How strange is your CD collection?

[DnetMHZ]

Ok, many people have told me that my CD collection is quite odd... (well over 400 CD's)

I have everything from Marvin Gay & 50's DO-WOP to Pantera & Slayer.. and everything in between.
Am I alone on this?..

 

[melly]

no you're not alone. i love everything from andrea bocelli the italian opera singer, to jay z and almost everything in between. everything but country (i don't consider shania twain country) and that euro hardcare rave trash garbage. right now i'm revisiting my love for the jimmy eat world disc, but i can't find it anywhere

 

[Zim Hosein]

Variety is good dnetmhz

I have CD's that I like and I can't even read what's on the spine!

 

[DaveSimmons]

Nope -- 1,200+ CDs. Classical, swing jazz, Buddy Holly & Ink Spots, 70's hippies like CSNY, 80's punk, new wave, hard rock, metal, 90's mostly singer-songwriter types (Tori Amos, Peter Himmelmann, etc). Also lots of Celtic, and weird pseudo ancient music like Dead Can Dance.

Everything except rap, broadway and bubblegum.

 

[PoPPeR]

never bought a cd in my life, didnt' really listen to music until Napster was shutdown

 

[Ryan]

I like Mariah Carey

 

[DnetMHZ]

Cool, good to see that others are as vast musically as me

 

[Jzero]

I have 3 John Tesh CDs.
I have CDs from: Vietnam, India, China, and Uganda. To name a few of the more obscure ones

 

[NewSc2]

I have Gipsy Kings to John Coltrane to Red Hot Chili Peppers to Rage Against the Machine and back down to Led Zepellin. Not to mention BT and Paul Oakenfold and Elvis.

 

[Platypus]

lol

 

[agnitrate]

my definition of strange conforms to the standards that are based upon the opposites of the conformist bands you see today and therefore is better than yours.

[Platypus]

You sir, get a 10.

 

[Sketcher]

The Cramps.

 

[BurnItDwn]

hmmm ... I got my death metal, black metal, doom metal, power metal, thrash metal, progressive metal, and stoner rock, as well as some classical music ... and some bands that mix classical music and metal (Haggard) ... my tastes are not as diverse ... but i really like what i like.

 

[SWScorch]

Some of my extremes include:

Emperor (Black Metal)
Nile (Death Metal)
Lifehouse (pop/rock)
Bach (Classical)
Enya (New Age?)
Gregorian Chant
Love Songs
Mandy Moore (Pop)

 

[syzygy]

I have 3 John Tesh CDs.

the question was for 'strange', not pathologically hideous

 

[eviltoon]

I used to think I had a varied and ecclectic collection. Then I met a friend who introduced me to world music and bought lots of that . And then I progressed to jazz and bought lots of that. Then I stumbled onto Dwight Yoakam, and thought maybe I could like country too, but that fell through. Although I think Dwight is great! Then my wife introduced me to Motown and Soul, which I missed entirely and bought lots of. It goes on. Like Dave Simmons post , I have some 1200 cd's.

Here are some names

Novalis (german prog rock from 70's)
Material Issue (90's power pop)
Ryuchi Sakamoto (some japanese synth dude)
Ars Nova (Japanese girl band aggressively redifining progressive rock)
Bill Frisell
Ten Years After
Screaming Trees

 

[Dufman]

its so strange, that i dont have one; other than the burned CD's from music i downloaded LEAGALLY from kazza

 

[de8212]

I've got the usual form Garth Brooks to Natalie Merchant. Classical, rap, heavy metal.

And I have a couple that are so weird I won't even tell anybody.
