Re-Building Album Collection

edited March 2007 in Other Music
About 7 years ago my album collection was stollen (long story!). Around 300 albums in total.
So, I slowly started to re-build it. But I noticed I was taking great care in choosing which albums to replace!
Looking back now, the first 5 albums I bought in the re-building were:
Ten & Vs by Pearl Jam. Tonight's The Night by Neil Young. Faith No More's Angel Dust and the Stone Roses debut album.

In the same situation, what would be the first 5 albums you'd buy...???

    How does somebody go about stealing 300 albums? I've got about that many and it makes me nervous....
  • pirlo21pirlo21 Posts: 534
    It was my fault. I stupidly had them in a box in my car! Car was broken into !!
    Idiot.
    Went to a local shop that sells 2nd hand CDs, and most of my albums were there!!!
    Police clearly weren't intelligent enough to see that happening!

    Wow, I had about 30 stolen out of my car ( as well as my cd player) and I was really upset. I can't imagine that many being stolen.

    do you have home-owners insurance? I put in a claim on my mother's policy (the car was under her name at the time) and got a good bit of money to replace the stolen goods. There was a deductible, but well worth it.
  • nutmeg81nutmeg81 Posts: 627
    way too difficult!!

    if it were to rebuild my punk collection then:

    sex pistols-never mind the bollocks
    the clash-london calling
    slf-all the best
    ramones-mania
    buzzcocks-singles going steady

    soul....blues.....ska....indie......alt. rock......i couldnt pick!!

    Tried doing the insurance thing, but no go I'm afraid.

    Still the collection's getting back to it's former glory!! It's better than it was, as I get to weed out the weaker stuff!!
    Plus as it happened 7 years ago, some of the stuff I had from the late 80's/early 90's was on cassette!

    I had about 100 cds(and another 100 burned cds) stolen out of my vehicle 3 years ago at a gas station. I went inside to pay and came back out without noticing they were missing. When I got to my destination, they were gone. Mine were all in a leather cd case w/o jewel cases so it was an easy grab for whoever took them. I was majorly pissed. I'm sure I've not replaced all of them but a lot have been. I'm sure I forgot a few that were in there. I definitely feel for anyone who goes through that...
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    I'd probably go for:

    Ten - Pearl Jam
    Dirt - Alice in chains
    Lateralus - Tool
    Angel Dust - Faith No More
    New day rising - Husker Du

    Zeppelin - either II or Physical Graffiti
    RHCP - Blood Sugar Sex Magik
    John Coltrane - A Love Supreme

    Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory
    Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
    Pearl Jam - Ten
    Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
    Dinosaur Jr. - Where You Been

    Is this the same sane, well adjusted man who advocates guns and boasts about how responsible he is ???
    Am I hallucinating again ???
    This board is nearly enough to make me think mind control through computer screens is possible ??

    Oh no! Just realised I haven't got any Hendrix!! It's taken 7 years to realise!!

    Also G'n'R Appetite For Destruction.

    Seems never ending.

    Also, someone mentioned Husker Du earlier. Any good? Should I invest?
    And Tool & Nine Inch Nail, always steered clear in the past.
