Do you ever feel left out when the entire PA board is discussing an album you've never heard? I know I do! I even went so far as to buy Selling England By The Pound even though I don't like Genesis, just so I'd fit in better here. Sad, I know. Here are some of the well known and well regarded albums everyone talks about that I still don't own.

Yes - Fragile, The Yes Album
Genesis - Nursery Cryme
ELP - Brain Salad Surgery
VdGG - Still Life, Godbluff.
Gentle Giant - Acquiring the Taste, Free Hand
Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Anything RPI.

Feel free to share the most embarrassing gaps in your collection!

VdGG and Rush.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Myself:

I lack most of the early RIO/avant bands even though I've been largely into that area of prog lately. Including anything released by Henry Cow, or pre-2009 Magma.

Any non-Orme '70s RPI

Most Krautrock

You don't need any of that at all. That vile smut should stay out of anyone and everyone's collection.

I have gaps, but none that I am embarrassed about. And I don't believe half the posters here are embarrassed.

But....I didn't get Foxtrot till awfully late (had heard it though) eventually got it sometime in late eighties I think.

Besides Yes and Genesis, I don't have those albums you put in! Oh and I have Pink Floyd too, but I strongly agree with RPI! I want one in my collection! Cry

I got only 2 metal albums, which is Still Life by Opeth and some Dream Theater album (I didn't like the Dream Theater album), but i don't really feel that I have any gaps, since I am paying for a program that's called Spotify, so I hear alot of music from there.

Were you referring to Walter's crack about the other bands?
So Cardiacs are OK in your opinion?

I thought you were refering to Walter not mentioning Cardiacs. I may have gotten confused a bit though.LOL. 

But, yes, Cardiacs are great. Not to everyone's tastes of course. Are there sample here on PA?

Edit. Yes I see now. You mentioned them and Walter didn't comment on them. Yes as i said...they are pre 89Wink

What I only feel as an embarrasing gap is the lack of RPI in my collection. I'm from Marseille, it's at 4 hours of the Italian border and I only have "Collage" by Le Orme.
On the other hand, my jazz collection is really poor and I don't even have anything by Ange!

They are on youtube and I am listening to them  now - cannot place the style really, but quite heavy into weird time sigs and melodic to the max. Great singing and unusual drumming. The non stop singing on below track is intense. That instrumental is off the scale!
