That's exactly it, Mark -- I really WANTED to like a lot of this
stuff! Yet there's still so much more to hear, Hawkwind being the
PERFECT example. I don't know a single person here in the States that
truly knows them...
1,000 CDs should be enough, right?
1000? ONE THOUSAND??! Wimp.
:-))
I mean, if I listen to say, two each day, it would take me about what, a
year and a half to hear them all? Or should I resign myself to the fact
that I will always want to hear more and never let any of my music go, since
it does define me, if not at present, then at some point in my life.
When was the last time I really had a hankering to listen to, oh, I don't
know, The Wonder Stuff? I never loved Elvis, either. :)
Weigh in! How ridiculously extensive are your collections?
Well, including all the CDs people
have burned for me, and bootlegs, it's well over 4000. How do I find time to
listen to them? Can't say I do, but they're there if I want them! I 'know' (in
e-mail terms) someone who has three times that, but, like me, there must be
huge swathes of his collection he barely knows.

4000 recordings, keeps acquiring more).
