Question of the year

[nurktwin 2,143]

As a few of you know I have a couple CD cases in my car that hold about 400 CD's. I recently bought CD cases that hold 28 CD's for Tom's Buried Treasure shows, 1 year per case. My question is "What 28 CD's of all time would you put in the new small case to toss in my new car?" It can be any artist or group from all time. If you can't think of 28, then list 1 or 5 or whatever.

Sadly I don't think in terms of "albums" anymore, but collections of songs by various artists.

ie: Nov 2013, around 20 songs of what I was listening to at that time.

Hmmm, I'll have to think about this one. Good question!

I have to confess I rarely listen to full albums anymore. Everything I love is on my iPod.

This is a great question. I still have favorite bands where I listen to the albums when I can. TPaTH being one of those. But with the iPod those habits are diminishing as others have mentioned.

I think a good place to start is maybe create my own greatest hits CD's for different bands. The only problem is making a greatest hits CD for the likes of The Beatles, TPATH, Stones, Byrds, Kinks, Yardbirds, Wilburys and countless others would all be BOX SETS!!!!! What a "revolting development this is" (William Bendix in "The Life Of Riley"). You'll have to look that up, not many here will remember that!!

I'm quoting you because I like Foo, but one of my all time favorite albums that never leaves my CD case is "Red Light Fever" the second album by Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders.

Whenever I find an album that I love as a whole, I become attached to it.

I bought a new album that came out a month or so ago, that I haven't stopped listening to over and over. It's getting pretty annoying, but it's still damn good.

My CD case hold about 75 discs... It's full. Fits in my car nicely. Haha. Of course, I'm one of those douches that has a bunch of loose CDs on my passenger seat that I switch between constantly.

I'm really getting into the whole "Blunderbuss" album by Jack White too. That's good.

I think the concept or format of having an album with songs that compliment each other and are well balanced is gone, but there are still some artists that stick to a certain formula for making albums that make the flow between songs much more smooth and the relation between them complementing.
