^ I know what you mean.......Sometimes though I don't want those evolving lyrics, those that don't have mumbly, rambling, s-o-c vocal/lyric styles .
You should get a TT at your desk

You know, many of the more recent Hogarth-led Marillion albums frequently have this kind of (and I don't mean this as a criticism exactly) mumbly, rambling, stream-of-consciousness vocal/lyric style, so it actually makes me appreciate albums like `Somewhere Else' where things are a little more focused, direct, punchier, etc? Actually, you've inspired me, I'm going to play it at work right now! (This will be on my Ipod, I don't have a turntable at my desk....) Oh, but if I did.... |

Not a bad album really, but I cannot stand the way some of the songs have a one-line chorus they repeat four times in a row! Lazy and uninspired, I tells ya! |

^^ Sometimes I'll jump over to the main site and see what the reviewers have said about the album I'm listening to. It's interesting to see what others think. For the most part their ratings are close to mine but not always.
There are times when I'll see two stars when I would have gone at least four but the opposite happens just as often.

^ That seems like a good number........Working from home today so been spinning for a bit. Listening to this one right now, not their most acclaimed album but I do like the poppiness of the songs, should say not the most accepted here on PA

^^ That will put you up around the 600 LP range which means nothing would sit for years without being played.
I did go overboard a bit in the seventies and my collection is not really as manageable as I would like it to be. But I've been doing more listening in the last few months than I've done in years and I intend to continue that practice. I spend a lot of time in my music room doing various things and I've gotten in the habit of always having an album playing while I'm in here. That's why I post so often on what are you listening to now. The idea of selling my collection is all but gone now. My original concerns about my kids not selling them for what they're worth is no longer an issue.

I buy vinyl to listen to it, not to eventually get rid of it. So I too would have problems letting albums go.......As I said before that will be the job of someone else when I am worm food.
I reckon I am in the 350-400 range and that is pretty comfortable from a storage perspective....I suspect within the next 5 years I will add another 200 roughly, that's about 3 per month which is a decent avg. Point is I don't believe any of us are keen on dumping what we have. |

My US releases and import releases are separated. I also have a section for jazz rock fusion and a section with traditional jazz, traditional blues and classical combined.
Reorganizing is one of those ongoing music projects that I referred to yesterday.

thinking that i'll catalogue everything as I go

I have roughly 2200 albums, About 200 were accumulated from family members or friends.
I keep those on the bottom row at the end of my collection. Not long ago I made a master list of the fifteen hundred U.S. releases and five hundred import releases so I basically know what I have. If for some reason I decided to thin down my collection I might be able to come up with fifty to a hundred albums to get rid of. But even that would be difficult.

I don't know how many I have - 3 - 4 thousand ..
I know there's a lot of crap in there - I was given several small collections and I cant throw music away. Anything I actively sought out and bought is solid. Certain albums i got cheap and took a chance on didn't turn out to be stellar but i don't want to get rid of those either because once - about 27 years ago i weeded 200 albums out of my collection because i wasn't listening to them at that time - stupidest thing I've ever done. I have a lot of them back again but some were rare by virtue of age alone - and i'll never find them again. I don't know what i'll appreciate or be in the mood for a year from now.. I had Misplaced Childhood for years without putting it on once. When i finally did it turned out to be one of my favourite albums of all time. If i was forced to pare down the collection - I'd probably start sweating at around 2000

While my collection is more than three hundred I've had it for over forty years so I've had plenty of time to listen to everything I own.
If I had started collecting at the beginning of the current vinyl boom I would say that 500 would be a good solid collection. I would probably go a little higher simply because I'm retired and could dedicate more time to listening. |
