We're in the same boat; although, I've heard of some of the people like David Gray or Alien Ant Farm...just wouldn't buy their albums.

16

I have 2, and I dont want any other ones from it.

0...and proud of it.

rotfl

woo hoo, I have 2 (U2 & Tool). 95% of what's left I don't give a flying f**k about. And the record industry wonders why sales are in the tank :p

I didn't expect to find one, but there are 4 I have. Dido, U2, Sade, Enya.
I bought a lot more that probably didn't even make the Top 500.

After a quick count, I think I have 10. I forgot about the O Brother, Where Art Thou soundtrack, then remembered I got it as a gift a while back and just haven't listened to it yet.

Unlike the doubles you get, the NOW CDs here are single disc and there are about 3 released per year. NOW 8 was released in November.

Comparing the domestic one to the UK ones in the import sections, only about 2-3 tracks (of 18) match up since yours reflect current UK chart hits and ours is the US chart. Simply put, completely different for all intents and purposes.

I have 2


IMO the best album this year was Horror Show by Iced Earth, probably not even in the top 1000 on Billboard though.

I have:

MATT

(Just two?)
 

The Beatles - 1
Lenny Kravitz - GREATEST HITS

I buy so many CD's it's scary, but can only get to 15 here, and even that includes 4 from my fiancee's collection that I wouldn't have otherwise purchased. I did much, much better with the Q magazine list also being batted around this board...

Bottom line: most music being heavily hyped these days isn't that good - even Billboard's editor said recently that all that's out there is teen pop, nu-metal, Nashville country, and samey sounding rap - to stay in business long-term, they are going to have to provide more intelligent alternatives here and there... though there are plenty of those available on indie and import labels everywhere these days (White Stripes, Ron Sexsmith, Avalanches, Theivery Corporation, Ed Harcourt, Wilco, Chamber Strings, and on and on and on...)

Only 2. Creed - Human Clay and U2 - All That You Can't Leave Behind

10
 

1. Beatles - 1
2. Staind - Break the Cycle
3. O Brother, Where Art Thou? - Soundtrack Various
4. Lifehouse - No Name Face
5. Faith Hill - Breathe
6. D12 - Devil's Night
7. Dixie Chicks - Fly
8. 3 Doors Down - The Better Life
9. Tool - Lateralus
10. Incubus - Make Yourself

Of the 10 numbered, I bought Staind, O Brother, Faith Hill, and Incubus myself.

The rest were given to me by friends, lovers, or family.
I can say that I don't listen to these cds on a regular basis anymore.

Most are hardly listened to at all anymore.(2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.)

I have 11

2 HOTSHOT Shaggy
7 BREAK THE CYCLE Staind
10 COUNTRY GRAMMAR Nelly
17 NO ANGEL Dido
19 TP-2.COM R. Kelly
34 BREATHE Faith Hill
41 DROPS OF JUPITER Train
42 FLY Dixie Chicks
43 THE BETTER LIFE 3 Doors Down
48 SOUND LOADED Ricky Martin
53 DOUBLE WIDE Uncle Kracker
54 WHOA, NELLY! Nelly Furtado
72 THE MARSHALL MATHERS LP Eminem
75 ALL KILLER NO FILLER Sum 41

I have six - but all are bootlegs or copies.

Let the flaming begin!!!

In my defence, I would have bought NONE of them anyway so in that sense, it is no loss of income to the artist, other than adding to the overall woes of the industry by encouraging the bootleggers to do it at all.

Had I not bought bootlegs, I do not feel I would have missed much anyway.

Terry

Eeek, 24!! How embarrassing. :blush:

And from the list it looks like I have a taste for nothing but one-hit wonder alterna-sludge and tinkly, bling-bling R&B.

But I can proudly say that only 6 of those albums were purchased new (well, new and on sale for $11.99) - OutKast, Janet, U2, Tool, Weezer, Maxwell. All the rest were purchased used at prices well below $8.99 a pop.

11. Most popular music sucks. Radio sucks too. I prefer lesser known artists.
