Maybe this is old news but it's new to me; kind of cool.

[Blah_Blah_Woof_Woof]

That is way too cool! I wish that I could do that with my records!

[rcarlberg]

That is pretty neat. Only the first 100 of each letter though? That's just a piffle.

[Rickenbacker]

How many checked for the "Big 5" right away?

[rcarlberg]

Check out his copy of "Moonmadness" by Camel. Never seen that cover before.

[JKL2000]

That is pretty neat. Only the first 100 of each letter though? That's just a piffle.

Yeah! I wanted to check his Marillion section.

[NogbadTheBad]

He's got Captain Lockheed & The Starfighters by Bob Calvert, good man.

[PeterG]

Yea, only a handful of each letter though, I mean C finishing at CAM is madness, one of the most common starting letters for bands is C.

May not be Big 5 (although they're the best in my book), but here's Peel's wife discussing what was probably JP's fave prog band:

Wouldn't that be S?

[ronmac]

Wouldn't that be S?

I think it would be "T" as in The (______).

... I'm sure most did... but your remarl lead me to do so... Surprisingly for someone who dislikes prog, he had most Yes albums (or he kept them, since, as a DJ, he probably didn't buy most of the albums in his collection)


The idea is neat, but you can only get to the fist albums in each alphabetical >> can't check out his Ge (for Gentle Gient, for ex)
