The development of prog

Aztech wrote:   Danbo I understand your brothers anal attitude in part because if you have over 100 CDs (I have about 300 CDs.)you sometimes fall in the same patern and listen to certain CDs too often, sometimes forgeting about other CDs, that once you actually listen, say to yourself: Oh yeah that was pretty good why did I not listen to that sooner ; hence the alphabetized system where you systematically listen to all in rotation so as not to neglect any forgotten "pearls". but messing up the rotation a bit is obviously ok and recommended in moderation to suit your mood.I wish I could follow my own advice but I always go by my mood.

I've got over 500, maybe 700? who knows or has the patience to count. I'm a mood guy. Sometimes I'll just listen to Blues for weeks on end, then it's jazz or alternative. Very little country music does NOT make me ppuke and I have no tolerance for rap. Probably my upbringing, I don't know.

I own a lot of CD's that I just don't want to hear (and they're no pearls!)

Sometimes I just close my eyes and grab one, refusing to look at it until I get in my truck.

I have a very "Anal" brother who listens to his stuff A-Z. Really, he starts from one end of his collection and works through to the opposite end. He'd get p.o.'ed if you distrubed his "ROTATION." Scary...

Vibrationbaby:

I empathize: between CDs, LPs and cassettes (both rock and jazz), I also have about 1,700-2,000 albums, acquired over some 35 years or so.  I was able to amass these because the only three things I spent my money on from 1970 to 1982 (or thereabouts) were albums, concert tix and drugs!   (OK, maybe I bought some food sometimes...)  My collection actually scares me sometimes: so many choices that I often find myself absolutely paralyzed when I want to listen to something!  

Peace.

Hey no problem. You asked, I answered. You did look a little light in 60s though!

I think you're right by mentioning those bands (I love Iron Butterfly and Uriah Heep), but I can't put all of that in my paper (I could fill 20 pages with Yes, Genesis, ELP, VdGG and Gentle Giant only ). Thanks for your help!

Sorry Joren, I posted this one as a joke. I hope he gets the message.

2,000? Good Gracious Man, when do you get laid?

 I've got about 500-700 and my old lady thinks I'm obsessed.

I got about 33 or so Allan Holdsworth related discs, all the Rush, Floyd, Beatles, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.

2,000? Holy Sheep, Batman.

So, Vibration you must own this stuff:

Yeah that's me. I have over 2,000 albums I accumulated mostly during th 1970's and 1980's. Not only prog albums but a lot of jazz as well. I never bought an album because it was a "collectors" item It was always for the music, although I do have a few which are worth something. The thing that really bothers me about these guys who collect records just for the sake of it is that they drive up the prices of records that people like myself want just for the music.

I've got two Brainbox albums but Akkerman is only on one of them. I also have the CD release of the Akkerman Brainbox album which has bonus tracks. I only have one recording of him with The Hunters which is on a compilation album from the Early 80's called the Essental Jan Akkerman and the track is a killer "The Russian Spy And I". He also played in a band called Johnny and the Cellar Rockers but I've never come across any of these. This was pre-Hunters. Glad to see someone out there who is interested in this frequently overlooked guitar god. There is a lot more to Akkerman than "Hocus Pocus"!
