I wonder when you gave up on your prog heroes (in terms of autobuy - rushing to buy albums on release)? You may have to be of a 'certain age'. Here is my list from the big six: ELP - Works Vol. 1 Genesis - Duke Jethro Tull - A King Crimson - Beat Pink Floyd - The Wall Yes - Union |

For Van der Graaf Generator, it hasn't stopped. ------------- 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. |

Probably in the late 70's....haven't 'auto bought' anything since then....always tried to catch a listen first. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

The only band I will continue to automatically buy forever is Tull. Of course that may be because they're the only prog band that is still theoretically 'together'. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

Not old enough to say that I bought all the classic albums on autobuy, since I started buying albums in autumn 74 ELP - Tarkus Genesis - And Then There Were Three Jethro Tull - Mistrel King Crimson - Discipline Pink Floyd - I suppose I never did, since I bought the cruddy Permanent Lapse of Reasons the day it was released. Ditto for TDB and tghe Wright tribute Yes - Tormato Rush - Moving pictures (though I never owned the debut and Caress)
The
only three band with more than one or two albums that I have everything ever
release is Out Of Focus (6 albums, but three posthumous) and Harmonium and Maneige GoGo Penguins is another one, but unless something changes drastically, their next will not be autobuy.
15 years ago, you would've gone on a rampage after reading this  ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

*Dream Theater with DT12, I highly doubt I buy anything else from them unless Portnoy returns. *Haken with Vector, return back to The Mountain form and I'm all over it. *ELP with Works Vol I.....no mas! *Nektar with Magic Is A Child....should have returned it.  -------------
