I've listened to 68 albums in PA's Top 100 so far. It's mostly the Italian albums and Frank Zappa I haven't listened to - at least not yet anyway. Smile

Eventually, I'll buy the Art Zoid and Caravan albums.  I own Caravan's "In The Land Of Grey And Pink" 

I just recently acquired that Caravan album (ITLOG&P). I had it a long time ago. I also bought their second not too long ago which you listed. Of their classic albums the only ones I don't have are the very first one, Cunning Stunts (yes I do count that one) and the new symphonia live album. Oddly enough I don't have most of the classic Gentle Giant albums although I used to. Unfortunately I sold a whole bunch a long time ago. I do currently have most of the classic prog albums including many that are not obvious to someone who is brand new to prog.

I can say that about 5 albums, and it's not something I regret, but in general I guess that I've moved more the other way - even I've always been happy to get albums with new artists, and from new countries.

I have to admit that I've been quite impressed by the greatest classics over the years, but I've also experienced not so few times that even I didn't particularly like some to begin with, after having listened to them a number of times over a period of some years, I could become very fond and never tired of them.
