Music is so subjective, especially the heavier stuff, that there's not much middle ground between love and hate, making recommendations trickier, haha.
Not speaking directly to you, but anyone who's building out a collection or is interested in discographies, pressing info, etc. discogs.com is a really good resource if not already utilizing it.
I've probably bought 200 albums on Discogs in the past couple of years. It's an amazing resource for filling out your back catalog, especially stuff that's hard to find or out of print. [Reply]

I've yet to purchase anything from their marketplace, but I do use it a lot for pressing info and as a valuation metric of my collection. Another thing I love about it is the band member links to see what other projects they've been part of and such.
I'm getting better about it now, but for many years I would only purchase 1st or limited pressings in the year they were released. If I missed it when it came out, I missed it. Its more of an obsessive compulsive quirk than an elitist behavior thing for me though. [Reply]

My OCD thing is that I have to have every studio album for every artist in my "A" list.
Some of those bands have been playing since the 70's and their early albums tend to be smaller releases or even downright obscure. Discogs has been invaluable in getting copies of albums that would be otherwise unobtainable for me. [Reply]

Ha, thats awesome. Love hearing about the collecting quirks of others. [Reply]
I had thought Big Sonic Heaven died a long time ago but just found it. My favorite. Cool tunes, cool vibe. Nonstop sonic stream. Playlist changes weekly. Give it a few songs to grab the vibe.
