metersandmiles Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I made a thread like this in October, people made some great suggestions. http://www.generationrecords.com/ This was my favorite, great store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aarondanger Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Generation for sure! Also try to make it to Academy if you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclz Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Generation Records rules. And I totally wish I could have that Rancid poster by the stairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shenanigans Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 am i blind? i didnt notice a rancid poster by the stairs. Generation is awesome, but also Bleecker records right around the corner had good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
000000 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Bleecker Street Records is really cool. they have the laziest cats in existence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Academy in williamsburg is usually worth the trek. Generation is a must and I think they now own Bleeber St Recs (don't confuse it with bleeker bobs which is only there to drain those with trust funds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtoth000 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 bleecker didnt have anything new only really old stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevorm Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Probably make more sense for the guy to generalize music he is looking for. I'm sure in a cesspool like NY they have rekkid shops that appeal to different musical genres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricsnow Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Definitely recommend Generation as many others have stated. They had so much stuff I wanted to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 If you like Indie Rock I highly recommend Other Music. Great used and new cd sections. The Vinyl is mostly new but there are nuggets to be found. They are really up on the Indie rock scene though if you are into it - you can always find a new band you haven't yet heard of.

drewshannon Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 My favorites are: Other Music (indie rock) Bleecker St. Records (Good place for new vinyl, a bunch of different genres) Generation Records (punk / metal / hardcore, as far as I can tell) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukebileforever Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 Ok, so it looks like: 1. Generation 2. Bleecker Street Records 3. Academy 4. Other Music You guys are the shit, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circlingvultures Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Generation Records rules. And I totally wish I could have that Rancid poster by the stairs. what poster is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headtowall Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Generation is always the go to. if you venture into brooklyn, Academy Records and Permanent Records (which i live around the corner from) are both awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popquizkid Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I second Permanent Records. It's a great shop with some really cool old 7-inches at reasonable prices. Plus they just had a half-off groupon where you could get $20 worth of stuff for the price of $10! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danyc Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Again, depending on the kind of stuff you are after but... Generation is good. Not as good as it use to be, but not bad. The used selection has dwindled a bit recently. Bleecker St. is too pricey. Academy on E. 12th St. is my personal favorite. Not as picked over at the one in Brooklyn. If you have the patience to dig, A-1 Records @ 439 East 6th Street is worth the work. They were selling stuff cheap up until sometime last year and then caught on. Got ATDI's - Vaya there last year for like $4. My friend got In Casio/Out (since I passed on it) for about $10. It's hit and miss, but still worth it. Good Records NYC @ 218 East 5th Street is a cool little joint. Kinda hidden, but way low key. Only open like Th-Sun I think. Other Music. Great if you are looking for new or shit you never heard of. Hence the name. Either way, enjoy. Not the best city for record shopping, but not bad I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
