Can anyone tell me the names of any good record stores in Chicago?
If they sell mostly rock and have used records and/or imports,
that would be great.

Among, if not the, best in Chicago would have to be
 
          Rose Records
 
at downtown and suburban locations. Very good selection of 
all types of records, and very helpful staff when
trying to find that hard to get LP.

Rolling Stone Records kicks the pants off of Rose Records.
The downtown location has a huge selection of jazz cut-outs and
other stuff.  The Norridge store is possibly the best record store
I've ever seen.  They have more imports than I've seen anywhere.
Their audiophile collection is huge as well.

I've found some gems at Rave-On Records in Wheaton.  They have lots
of new music, import and otherwise.  Where else can you find (at
one time):
	Material: Temporary Songs
	Praxis: 1984
	The Golden Palominos
	Lots of Fred Frith stuff
	Steve Vai's first solo album (he's the last guitarist to
	play with Zappa - put the album out on his own - he's incredible)

Need I say more.
