Your CD Collection

[jordanmichael]

also, along with in the aeroplane over the sea, pet sounds is in my top 3 albums of all time.

[reebty]

When people who haven't heard of Augie March question me about them, I find it hard to shut up, so I'm not going to fall into that trap again. EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD SHOULD LISTEN TO THIS BAND.

also, your mississippi john hurt collection needs the "last sessions" album. it's soooo good!!!

I know, I actually stole it from the internet recently.

[justinh]

i approve of W. Earl Piglet's record collection.   8)

[Maaik]

Actually guys, I just checked my stacks and all I've got are 483 copies of Sandinista! on cd, cassette, vinyl, cdr and flexidisk.  I coulda sworn I had a Radiohead ep somewhere, but apparently not.  Shucks.
