I was looking over my 300 plus collection and I was thinking to myself I`m starting to get some pretty ordinary CD`s in there, maybe its time to go down to the second hand dealer and purge some, the ones I don`t like very much, they are just taking up room and cluttering up things, maybe I could even put some on E bay I mean just because I don`t get into to it, doesn`t mean its no good

| According to my rateyourmusic page, the average rating of my album collection (CD and MP3) is 3.99 stars. So I guess I'm mostly happy with it. It can always be better though. |

100% because almost all of the albums I have are prog and good albums, the rest is MP3.

I get what you're saying, but I rated the CDs based on how much I like them, not by greatness or whatever. |

Of course we always want more cds - there is no such thing as a complete collection. The question is rather whether you think that your collection is really matching your taste. That's not always so, because your taste is constantly changing over the years. I solved this problem by selling the cds which I don't like anymore. I've already sold more than 150 cds in the last few years, and bought more than 300. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/aotm-2025-1/vote" rel="nofollow - 2025 Monthly Release Poll Listened to:

At the risk of sound pretentious
Mine is almost up to 100% percent satisfactory I get rid of albums I do not like and I make my own compilation out of three (or six) albums , so I am not subjected to bad and average tracks from non-essential artistes ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Well, there are some CDs from years and years ago which no longer pique my interest, and those I have stored away. I'd say I've only bought one or two CDs in the past couple of years that I either didn't like or don't like anymore. I usually research my purchases very well before I buy, and even if it doesn't click right away, time will fix those issues. Obviously there are plenty of albums I'd like to add to my collection, but what I have right now is doing me quite well. ------------- www.last.fm/user/ThisCenotaph

We weed out our collection from time to time. There are a few rarities
we would like to have (not necessarily the first edition; a simple
re-issue would do. We collect albums for the music and not for their
rarity). Otherwise I am very happy with our collection. Of course there
could always be more ... (... "and more and more and more and more";
Krautrock fans will certainly recognise what track I am referring to).

| I am a completist so there are some bad albums I will always own simply because I like the majority of the artist's work. In that respect, my collection is a 75%. |

Iv gone with the 75% option but to be honest Im not finished yet, I never will be, the only day I will be finished is the day I die, and even then the ones that are 'odd msitakes' are what I like to call growers and I quite enjoy them now! ------------- Prog is music for the mind Hear your Orphaned child!

I like most of my CD's, probably around 99% or more, because I only upgraded to CD those that I liked, except a couple of gifts (Invissible Touch and Love Beach), plus OVO that I bought it only because Peter Gabriel's name, I believe i'm happy with all the rest. Now LP's is a different sttuff, maybe 90%.. But the day I'm happy with my collection I will kill myself, because hat will mean I'm not interested in searching for more, there will always be a CD missing (Probably a couple hundreed if not more) to be happy with my collection, when I get that couple hundreed I wil discover that there are another couple hundreed missing.

| I'm pretty happy with my collection, but I always have a list of "ones to buy". My only problem is finding the space to store them all. Not only do I need more physical storage space, I need a bigger PC to store my MP3s now. |

I usually make good choices. But venturing into Prog-Metal, Krautrock and Canterbury is dangerous for a Neo/Symphonic fan such as me which results in the odd mis-purchase (Future Days). ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |
