My family and I are planning a roadtrip to upper Michigan. We will be going through Detroit and maybe taking a roadtrip through Chicago, Indianapolis & Green Bay as well. I was just wondering if there are any cd stores to check out. Also will be travelling through Ohio & Kentucky too.
CD Stores in Detroit & Chicago
- Thread starter DFD260
- Start date
Detroit area:
Rock of Ages on Ford Road http://www.myspace.com/rockofagesgardencitymi This store focuses on rock & metal.
Record Time www.recordtime.com This store usually has a great metal section but are also more reputed for their house/techno selection.
Flipside in Royal Oak - This used to be THE place to go for local punk/hardcore and used to have a good-sized metal section, but it has downsized in recent years. (Not that every place hasn't)
Great Lakes Crossing FYE - this used to be a weirdly good FYE, I haven't been there since 2006 so I don't know how they are now.
Encore in Ann Arbor - mountains and mountains of stuff; an eye popping ocean of rock/pop and jazz, classical, hip hop, electronic. I used to go there on an almost daily basis. All used, but I was never dissatisfied with the condition of a purchase.
In actual Detroit, I don't know so much.

Metal Haven in Chicago. great store. They dont have tons of prog and power but enough. They have DVD's, t-shirts, and vinyl. Worth making the stop.

I have always been a fan of Rolling Stones just outside of Chicago as well. Metal Haven is a must though for sure!
You should stop and stay in Chicago for at least a day.
Yeah Rolling Stones, is a great place to pick up the common stuff, like if you want to fill in the blanks in your Yes, Deep Purple, Rush you'll find great deals on them like $5-7 a disc. They're metal collection isnt what it used to be, back in the day that is where I got all my shrapnel releases from but today its mostly the common bands. They have lots of un-official concert DVDs. Its worth while to hit Beyond the Limit just a couple doors down from there, they have a better T-Shirt and Magazine selection.
But for straight up metal just hit Metal Haven.

I miss Impulse. 
Metal Haven is pretty cool, though. And if you get the right person working that day, they can be pretty nice and helpful.
