I wanted the title to be:
All the Young Dudes Old Farts
but Multiply wouldn't let me.
I tend to keep out of music discussions here because I've never heard of most of the artists mentioned; they're either too recent or not in my chosen genres. I suspect also that my own collection is sufficiently esoteric that the vice versa applies.
As confirmation of this, I've put together a list of all my recordings (excluding the countless illegally taped records and pirated CDs), and I have a challenge; I would wager a large amount of money - say, one virtual dollar - that no single person here has more than twenty of the recordings in my list, that collectively you own less than fifty of them, and that no-one else here has even heard of more than half of the artists on my list, and or has recordings by more than a fifth of them.
I've not distinguished between 'classical' and 'popular' because there are too many borderline cases.
Any takers?
The list is here
