Who bought the LEAST amount of CD's this year?
 
I have scoured my brain and cannot think of one single CD I bought in 2002. That's bizarre considering my collection is over 2,000 CD's... well, maybe that is why. I have too much already.
When I had a cable modem I downloaded a ton of Mp3's, but haven't burned them. And more often than not, I gotta spend my money on other things.

My New Year's resolution is to buy one CD next year! (used of course)

i think the last cd ive bought in the past 4 years was cassius' first cd, about a year ago for like 4 bucks

gotta love mp3s

Oh, I am definitely a candidate. Lack of funds, and lack of 'must have' releases.

Strokes (disc. to 8.99 with bonus DVD), Trail of Dead, Peter Gabriel, Tom Waits, Pere Ubu, and a Pink Dots CD is all I bought going from memory.

The damn things cost too much for too little value. The music industry (at least the majors) deserve their troubles.

I'd say anybody who bought no CDs will probably win this 'contest'.... :D

It seems like each year I buy less cds than the last.

Out of the handful of cds I bought this year, there are only two that I really like and still listen to:

Gomez: In Our Gun
and
Queens of the Stone Age: S.F.T.D.

Zero from me....I won David Bowie's 'Heathen' from his site, and meant to pick up Christian Death's 'Born Again Anti-Christian', but Best Buy don't carry it. I asked for it for Christmas, if I don't get it I'll order from DDCD--but after the new year so I still have none purchased this year ; 0.
And yeah, I'm all for an industry making money, but you gotta admit, they are shooting themselves in the foot. 99% of everything sounds like everything else [to this old man, anyway], and the rest of it is impossible to find or hear on the radio. Thank whomever for the Internet, with streaming samples, promo mp3's, ordering virtually anything....And to hell with H Rosen and her fascist crowd. [Lars: Fans--you're thieves! Well, guess what--not a fan anymore.]
And I heard some big commercial on the radio today--'How many clicks does it take before someone becomes a thief? *pause* One...Please, don't download music....From your friends at Clear Channel.'
Um, yeah.

I only bought one but that was a gift for someone.

Mopower 12-05-02 10:04 PM

Haven't bought a CD since mid 2000.

evenflow 12-05-02 10:25 PM

I still buy about 3-4 cds a month. :(
