Or what?
Actually, these are just the prog CDs I bought. It doesn't include a
fair number of non-prog CDs and the 50-60 that I downloaded. There
would be even more than this if it wasn't for the grief I get from HQ
every time I come home with more CDs.

A lot of post rock, a lot of Porcupine Tree, and as many SIGUR ROS albums as possible. Some Mogwai, etc... a couple albums from Astor Piazolla, I don't know, just lots of it. I'm kind of broke because of music.

Many good albums, but do you enjoy the pendragon one ? I really don't like this band. Their sounds is very bad I think, too "neo" for me. Some poppy elements, and the mixe of pop and prog is even worse than prog many times. Very "cheesy" (I don't like this words but I cannot find the right word in english).

At last, someone has noticed that I asked for comments on my list! I do
like Pendragon but I can understand why you say they are "cheesy". They
are not too everyone's taste, as are Nick Barrett's vocals. All I can
say is listen to the track "No place for the innocent" which is on the
Pendragon page here. This is from Believe which came out this year and
is a bit different to some of their previous stuff.
