MUSIC
They say music is a common interest of hackers, and there's at least one
statistical study confirming this. I'm no exception: I like listening to
music (though certain family pressures I had to suffer as a kid made me
develop a degree of aversion to play musical instruments).
Although I like to listen anything that's good, my favorite genre is
progressive rock, which was popular during the '70s and is now coming
back (along with other genres) as a reaction to the total hypercommercial and
talentless crap that's dominating nowadays (you can't hear radio

As it is to be expected, I buy many albums, so I've made quite a big
collection. I've discovered that buying online is quite cheaper than doing it
in regular stores, especially the CDs I'm interested in (since they're not
for the masses and thus aren't sold by volume).
In my opinion, the following forty albums are essential, and no
collection should not have them:
- Brand X:
- Camel:
- The Snow Goose
- Moonmadness
- Dust & Dreams
