re: "Yessongs" I own it and have ripped it
re: Vax telling me about the ripped CDs, probably, I just remember you telling me that you had a stack of CDs TO rip, but the mistake is probably mine...
I have Nick Drake, no need to buy for me

And Dale, I should have figured out a way to make this thread invisible to you...

Re: The Drive to 30,000
Jim,

Have you heard of the Vinyl Kings? They are beatlesque. You might check them out:

http://www.vinylkings.com/

They have 2 cd's out "A Little Trip" and "Time Machine".

They'd be a good addition to the Moon. I know Ramsgate really recommends them too!

Regards from Texas,
Ted

Funny that sounds like a lot of Best of cds, the only problem is when you rip them.

No need to keep it invisible. I think I'll just throw down the gauntlet along with you. I know everyone else will help you fulfill your destiny.

But I might have a few more....... um suggestions.

Re: The Drive to 30,000
I had a thought. Why not publish (in this thread) a new weekly total to help reach your goal.

My personal collection just reached 22,743 tracks. (not all prog, however.) Anyone want to help me get to 25,000.

Grand idea - total as of 7/26/08 - 27,443.

What do you need? I must owe you at least a couple of CDs...

Re: The Drive to 30,000
I think I just came up with a new tag line for Aural Moon in the promos.

Aural Moon: The Obsessive Rock Garden.

Whadya, think?

I forgot how much you love Asia! "Who Will Stop the Rain?" is a great song, but it's Asia, so we'll never see it here.

Hey, I don't really care. I've only got the first one myself, and rarely play it.

Well, I don't know the "Who.....Rain" song, so "never" might not be accurate. I tried to like Asia, and toyed with the idea of adding "Cutting It Fine" from the first album - but that would be that graphic Vax posted about Christian apologetics. And for the record, why didn't a band with that talent ever make an INSTRUMENTAL (at least on the album or two I stuck it out for)?

(back to the thread's intent, gotta like 600 songs (more or less) added in the last two updates...)

Asia would definitely become a RQ powerhouse. And there were some instrumentals in the non-Howe-non-Wetton era.
