I have about 625 titles. If you factor in discs in box sets individually, it would be about 700. I still have over 400 LPs and 500+ singles. I did break down recently and weeded out any album replaced by a CD unless it was collectable. I ended up donating about 60 albums. I’ll go through the singles this weekend.
Actually I do have more, but some of them I choose not to count (for various reasons). And each and every one of them is nothing but psychedelic polka.
I have about 8,000 discs. Of that, 7950 are Grateful Dead shows, the rest is mixed 70’s rock like Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Zappa and The Beatles. Of course the Dead discs only cost about .50 piece, so it’s not like I have $80,000 invested in tunes
I have about 500. About 200 are cast recordings, the rest being selection CDS from theatre people, plus good sections on ABBA (and pre- and post-ABBA ABBA), and Julian Lloyd Webber. All taking over my two room apartment.
A lot of them are imports, cost anywhere from $30 to $100! Well worth the investment, because they go out of print quickly and the resale value becomes extraordinary.
Approx 250 CDs, I’m not gonna count them all but I can give percentages.
punk 20%
electronica/loungecore/post-rock 40%
rap/hip-hop 25%
pop 5%
new-wave/goth 10%
heavy metal 00%
More than 250 but less than 300. I don’t know the exact number because I haven’t updated the inventory on excel since last fall.
I have a dozen or so soundtracks
5 or 6 “various artists” comps
5 christmas
1 country
and the rest are in the alternative/rock spectrum, 99% of which are from the mid-90’s or later.
I’ve only got about a 100 CD’s.
Came as a bit of a shock to me when I got married - leechboy has about 1000 CDs which he keeps in his bedroom draws, explained why he keeps his clothes on the floor thought.
I was planning to catalogue them for insurance purposes (that and the video / DVD collection) just can’t be bothered trying to set up a database for it though so thats another job on the to-do list.
