Of all the 'bigger' bands discussed on this site- which of them do you not own a single album? For me its these artists:
VDGG
King Crimson
ELP
 could very well be a shocking thread. Do you have the guts to post?  ------------- |

I don't have anything from ELP but I live it well. However I regret to have big progressive pop in my collection as Genesis, Kansas, Alan Parson and a few others...one reason: all these bands are too mainstream and FM for my ears. -------------

ELP - I don't know... They just don't seem attractive to me. Also, I just started to explore the realm of Italian prog.

Off hand, I can't think of many 'big' artists I don't own albums by. The one genre that doesn't appeal to me at least based on what I've heard is 'RIO', but Zappa and Beefheart are classed under this genre and I love their work. I don't have anything from the 'indo prog' and 'Zeuhl' sections, for no real reason other than I've not heard them. I do own a Quintessence compilation though....Also, I guess my 'prog metal' section is somewhat under-represented. I actually don't mind that genre as long as the metal doesn't usurp the prog- for example, I disliked Symphony X's 'the Odyssey' but loved 'The Divine Wings Of Tragedy'.

The prog-metal I don't own (primarily Opeth and Pain of Salvation) is a matter of priorities: there are other prog albums I devote my meager discretionary funds to.
Re the early Italian prog I don't own (primarily Le Orme), it is a matter of not being able to find the albums.

The Beatles - prog or not, can't stand them! Neo prog like IQ, Arena, Pendragon. Considered getting Dark Matter and The Seventh House at one point, but wasn't sure if it was worth it. Kansas - never checked 'em out really. Queen - actually had most of their albums at one point, they were my favourite band too. Don't have any now.

Can't stand The Beatles, huh. Are you seeing somebody about that?
Seriously though, statements like this have always made me confused. I can see them not being a favorite, but such negative attitudes amaze me. So, on to the topic. There are some I don't own because they are hard to find, and others because I am not familiar with them yet. I will focus on the ones I don't want to own. All Prog Metal - at least until I hear some I like. Hogarth Marillion - for obvious reasons. Kansas - Good band, just not that interested in them. Saga - There is some fun stuff there, but not enough to spend money on. Anthony Phillips - a bit dull to me. Pendragon - what I've heard doesn't impress me too much The Mars Volta - No appeal for me Those are the ones I could think of. There may be others. ------------- a.k.a.

I don't own any albums by Frank Zappa(shame!) or Supertramp, even though I really like them both, I also don't own any albums by Camel, Gentle Giant or Van der Graff Generator, which is sad, because I seem to hover in the Symphonic/Art Rock area, listening mostly to bands like Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, ELP, Rush, Supertramp, Kansas, and my Psychedelic band is Pink Floyd, and my Folk band is Jethro Tull. I also don't own any Krautrock albums, but I want to, especially by Faust and Kraftwerk. Don't own any Experimental albums either, although I liked what I heard of Flying Saucer Attack and Atomic Rooster. Don't own any Dream Theater albums either. There's a lot of stuff I don't have.

The recent(ish) decca/deram remasters are very reasonably priced in the UK (£6/7 usually) and are superb releases with great notes and bonus tracks to boot! Try and see if German amazon has them. I'd be surprised if they didn't.
And Focus are superb. No prog collection should be without Hamburger Concerto - FACT.

Rare Bird
Though I've been a progressive rock fan more than 30 years, I haven't owned this group at all.

That's fair. Being such a huge fan, it's hard for me to imagine anyone not liking them to some degree. I guess it was the "can't stand" that struck me as a bit negative. Now, I have actually heard people say that they suck. That's the kind of thing that I find just insane. Oh well.  ------------- a.k.a.

Rush aren't real prog... VdGG, King Crimson and Gnidrolog are however! -------------

That's because they "progressed" to other things and again and again. They're more prog than VDGG.
