I have 59 from the top 1000. Most of them I already had though. The only ones I got BECAUSE they were on the 1000 chart would be (if I remember correctly)...

Nick Drake - Pink Moon
Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin and Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Beck - Guero

Fortunately, I have a real job now so I can binge... and the albums are typically $2 each. 😁

I also picked up War, Remain in Light, Never Mind the Bullocks Here's the Sex Pistols, and Mingus Ah Um. Thanks Top 1000!

Cause youtube sucks ass. And CD's are higher quality.

But, to be fair, I think I only own about 60-70 CD's... 🫢 I'm on a teenagers budget. I usually use P2P for getting albums.

Or mixtapes, or free shit, or w/e. I've heard most of our top 1000 though, at least once.

Why would someone not want to own a copy of the music that they love to listen to?

I'd guess I have 250-300 of the top 1000 on CD.

I enjoy having a physical copy of the albums that I really enjoy.

Currently that's about 40, but that's excluding pretty much everything before the 1990s that my Dad owns anyway. I may buy them sometime in the future.

I try to buy an album every week if I can.

I've been spending a portion of my paycheck on albums in the top 1000 and it has introduced me to a ton of great music. I'm interested in which albums you have bought because they were in the top 1000 and your opinions on them. Here are mine based on first impressions. Fortunately I have a daily three hour commute, so I have lots of time to give some of these another listen. 😁

Okay

The Clash (London Calling), Elbow (The Seldom Seen Kid), Jeff Buckley (Grace), The Smashing Pumpkins (Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness), Supertramp (Crime of the Century), Tom Petty (Full Moon Fever), The Velvet Underground (The Velvet Underground & Nico), Violent Femmes (Violent Femmes)

Some Good Songs

Bjork (Debut, Post, Homogenic, Vespertine), Blur (Modern Life is Rubbish, Parklife, The Great Escape, Blur, 13), My Bloody Valentine (Isn't Anything), Nirvana (Bleach), Oasis (Definitely Maybe), The Stone Roses (The Stone Roses), XTC (Skylarking)

Solid

The Cars (The Cars), Green Day (Dookie), Nirvana (In Utero), Oasis ((What's the Story) Morning Glory), Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (Damn the Torpedoes)

Spectacular

The Flaming Lips (The Soft Bulletin), My Bloody Valentine (Loveless), Nick Drake (Pink Moon), Nirvana (Nevermind), Pink Floyd (Dark Side of the Moon), The Smiths (The Queen Is Dead), Weezer (Pinkerton)

So what have you bought?
