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....

    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.

    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.

    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

    Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
    Dinosaur Jr. - Where You Been
