Video Vision is another Indian movies and music place on Devon Avanue. It has a good selection here too just like Al Mansoor which is across the street. There is always less crowd here. They have a good selection here but the only thing I don't like is that they do not carry many of the really old movies and music from like the 1960s or 1970s that Al Mansoor does. If you want the recent releases this is a good place to check out because they always have those.

Tower Records has long been one of my favorite places to go pick up a music CD. They have a great selection here and its a small, quiet place. I like how I can take my time to browse through the titles without being hassled by their sales people. Their selection is great here and I think price wise they are pretty competitive. I have never had a problem with anything I have bought here and have always been totally satisfied with my purchase. This is one place that tops my list for music finds!

Tower is a first rate retail store that is up to the minute with the latest releases in just about every genre or style of music, this must be a hard task. They do alot of advertising about their new releases and are great at promotions. I also like their website for ordering online. Their prices are competitive and their customer service is much appreciated. Great place to buy a gift for a loved one or friend.

This place is way cheaper than Blockbuster. They have many movies to rent for as little as a dollar. But usually I just end up buying movies from here - they are hardly more expensive than renting from Blockbuster and I like to add to my collection. They are used movies, probably previously rented, but who cares? As long as the movie plays it works for me. And the cool thing is if you buy a movie you haven't seen before and aren't sure if you'll like, they will usually let you bring it back and exchange it for another movie if it turns out you didn't like it. You can't really beat that.

I love this store. This is a great place to find cd's, whether you are looking for something current, or maybe something older or more obscure. Over the past 15 years, I have probably bought more music from these guys than anywhere else. I have also sold music to them, and every time it's been a good experience. They only buy the best stuff, no scratches, etc. , so you know what you're buying from them will be good. Prices are decent, and the staff is ok, too.

This music store is not only a great place to go find your favorite cd's and dvd's but it is also a historic treasure of the chicago suburbs. This store caters to the needs of any music lover that comes in. The walls are lined with many different categories of music cd's that you can easily spend 3 hours browsing to your heart's content. Also, they have a section that is dedicated to just Music Dvd's. You can find the most obscure music artists in here and even those hard to find artists that you have had trouble finding elsewhere. Their prices are very reasonable. At many times, mainstream CD's and popular artists are sold here for less than ten dollars while being sold for close to 15 dollars elsewhere. They're conveniently open till midnight every single night and the staff here is awesome! Extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

The Staff there was so friendly & Knowledgeable & was able to name the song & artist of several songs from the 70's when i just hummed a few parts & or new only a couple lyrics. I was totally blown away. They special ordered 3 albums for me & knew whre I could get 2 songs I was looking for on compilation albums so i would not have to special order them & with the compilations I would get a lot more songs that i would enjoy instead of an album with one good song & the rest duds. I highly recommend Rock Records to anyone

I love the logo for this store that was drawn years ago. A moose with sunglasses and a guitar. The owner Mike Felten has been described as fiercly independent and is definetly that but is a personable and a downright cool guy. He is also a singer/songwriter that cares about local musicians.
He sells used cds, books and has a whole seperate room of old records (vinyl). I wish I still had my turntable. He is also the host for in-store performances.

This place is really cool. I stop in here periodically to check out their jazz albums. They carry tons of vinyl records -- something I can't seem to find in too many places these days. They also carry lots of the contemporary music in all different forms -- cassette tapes, cds, and vinyl. This family owned place is great and has wonderful, friendly serivce.

A nice runner-up to Dr. Wax. The music runs a bit cheaper here -- used records are mixed right in the normal stacks. Definitely no shortage of music -- I've found that the collection has a slight punk bent. Go here for your side projects & solo efforts, your limited editions, split 7"'s and promo discs. The staff makes it known what they listen to as well -- a listening station lets you hear their favorites. They also fill helpful little labels on the cellophane with enthusiastic copy. They buy music as well -- store credit greater than the cash equivalent.
Definitely worth your time. Go to Dr. Wax for the selection, but if you see it at Reckless too, it just might be cheaper.
