipline Pink Floyd - I suppose I never did, since I bought the cruddy Permanent Lapse of Reasons the day it was released. Ditto for TDB and tghe Wright tribute Yes - Tormato Rush - Moving pictures (though I never owned the debut and Caress)
The
only three band with more than one or two albums that I have everything ever
release is Out Of Focus (6 albums, but three posthumous) and Harmonium and Maneige GoGo Penguins is another one, but unless something changes drastically, their next will not be autobuy.
