Musical interest
Mainly Neo Prog and Symphonic Prog, but do listen to and enjoy all kinds of music, including Jazz, Blues, etc.
Hard Rock / Heavy Metal still give me the kick, but not as much as before.

My music interest started with Pink Floyd - The Wall and Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Rust Never Sleep. All hell broke loose since that summer with a 120 Tape with both double-albums on it.


I would like to share my AV setup with everybody, because I no longer actually put disc into any device anymore. Yes, I am a Geek.

My Raing System
I rate based on my own personal liking only and has nothing to do with the quality of the album, so some considered Masterpiece by the general public may receive low rating from me.
In general, I only rate regular release. However, there are exceptions.

Music:
5 - Favorite (Will take these to an island)
4 - I Love it (I listen to these all the time)
3 - I Like it (I will listen to these occasionally)
2 - It's OK (I rarely listen to these)
1 - I don't like it (need to get rid of these, or keep for collection sake)

Movies:
5 - Classic
4 - Excellent
3 - Good (Worth Keeping)
2 - It's OK (Good for one watch, but not worth keeping)
1 - Terrible (Delete, but don't know why able to watch the entire movie)
