i have none of those. most are crap. of course some of the stuff i listen to might be considered shite...

I have those of Madonna, Verve and Scissors Sisters.

I have one, Play by Moby.

Introducing The Hardline According To ... - Terence Trent D'Arby 1,721,685

Surely some mistake?!

i have five. not all of them that good. i was younger and more foolish.

29

In my defence, this is just a small fraction of the albums I own. A very small fraction........honestly.

Me and Karen have 34 of these. 6 were mine.

I've 6.

Only two right: Guns N Roses and Nirvana.

Scissor Sisters and Thriller, that's all. Doubt I'll ever play that the former again, either.

I cajoled a 'friend' to come to a NO gig; in turn she made me go to see Bon Jovi. I am still in therapy.

Mind you, the other guitarist blokey made the night a little easier on the eye.........but not the ear.
