Probably around 50 or so prog vinyl & a couple of hundred prog CDs - all in all though, 3/400 vinyl albums & about 6/700 CDs - eclecticism is great when it comes to music, but why is it that at times I look through the collection and hate them all, thinking "I want to listen to music, but none of this!" -------------

I can totally empathise - I have about 1000 albums on vinyl and another 700-800 cds yet most of the time when I want to load up the car cd changer I really struggle to find anything I want to listen to at that moment in time. I guess it's just the ephemeral nature of 'pop' music. You just always want the thrill of the new. Seriously considering a 60gb i-pod and an in-car attachment so I can just hit shuffle and have my onw personal 15,000-song radio station of the good stuff. And it would remove that awful - do I want The Idiot, Idiot Wind, Wind and Wuthering, Wuthering Heights.... etc etc etc |

All very well Arcer, but you'll then spend every journey hitting 'skip' and muttering darkly "why does it play The Idiot, Idiot Wind, Wind and Wuthering, Wuthering Heights.... etc etc etc - all the time?".
Ephemeral nature of musical taste, or just sheer aged bloody mindedness? "I know what I want, I want it now, and it's none of this bloody rubbish  "

Unfortunately, I don't have the power, influence, money or scientific knowhow to transport Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart back in time to 1981 to record 'Moving Pictures Vols 2-20' at six-month intervals using the same gear so an i-pod, loads of good music and the element of surprise will have to do I'm afraid.... |

| I have the entire Rush discography save for new stuff and the first three records on vinyl, none of which I can find at used record shops. I have ELP Tarkus and BSS on vinyl. Also Moody Blues, Yes's CTTE, DSOTM, and the Wall on vinyl. I have a bunch more other-genre music though. I am currently on the hunt for a first pressing Moving Pictures. |

In the 70s, I had quite a few. Then I joined the Navy in 1980 and pay some debts off I sold most of them after copying them to cass. You can't play albums on ship. In my last year after buying about 3 grand in stereo equipment in Japan, I started up again. But with the high tech equipment, I noticed how lousy conventional LPs were sounding. Ticks and pops even on brand new ones. Then I discovered Nautilus and Mobile Fidelity and fell in love with their audiophile LPs. First up, Parsons I Robot. I was knocked out, incredible. No comparison to the coventional LP I bought just a month earlier.
So I just bought about as many of these as I could (about 200) while eventually moving to cds at the same time. Not all of them are prog but I got some doozies, DSOTM, Yes's CTTE, Aqualung among others and The Beatles and Rolling Stones box sets. Also bought some duplicates that are still sealed to this day. |

Well I didn't sell ALL of them. I still have my Yes Topographic Oceans and Relayer with the picture labels on them. Grand Funk's American Band with the gold vinyl Lynyrd Skynyrd's Street Survivors with the original flaming cover. I wasn't that stupid. |

About 20 prog and 20 non prog vinyls. Genesis were the main cause to buy records. I still remember buying A Trick Of The Tail, the yellow masterpiece, and enjoying al that wonderful artwork. The sleeve, the inner sleeve, the way the lyrics were printed. I got a cd player in 1986, so most of my albums are cd's. |

0. (I was born in 1975, and in the first few years of my musical experience I aquired about 100 vinyl albums. Not many of them were prog, but there were some Pink Floyd among them. Unfortunately they were all destroyed by a water pipe leakage in the cellar ... ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

I've got about 50 or so. the problem with vinyl is that a turntable doesn't work very well in the car; the records keep jumping for some reason and the dashboard isn't big enough! someone needs to invent a car-friendly turntable, then i would buy more vinyl! ------------- "...misty halos made visible by the spectral illumination of moonshine." |

There's a whole debate on this: The advantage of CD is that it's really hard to scratch one, and the music loses sound quality far more gradually and less noticeably than vinyl. The advantage of LP is that the sound is completely analogue, and therefore warmer and richer in dynamics - but your HiFi needs to be really good, and your ears desparately finicky (ie, you listen to loads of PROG, Jazz or Classical music) before you can really appreciate the difference. Also, with vinyl, the sound quality is extremely variable, depending on the pressing - because of the manufacturing process. The earlier the pressing, the more faithful the sound is to the original master tapes - because of wear on Stampers and Mothers. Personally, I love vinyl LPs - the big artwork and the rich sound, and hardly ever notice the static pops. I also try to collect first pressings... but that's an expensive game. I have a First Pressing of D.S.O.T.M. and it's my preciousssss... |

About 40-45 of my 60 Vinyls are prog. And about 200 of my 249 CD's are prog. ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |

Now I know why people want first pressings. I thought it was just a collector's item time thing, like a first edition book. Your DSOTM must sound amazing. |
