No, seriously idk. I have a ton of Wishbone Ash, a ton of Beatles. Every T Rex album, every Steely Dan album. All the classic Kiss albums. So I guess like mostly classic stuff. Oh a bunch of Queen albums I see.
Great to hear you love also classic rock like Beatles & T Rex. I have always thought you´re only prog listening person (I think here are many of them). You may already know I love all music that I think great, mainstream or indie, don´t care. And got most of the classic rock albums in my collection (really should buy some T Rex -album).


Oh yeah, you seem to be an open minded kind of music lover like me. And yes I love both T Rex  and obviously The Beatles. As far as T Rex, their(his) most popular albums are certainly Electric Warrior and The Slider. And, for me, those 2 plus Tanx make up their 'Big 3' of truly great albums. A Beard of Stars and the self-titled album are very good as well. Really the only album of theirs that I don't like is Bolan's Zip Gun. Imo their most 'can't miss' album is The Slider. Hope that helps.

This thread was really just a ruse to flush out those members not qualified to post on prog. Unfortunately as your percentage of prog is below the required 50% minimum you must immediately leave the site until you have purchased the 1200 albums needed to bring up your average. 
 
Thank you for your cooperation.
 
Though I think we can allow double points for each album in the RIO/Avant-Prog sub-genre.
 
 
 
As far as I'm aware, I don't have any albums in the RIO/Avant-Prog sub-genre, so that rules me out for double points. Smile

no ideer anymore.  I have very little vinyl left, a lot of CDs, and a lot of MP3's, but no central repository for everything, just itunes which is where my favorites are clustered.  I also listen to a ton of prog on spotify which I pay for

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Pretty good, that's about the number of prog albums I had when I joined this site.
I buy most of my CD albums from charity shops, car boot sales & pound stores, but not surprisingly, I don't find many classic prog albums at those kind of bargain basement prices. Smile

No idea and not about to start counting, but I'd say that Rock (in the larger sense), folk (in its rockier form) and jazz (in the larger sense) amount to 95%...
The rest being Chanson Française (Brel Lavilliers, Nougaro, etc... >> generally anthologies) or classical
