The #1 1969-2012 list inspired me to do this. Luckily I have all my albums in a Word document, so I was able to search on each year to get my count. 1959 - 2 1963 - 2 1964 - 2 1965 - 4 1966 - 5 1967 - 5 1968 - 9 1969 - 18 1970 - 23 1971 - 15 1972 - 27 1973 - 26 1974 - 19 1975 - 26 1976 - 22 1977 - 19 1978 - 22 1979 - 12 1980 - 16 1981 - 11 1982 - 14 1983 - 16 1984 - 16 1985 - 12 1986 - 15 1987 - 14 1988 - 16 1989 - 21 1990 - 21 1991 - 23 1992 - 23 1993 - 16 1994 - 20 1995 - 29 1996 - 14 1997 - 22 1998 - 16 1999 - 26 2000 - 24 2001 - 21 2002 - 21 2003 - 21 2004 - 15 2005 - 26 2006 - 18 2007 - 22 2008 - 30 2009 - 39 2010 - 47 2011 - 73 2012 - 79 2013 - 7 total- 1017 It's fairly obvious that I discovered Prog Archives in 2011!

Man this means counting my albums again for the first time in years.... Last time I checked, I had some 3500+ and that's at least two years ago. I do have a lot of music from around 1967 to 1974 though.

 To be fair, it's the only thing I've ever collected, and I started when I was 8 or something.

Unless there is some database out there for me to automatically check against then this looks like way too much effort. I can say I have stuff going back to the 40's, it picks up significantly from 69 through 79 then drops off until the mid 90's when it picks up again through today. ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |

Main buying period between 1972 - 1980 ( vinyl ) Occasional purchases during 80s
Kinda hiatus in the 90s and early 00's
Since around 2008 have rediscovered passion for music ( and particularly prog )
In last two years have purchased c 100 CDs ...which is by far the most music I have ever got.
Thanks to sites like this and being able to find and order on-line.

No idea I'm afraid. Just threw some in a bag to throw away. Mostly recent 2000s albums. Most popular of my albums are from 1972 till 1982 i reckon. So Prog through to post -punk on the whole. ------------- Help me I'm falling! |

Impossible to tell, or even guess. I stopped cataloguing my album collection in 1995 and only a few of them were ever dated. I tried analysing the small part of my collection that is in my iTunes database but the date tags are pretty screwed with re-issues and compilations being wrongly dated by Gracenote and I don't organise or tag albums by genre - SuperAnalyzer reported that only 37% of my albums had complete tag information, which isn't really good enough for a proper analysis. So the following graph is a complete crock because the 1000 songs released in 2005 is obviously incorrect,which does not bode well for any of the other numbers:

Would have been to hard to work out but as I have them catalogued it was easy enough. Not surprising the early 70's come highest. 1957 = 1 1959 = 4 1963 = 2 1964 = 4 1965 = 9 1966 = 8 1967 = 12 1968 = 24 1969 = 45 1970 = 54 1971 = 66 1972 = 89 1973 = 98 1974 = 79 1975 = 78 1976 = 91 1977 = 80 1978 = 85 1979 = 91 1980 = 91 1981 = 67 1982 = 69 1983 = 54 1984 = 43 1985 = 51 1986 = 60 1987 = 53 1988 = 48 1989 = 61 1990 = 54 1991 = 67 1992 = 60 1993 = 66 1994 = 64 1995 = 71 1996 = 67 1997 = 64 1998 = 61 1999 = 62 2000 = 75 2001 = 49 2002 = 65 2003 = 65 2004 = 61 2005 = 48 2006 = 73 2007 = 79 2008 = 67 2009 = 57 2010 = 51 2011 = 63 2012 = 62 2013 = 4 |

I have thousands of CDs and LPs and can't even guess as to how they divide out by year, but just looking at my iTunes library, with about 41K songs in it (much of it from the aforementioned CDs and LPs), I see that Weidorje's self titled album is classified as being released in 2012, which makes me think a tally using iTunes wouldn't be too reliable anyway. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

