Re: A Brand New Karns
I would estimate 300 to 500 albums would be about right for a nice lean prog collection.

Na. Whats done is done. Easy life for Karns. Karney-boyo is ELP fan not Emmo fan..
Missy & Karns are two different kinds of people, He is Record collector, Collects anything because the majority aint even prog anyway.
Karns is a pudding pot that has serious OCD issues that drastic measures help counteract.

Re: A Brand New Karns
I can see that reducing the music stack to just the real favourites would make life simpler. And think it's a brave decision to do so.
But I'm too attached to a lot of music for nostalgia reasons - and I have shifts in mood where I will only want to play Jazz one month, EM the next and follow that with Prog-metal or Baroque string quartets. Somehow my CD collection is a reflection and a reminder of who I am (big and muddled).
If you want to live with only the Great Prog Classics then Karn's list would be the minimum - but it IS all great music !

Re: A Brand New Karns
Joe that would make a good thread starter! Although I have to say my ten would change from week to week but would include a least 1 from your selection (or it would this week!).joe wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 9:18 pm I have just the one album from that list. ('Lizard').
If you were to hold a gun to my head and demand that I part with all but ten of my albums, I'd settle for:
Half Man Half Biscuit: This Leaden Pall
Half Man Half Biscuit: Achtung Bono
Iggy & The Stooges: Raw Power
Rolling Stones: Exile on Main Street
Bob Dylan: Blonde on Blonde
Big Star: Radio City
David Bowie: Hunky Dory
