User Reviews for 2nd Avenue Records

I had just recently moved here from South Florida. Back home in SoFla there was this really awesome record store that sold tons of independent and obscure bands. I am really into the metal/hardcore/deathmetal scene and I found that was the only place in SoFla that carried that music. When I moved out to Portland I thought there would be tons of record stores and Id be able to find the bands and music that I wanted pretty much anywhere. Well, after scouring the town and jumping from store to store realizing that metal isnt very popular here. I came across 2nd Avenue Records. They probably have the LARGEST selection of metal and hardcore I have ever seen. As well as a whole lot of other stuff, including an incredibly large selection of vinyl. 2nd Ave is the metal store.
Pros: selection, atmosphere, METAL

2nd Ave. is the quintessential independent record store. Respect is paid to many styles of music. Vinyl is king here while CDs are plentiful too. Fans of hip hop, punk, ska/rocksteady/reggae, etc., can find things here they wouldn't find anywhere else.
Pros: tolerance, rarities/1st pressing, lots of vinyl
Cons: hard to find parking
