Your favorite music store, and why?
Some like Best Buy or the other big-box places, others like local indie stores, others prefer Amazon or iTunes. Back in Santa Barbara, there was this great store called Morninglory Music. Two, actually, one downtown and one in Isla Vista. Here in SF, I have Amoeba Music and Streetlight Records, among others. I went over to Amoeba today and got some Probot, Tool, Massive Attack and Perfect Circle.
I like them because they have a huge selection of both new and used, knowledgeable staff, and other things like posters, DVDs and VHS. I had trouble finding Probot, went to the info desk, and they told me it was likely filed under Foo Fighters, and it was. I just said it was "A Dave Grohl project," and the guy knew where it would probably be.
What I'm really curious about are the locally-owned, independent, brick-and-mortar shops you've been going to for years but aren't known outside of your area.