I've been cataloging in Excel since 1999. I've been numbering them at 100 a pop since I began getting CDs. I regret not having acquisition dates on the first 500. I use recorded date rather than release date whenever possible. 2013 - 1 2012 - 7 2011 - 14 2010 - 17 2009 - 19 2008 - 23 2007 - 29 2006 - 26 2005 - 24 2004 - 29 2003 - 40 2002 - 36 2001 - 39 2000 - 31 1999 - 44 1998 - 29 1997 - 40 1996 - 36 1995 - 42 1994 - 45 1993 - 42 1992 - 33 1991 - 36 1990 - 30 1989 - 36 1988 - 30 1987 - 32 1986 - 31 1985 - 24 1984 - 35 1983 - 26 1982 - 27 1981 - 30 1980 - 39 1979 - 44 1978 - 47 1977 - 48 1976 - 53 1975 - 50 1974 - 52 1973 - 39 1972 - 31 1971 - 23 1970 - 30 1969 - 21 1968 - 15 1967 - 12 1966 - 2 1965 - 3 1963 - 1 1962 - 1 1961 - 1 1960 - 1 1959- 1 1958 - 2 1957 - 1 1955 - 1 1953 - 1 1949 - 1 1937 - 2 1920 - 1 1910 - 1 1905 - 1 1903 -1 1893 - 1 1874 - 1 1791 -1 ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I started cataloging my albums in the early 90's so this exercise was easy. 1964 - 1 * 1965 - 2 * 1966 - 2 * 1967 - 16 ******** 1968 - 16 ******** 1969 - 24 ************ 1970 - 29 ************** 1971 - 26 ************* 1972 - 40 ******************** 1973 - 40 ******************** 1974 - 57 **************************** 1975 - 50 ************************* 1976 - 40 ******************** 1977 - 42 ********************* 1978 - 35 ***************** 1979 - 26 ************* 1980 - 36 ***************** 1981 - 26 ************* 1982 - 16 ******** 1983 - 25 ************ 1984 - 30 *************** 1985 - 26 ************* 1986 - 14 ******* 1987 - 21 ********** 1988 - 23 *********** 1989 - 17 ******** 1990 - 20 ********** 1991 - 26 ************* 1992 - 32 **************** 1993 - 30 *************** 1994 - 24 ************ 1995 - 24 ************ 1996 - 21 ********** 1997 - 16 ******** 1998 - 21 ********** 1999 - 22 *********** 2000 - 15 ******* 2001 - 15 ******* 2002 - 8 **** 2003 - 14 ******* 2004 - 11 ***** 2005 - 8 **** 2006 - 8 **** 2007 - 0 2008 - 4 ** 2009 - 0 2010 - 1 * 2011 - 3 * 2012 - 0 ======== Total albums - 1001 I built my album collection up in 3 distinct ways. 1st from hearing stuff on the radio and buying the album or being intrigued by the album cover art or recommendations from other people. 2nd I had this friend who was also heavy into prog and also had a large collection. We started getting together once every couple of weeks where he'd bring me 3 or 4 things from his collection and I'd bring him some things from mine. He turned me onto Hawkwind, Marillion, Kate Bush, & Greenslade and the best of the neo prog bands like IQ & Twelfth Night. 3rd in the 1990's I ran across this project on USENET (the text-based precursor to the internet) called "The Gibralter Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock". They were putting together the A-Z of every prog band out there and everyone was encouraged to help contribute band/album reviews. It was eventually a massive text document that I printed out and brought with me to record stores. I discovered Ange, Pulsar, Anekdoten, Devil Doll, Thinking Plague, Henry Cow, Terraced Garden... ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

I started cataloguing my collection on RateYourMusic two years ago and have kept it up to date since, so luckily this shan't be overly hard. I seem to recall once seeing a way to generate a graph of this on that site but can't recall how to do so, so this is from me doing it in google docs.  Top Year per decade 1957 - 1 1969 - 15 1973 - 28 1989/1989 - 19 1995 - 36 2007 - 51 2010 - 97

| I once did a year list for my LP collection (numbering around 1600) but I dunno what happened to it. I usually put all my scribblings away somewhere to refer back to but I haven't this time. What I do know is that my earliest year is around 1966 up to 2012. I poached an LP from my folks called 'Big 16 Guitar Favourites' by (at the time) innovative guitarist Vinnie Bell. Just a bunch of jazz/pop standards done in an early, experimental fashion. It might date from 1965......? |

| My family is like a music commune. If you count all of the albums my family owns, plus the records my dad's department owns (he's a jazz studies professor), there should be 10,000, at the very least, some of them dating back to the earliest days of recording. Because of this, I actually haven't bought a ton of albums. I just mooch off theirs. At most, I've bought about 50, the earliest being early/mid-60s, latest being 2012 or 2013. Also, I am a bit cheap. |

Hi, More than half of my record collection came before 1979. Probably two thirds. It accounts for my being able to speak about them so much. The least and leanest years were the 90's when I was broke and could not afford a whole lot! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

This only took me a listen of Permanent Waves to complete though (yes that's how I measure time  ).This list includes all albums, eps, and compilations, prog and otherwise. No singles though. 1968 - 1 - * 1969 - 5 - ***** 1970 - 5 - ***** 1971 - 8 - ******** 1972 - 6 - ****** 1973 - 7 - ******* 1974 - 5 - ***** 1975 - 4 - **** 1976 - 3 - *** 1977 - 4 - **** 1978 - 3 - *** 1979 - 2 - ** 1980 - 3 - *** 1981 - 3 - *** 1982 - 4 - **** 1983 - 5 - ***** 1984 - 5 - ***** 1985 - 3 - *** 1986 - 4 - **** 1987 - 3 - *** 1988 - 4 - **** 1989 - 3 - *** 1990 - 2 - ** 1991 - 2 - ** 1992 - 2 - ** 1993 - 2 - ** 1994 - 1 - * 1995 - 4 - **** 1996 - 2 - ** 1997 - 2 - ** 1998 - 3 - *** 1999 - 4 - **** 2000 - 3 - *** 2001 - 1 - * 2002 - 5 - ***** 2003 - 6 - ****** 2004 - 4 - **** 2005 - 5 - ***** 2006 - 6 - ****** 2007 - 6 - ****** 2008 - 9 - ********* 2009 - 9 - ********* 2010 - 3 - *** 2011 - 9 - ********* 2012 - 6 - ****** 2013 - 2 - ** |

Most assuredly one of the 70's, probably 1971. |

Not completely accurate, I know there are some 70's albums from big bands I didn't like that I havent counted and probably others. Close enough though. 2013- 1 2012- 14 2011- 54 2010- 34 2009- 56 2008- 46 2007- 53 2006- 61 2005- 26 2004- 43 2003- 29 2002- 26 2001- 27 2000- 17 1999- 21 1998- 13 1997- 16 1996- 18 1995- 19 1994- 9 1993- 11 1992- 8 1991- 7 1990- 4 1989- 9 1988- 3 1987- 3 1986- 3 1985- 5 1984- 5 1983- 4 1982- 3 1981- 2 1980- 3 1979- 5 1978- 5 1977- 6 1976- 12 1975- 13 1974- 17 1973- 21 1972- 21 1971- 16 1970- 13 1969- 7 1968- 1 1959- 1 ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005  |

This would be a lot easier if metatags were based on original release and not CD pressing or remaster date.
