Rock n' Roll Doggie Band-aid
Well, I was downloading my CD Collection into my iPod and realized that my musical tastes have changed quite a bit since the late eighties / mid-nineties (which is, basically, when I seriously got into music). Of course, U2 has always been there but I noticed some interesting trends in my CD collection:
1. I own 10 Erasure CDs, including 4 singles and maxi-singles Actually, the first CD I ever bought was "Chorus". Today, I can only bear their greatest hits (e.g., A Little Respect, etc.) and "The Innocents" which is, in my opinion, their best album. I should have stopped buying after "Wild".
2. I own 7 Roxette CDs, including 3 singles. I should have stopped buying after "Joyride".
3. I own 3 Technotronic CDs, even though they only released one real album (Pump Up The Jam) but I had to buy the remixes and re-remixes. Obviously, I should have only bought Pump Up The Jam (which is, by the way, a great dance record).
4. I own things I could not even play today, like Wreckx n'Effect (remember the "Rumpshaker" song), Kriss Kross (teenage rappers whose only hit was "Jump") and Mark Morrison (remember "Return of the Mack"). I guess most of this were impulsive purchases that I then regretted...
Does this happen in your CD collection as well? Has your musical taste changed? Do you own things that you would rather throw away today?
