I am a bit new to the prog-world. I have been searching for various CDs by prog artists and I have noticed most retailers are not prog friendly. The few prog CDs I find are usually overpriced ($25-$30 for albums that are only single disc.) I was wondering if internet orders are the best bet for finding prog albums. Do any large retailers carry varities of prog? |

I don't know where you live but if you live in Berkley, San Francisco, or Hollywood you can check out Amoeba Music, which is the best music store in existence. ------------- "O' lady look up in time o' lady look out of love 'n you should have us all O' you should have us fall" "Bill's Corpse" By Captain Beefheart |

Amazon has never let me down. If I cant find what I want at co.uk I can usually find it at .com. I very rarely go into record shops, unless they are independant, and stock loads of second hand vinyl. There's a good one near me, but apart from that they are few and far between. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

muh ha ha ha ha  my local record store is very prog friendly. we can get brand new prog albums, mostly any albums by any artist really cheap at £6.99. and for those who work in dollars, just trust me, its very very cheap compared to most prices. yet i still cant find a place in the UK that sells dream theater albums. well you find the odd one but normally the prices are outrageous. and whenever i order DT off the internet they never arrive! WHY IS THE WORLD DENYING ME OF ONE OF MY FAVOURITE BANDS??? and why dont they sell them in england even though they have a massive fan base over here?! ------------- The Worthless Recluse

Me too. Most Genesis go for 7.00$ Canadian. The wall was selling for 20, and the 2 van der Graaf Generator albums I just ordered were only 17.00$. JUSt to give you an idea. Record Runner is awesome! ------------- Collaborators will take your soul. |

I'm from Grimsby on the East coast in Lincolnshire. In the centre of town there is: an HMV (not very big) a Virgin (smaller still, and bloody expensive) a second-hand shop which isn't too bad, occaisionally I've picked up stuff I've wanted (VdGG for example) and an independent shop that opened recently that I haven't been in yet. But it specialises in hardcore haha so I doubt I'll find all that much I want. |

Nebraska is a horrible place to try and find prog.... I usually can find all the more well known bands around here like Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, Kansas, ELP but other than that I have to resort to Amazon. ------------- "I'm in a freefall like a snowflake falling down down down down down." |

Goodness! Wallace's friend, Yosh Schmenge, has just entered the room! What's that, Josh? You dont say! Cummon up here and address the gentleman,then. .... Good day! Yosh here! Frae Greenland proper be ye, mate? Ah gots a tale tae tell yer then: As memrey sarves, thar woz a dusky bloke , it wud 'av bin donkey's 'ears ago (mebbe '66) turns up -'ear flaps an' all - at t' bong cunsession at t' awld Roundhouse, Camden. (Now dis were a-whiles befare Arfur e'er show'd oop on stage wiv his flamin' helmet,face paint an' Tom Cobbly an' all.) Onyhonks, dis 'ere bloke 'an yers trooley, gits a chinwag goin' 'an, feck me if ah tells a porker - him says he cum doon Blighty way alla way frae bleedin' Greenland! Now tha's noo summat ye 'appens upon evray day, so meesell bein' varra innurest'd, gives an ear'ole tae all t' dharlin' chappie 'av tae say. Well, tae cut tae t'quick, suffice tae say, soons this here varmint begins huffin' how t'bleedin' design o' Roundhouse cum doon tae t' awld Eskimo art o' iggleroo buildin'. Cor blimey an' flippin' Nora! Now youse can imagine a proper oopstandin' Englishmon's umbrage at 'avin' dis fereigner take credit fer t' constructerin' o' t'Roundhouse. (Ah bloody weel next expict'd t'Greenlander tae be claimin' to ha' inventert'd baith twa o' t'Roundhouse's functioonin' terlets, by Gawd ah did!) Ah wert aybit tae start inter a conflagratioon wiv t'fella, when who strolls by - in Araby garb, nonetheless - but Paul McCartney hissensell! An' then ah clampers me eyen onna luverly Ayetalian actress, Monica Vitti!(Ye kens, her wiv dem fantoosh square eyen tha' sets men droolin' at farty paces.) Feck me! Ah was sae stamyghaster'd by sicht o' her beauty, ah luks fer t' nearest gents an' explains guid naturedly -gennulmon tha' ah am - tae t'Greenlander bloke tha' t' vision o' Monica have me oop fer a brae , rub oop t' python.

Ah wert aybit tae kiss me unspoilt nethers goodbye, whan -praise t'Lord on high - t' fella says, as fine as ye please: "Sir, ye dropped your pince-nez out there. Would not want to lose that, what? " Ah sighs a sigh o' major relief. Guid chaps, dem Greenlanders. Ah wouldna expecter'd an Englishmon tae be so conseedert. Faith, ah would not. ....
