Also Pink Floyd/Led Zep/Genesis CDs (i like to keep them handy)

Cool, a fellow progressive and classic rock fan. I got big into Kansas and Beatles, but of course lots of Floyd, Zep and Stones. What's your favorite group/artists?

I'm old so I grew up with this stuff - it's my comfort music

My all time favourite is genesis but I also love Strawbs. 10cc Roxy music. Van dee graaf generator and marillion

Other than that - the soft boys. Tangerine dream
The Beatles belle and Sebastian Hooverphonic. And sparks
And about a thousand others :)

Where i do my writing and photo editing .


I used to do it in the basement office but it's overrun by toys and photography gear.

When i straighten that up i'll get shots of that too - it's where al the posters and other movie junk are

no prob - i take it for granted because i see it every day - it's nice to show it to folks that actually appreciate it - instead of the average person who can't understand the love of music, movies, and books to this degree.

there's a lot of $$$ tied up in there - but i've been collecting since the 80's and i never smoked or drank, and until the last 4 - 5 years - traveled much..

Very cool man, thanks for sharing.

I keep hoping one day I'll be able to afford to move back into a house just so I can have all my stuff in one place again. I've got about 2,000 books. Some are on shelves, some are in boxes, but most are in storage.

I had thousands of DVD's and VHS but I've pretty much ran out of space and sold them all off now. The only ones I still have are TV shows. I ended up just converting everything to high quality AVI files that are stored on Hard Drives which I can then connect to my PS3 and watch. Stuff that I really love and watch frequently though I've either bought on Blu-Ray or am waiting for a Blu-Ray release. I've got about 600 Blu Rays now. I've also been putting a lot of them in DiscSox to save space.

All my LP's are in storage. I still have about 5,000 CD's in my apartment though, but I've been putting them in JewelSleeves to save space. I like the JewelSleeves better than the DiscSox when it comes to CD's.

It kind of sucks not being able to really "show off" my collection anymore, but at least with some of these space saving devices I can keep less things in storage.

I wish my cds were more accessible - I'd love to have a room just for music.
Unfortunately they are crammed into those deep shelves ..
there's about 3400 of them - I had to put them on a database as well.

My next project is to put the vinyl into a database

I need to do the same. There's a shelf I need to clean and bag up properly too.
Think I'm hitting round the 2000 mark now... I'll be out of room in about 6 months I think. Dying to move into somewhere new and set a up music room!
