I'm this is on your list, Dave! Everyone that I know except for me and maybe one other person hates it. I think it's amazing.

Especially disc 2. And especially disc 1.

You have me beat Omar, I only have 20. I actually have more than that, but those are the ones that I have purchased on vinyl or CD. There are a few more I want to buy like the Jellyfish albums and Woodface.

All that King Crimson and not a mention of In the Court of the Crimson King? I've only ever listened to that and Red.

I think I have 27. I'd have to check my collection to be sure of a couple of things.

Brian has you all beat.

True, Jellyfish were a great band, often overlooked.

But where they really shine is as fashion pioneers.



Along with greebo haircuts (this band is Pop Will Eat Itself even though they look pretty much the same as Jellyfish)--



I'd say that the "Jellyfish look" remains at the cutting edge of haute couture.

Remember, these are my favorite 100 CDs; In the Court Of the Crimson King is on the original vinyl. I can guarantee Close To the Edge will be in my top 5, too, but again, it's etched in fossil fuel.

The Jellyfish box set is fun, too. Lots of hidden treasures.

 Some of the twenty six in my tally are on vinyl, but let it be noted that I have The Dreaming on CD and LP. It's that good.

In the interest of full disclosure, I counted things I own on vinyl as well as CD in my 27. I did not, however, include things I have only in mp3/other digital format because I'm still old-fashioned enough to think of that as not really "owning" an album.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.
