I’ve come to the less then stellar conclusion that I’ve got the most random collection of CDs and tapes out of all my friends:

Selected sample:

- Disturbed (their first one)
- Simon and Garfunkel - Greatest Hits
- Chicago
- Steps (their first one)
- System of a Down - Toxcity
- REM - Automatic for the People, Monster and Out of TIme
- UB40 - Colour of Love
- Daruade - Sandstorm
- Live - Throwing Copper (ok, so everyone has this one)
- Michelle Branch (her 1st album)
- Dire Straights - Money for Nothing and Communique
- Bomb-Funk MCs - Freestyler
- Portishead - Dummy
- Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and 1979
- The Living End (a Aussie ska/punk band, their 1st album)
- Counting Crow - Recovering the Satellites
- A few dance/trance/ 80’s techno records
- I might even have Vengaboys and [shudder] SpiceGirls lurking in the back of the box.

So I’ve got a collection which has something that’s guaranteed to offend someone except for me. The weird thing is that I still listen to them on a regular basis; it’s not like they are bad purchases (at least in my eyes).

I can’t be the only one, can I?
