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! -------------

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

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! |

hell I'm still not sure how to spell Zeuhl .. seriously though, we all know sometimes in Prog if your first impression of an artist is not so good, there isn't always time or money to keep trying their albums, sometimes you have to just move on - - let's see, I've only owned one album each of; Focus Hamburger Concerto (mmoookay) Can Tago Mago (I just don't know) Magma Udu Wudu (yeah, not sure what happened there) Dream Theater Awake (never got another, but I'd like to) Porcupine Tree Deadwing (don't ask) Kayo Dot Dowsing Anemone with Copper Tongue (wow, gives the word "interesting" a whole new meaning) |

| I do not have various albums that get discussed, but I'm not embarrassed by that. In most cases I just happen to not enjoy those bands so don't own any of their music. An example is VDGG. I have listened to much of their music, but don't really care for it so none is in my collection. It doesn't embarrass me though. |

pre-DSOTM Pink Floyd - never heard a complete album Zappa - never heard a complete album I think that's all. Naturally, there is a lot of RIO/avant, tech/extreme metal and post/experimental metal I haven't heard, but I just don't care much for those sub-genres. Don't care much for regular prog metal either, but I've heard quite a lot from it in a previous much more metal-minded life. |

I can't think of too many things that I'm missing from a prog collection, that I want of course, that are the big ticket gottahaves. I suppose things in the RPI realm is where I have much less than I should...quite expensive, and my lack of understanding Italian helps with that.
Where I do have large gaps is my jazz collection. I have little if anything from the really big names and certainly don't have alot of the important milestone jazz albums that most people who like jazz need to have. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

I don't have any Yes and very little Genesis in my personal collection, which isn't something I'm particularly ashamed of. What I am ashamed of is that I've explored very little of second-phase VdGG (still haven't heard Still Life), and that I have a distinct lack of appreciation for any King Crimson album after Islands. I've listened to Red a few times, but it just slides off my back...save for Starless, which will cause anyone even slightly into prog to experience multiple musical orgasms in quick succession. Starless and Bible Black, Larks Tongues in Aspic...I've heard, but don't possess. I've also never investigated Zappa. I'm sort of terrified of choosing a starting point. ------------- Certified Obscure Prog Fart. http://scottjcouturier.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - The Loose Palace of Exile - My first novel, The Mask of Tamrel, now available on Amazon and Kindle |

I have few artists from the Neo Prog sub genre. I've listened to a good amount of it but only kept what I liked on my iPod... 3 albums total; Arena, IQ, Marillion. I suppose I could use some Pendragon but I'm not too worried about it. Other than that no embarrassment, only keep discovering awesome music thanks to this site. However, I am disturbed by some of the lists others are posting here. So many essential albums/artists people do not have, and their content to not acquire them sickens me. I think we need to assign some people homework...

Also, I consider myself a HUGE Dream Theater fan, but I've never even listened to SFAM.

Let's see. Most important gaps in terms of popularity among Proggers would be:
Gentle Giant- Acquiring The Taste, Three Friends
Rush- Hemispheres
Anglagard- Hybris
Mike Oldfield- Tubular Bells
No Magma at all
Except for the Oldfield album, I've never seen the others at reasonable prices. And some of them (Magma or Anglagard), I've never seen them at all here in Argentina.

| A few albums from each of the following: Banco, PFM, Museo Rosenbach, Neal Morse, Transatlantic, Porcupine Tree, Kayo Dot, maudlin of the Well, etc. People here discuss a lot of obscure stuff as well, so I feel left out anyway and go back to listening to ma' British folk and American/Brit/Canadian singer/songwriter s%^t. |

| I have never in my life heard a single album by Gentle Giant, Camel, Pain of Salvation, Frank Zappa, or anything under the Canterbury subdivision. |

Ha of course! If anything, it's always reassuring there's still such wonderful music out there waiting for me to hear. How terrible it would be if I didn't have any more room for growth! |

Most holes are intended (no Genesis after "Abacab", no Gentle Giant after "Missing Piece", no Yes before "Fragile", no VDGG after "Vital", no ELP after "Love Beach") but the only hole that I think is embarrassing is I'm a huge fan of French prog and I've never heard Magma ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

Dark Side of the Moon, though I’ll probably eventually get one of the new expanded remasters, probably the one with the 2nd live disc.
I do, however, have the tribute albums put out by Magna Carta and Purple Pyramid.

I have many gaps in my collection. Last years I had little money to spend on cd's, plus Spotify came in. Examples of gaps: I have nothing from Rush (it took a long time before liking them, and even now I only like them just a bit) I only bought a few Floyd and ELP albums in my life. Most records I have was from my bachelor days, when I still bought what I liked: so Genesis and Yes, my first prog favorites; I bought a lot of albums from them.
