I have been a customer of this store for over 20 years and I love it! The selections are great, and the employees know their stuff! I highly recommend this store to those of you looking for everything from mainstream to the obscure.

This is the place to go if you like music, but not the music that plays regularly on the radio. Located in a nice, new, college area strip mall it's more college-cool than strip mall. The place does cater primarily to the local UCR student body, so expect a lot of indie rock, but it is in the Inland Empire, so there is a good selection of harder fare, as well as, well, everything else. The staff is very knowledgeable and always ready to help, even if that entails special orders. There is also a good selection of used CDs if you're looking for something cheap.

PROS: Diverse quantity of styles and genres. Friendly staff.
CONS: Not as cheap as the big chains.
