about how many albums do you own?

[Monkey Bones]

Probably about a hundred and fifty CDs and maybe 100 vinyls. Most of them are kind of old and beat up. I haven't really been excited enough with any new music to actually buy a CD in a long time. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?

Yeah, go check out this format called "8 track"...it's the next big tech craze, you'll love it Bones!

I have close to 1K but that includes the many comps you all sent me. Years ago I sold or gave away about 300 albums. I still have about 250 cassettes both pre-recorded and recordings of many of the albums I no longer have.

On the other hand, I have a hard drive that a friend put 80 Gigs of MP3s. He ripped in my whole rock collection along with his whole collection and an ungodly amount of downloaded music from every genre form Books, to Military, to TV theme and commercials as well as a bunch of rare concerts and the entire Pink Floyd catolog...or damn close.

I'm not a big MP3 fan nor do I listen to alot of music while on the PC...(usually studying for school or certs). I'd be glad to share any of this with those who are into MP3s. I do have an excel spread sheet with most of it listed.

Hopefully when I finally land a decent job, I can buy some new disks and get back in the race.

5000 lps, 1500 CDs and a shoulder high stack of 45s.

I can find any CD in seconds- they are all alphabetized and chronological by artist.

The vinyl, another story altogether . . .

Shokhead- I own lots of CDs that have only a few songs I like. Pretty common with a lot of us, I'm sure. What's the problem with that?

Is that a typo?? Wonder how much 5,000 Lp's weighs?

I'm a 4-track guy. Those big,chrome open face 30 pounders were great.

Yeah, I had one of those new fangled 8-track recorder thingies when I was just a little monkey. That's the sota guy I am (get it? sota instead of sorta? state of the art? funny, eh? heehee ).

But if ya wanna more serious answer, I've got about 1000 CDs and about 1200 LPs that I call my own, although most of my CDs are in storage and all my LPs are boxed up. So I really only have about 50 or 60 CDs. So I have the smallest collection of all you insane music geeks!

[Slosh]

My best guess is $20,000 worth. You do the math

Yes, you do seem to have the smallest one so far, but size isn't everything, right?

That's right, I'm confident my collection is of the highest quality. We were talking about bananas, right? Sometimes I have a hard time following your detours in logic.

Don't you feel guilty engaging in such childish banter with me after reading those historical novellas that Brad and Jay and Jack write? Yeah, me neither......embarrassed but not guilty.....

I spun some Journey on my drive home tonight. You got any of their stuff in those 50-60 albums?

P.S. your banana's small too (but quite active).

I have about 1200 real cd's and about 400 cdr's.

But my collection is pristine and is loaded with MFSL and imports. Keepa ya hands away.

I used to have 2000 + lp's but now have maybe 200. Sold 'em. Or threw 'em away. Yup. Threw away a LOT of vinyl. I had so much crap from working in 2 different record stores that it was ridiculous.

Cassettes? 1. A tape my mom and dad made, their history.

I do want a few MFSL cassettes tho for the hell of it as I have a high dollar cassette deck.

I love collecting music, tho, like most of you.

I just got off of ebay:


Camel - The Single Factor
Camel - Rain Dances
Camel - Stationary Traveller
(cool old DERAM cd's from Germany)

Kino

Went to the used store the other day, got the new Cure on lp (2 lp's, sealed. 14 bucks),

I'm in the market for cool oop stuff. Need a copy of Wall of Voodoo "Dark Continent" cd.

Not a copy, but the real thang.
