Subject: Re: recorded music collections

From: Jason Locke <jasonlocke@...>

This got me thinking -- how extensive are your personal CD/LP/CS/45s/78s/8-track collections?  Are most of your focused in your selections, or are you like me -- all over the place and unable to do anything but add to a neverending pile?  I'm taking inventory as we speak, trying to weed out things that I don't even listen to, getting rid of awful albums by favorites artists.  In the past, I was a collector who had to have everything by an artist whether I really liked it or not, but now...man, it's just too overwhelming.  As an example, do I really need to hang on to Yes' "Union"?  I never feel the need to listen to it.  Are there artists you still feel the need to have it all? 
 
Sorry if this is too off topic.  My estimate is about 1200 CDs, 1500 LPs, 1000 cassettes that are never touched these days, 200 45s, and even a few 8-tracks that I haven't parted with.  I also know this is NOTHING compared to some collections, but I was just curious...

Nope, couldn't stand either of them, but I don't like most rock music.  Don't get me wrong, I really like what I do like, but I doubt that's more than a hundred rock albums.
put, Jon, but you liked the Doors, right? And ? and the mysterions?
