Albums you are ashamed not to own

What are the albums that you know that you should own but don't. A few of mine are

• The Beach Boys: Pet Sounds
• Nora Jones: Come Away with Me
• Pink Floyd: Dark side of the moon

for me, Sea of No Cares by Great Big Sea is one that I SHOULD own but don't.  I am a procrastinator and I'm just waiting for a Very Good sale.

I should probably also get another copy of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana since my younger brother keeps forgetting to return it.  heh heh.

i'm ashamed not to own:

the other two DVN albums
system of a down - toxicity
BNL's rock spectacle
the beatles - revolver, rubber soul
U2 - the joshua tree

plus i have no albums whatsoever by REM or TMBG. *hides*

there are lost of other albums i should own but can't think of any right now. :P

I don't have any EFO save for a couple live shows.

*peeks his head out*

I don't own "wood."  There I said it.  I am quite ashamed.

I also don't have Joni Mithcell's "Blue" or own any Bob Dylan.  There are others but that's all I can think of for now.

*goes back to hide*

well man, im in the same boat. *hides eyes* i don't have "b." yes, it's true.

The first album of La Rue Ketanou
The first album of Tom�s Jensen
All but "Quatre" of  Thomas Fersen (juste cause I own Quatre)
Boris Vian

and for things you're all more likely to know

I have no EFO cds.. well.. I've got two.. but they're burned
Don't have Erin McKeown
Don't have any DVN albums
Don't have any U2, but I've got my roommate to furnish me in this field

And Nate, I'm very much ashamed not to own any Tom Waits..  But my sister is around whenever I want to borrow hers :D

 

I'm ashamed I don't own Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer's other two albums besides _Tanglewood Tree_. I really should get those.

I whole-heartedly agree with you there.

Also Erin McKeown, Love and China, O Brother Where Art Thou, A Mighty Wind soundtrack, Road Kill in Amerikana, and SO many others.

Anyone who owns no Tom Waits albums should be ashamed. :)

See I was actually going to post that. That I have two categories that fit this thread. Things I want but haven't gotten around to which shames me...and stuff I feel like a shamed outsider for not liking. Like Tom Waits. :)

Hell, if you don't own all 349 of Tom Waits' albums, you should be ashamed. :)

I own all but one. :)

*Owns no Tom Waits albums and is very, very proud.

What I should own and what I want to own are two different things. ;)

I've got a massive list of things I want to own (curse of running a music store and cruising the database) but I really *should* own a copy of Pink Floyd's The Wall. Had it on cassette years ago but I've never gotten around to replacing it since it broke.

We'll teach you to like good music yet. ;)

Well that's fine and noble and all...but what the hell does good music have to do with Tom Waits? (ducks) :)

Wow, and here I was.. thinking you had taste. Sheesh!

I'm just kidding. I think he's a great writer and such. I just can't LISTEN to him. I like covers of his stuff. :)

Fair enough. :)

Andrea, you're my hero.
:D

I cannot hear that phrase without Cameron in my head saying "Ferris Bueller, you're my hero" :)

hahahah

Being an enormous Beatles fan, I don't own Let It Be or THe WHITE ALBUM. Yes you heard me, I don't own the white album. Shame on me!

I have always wanted to get the very best of the Cure but just haven't had the chance.

Finally, I do not own U2's The unforgettable fire.

there i presume that is it this time around.

Yeah. What Gordon said. Also:

any Beatles, any Cure, any David Bowie, any Patti Smith, any Rolling Stones.

and the only U2 album I own is Achtung Baby.

I've only had a CD player for the last two years, so I got a slow start. I justify my lack of classic album owning in part because we've got a good public library that is my local Beatles/old blues music/opera/local folkie supplier. It makes me not want to move, and I nearly went batty when it was closed for renovations for two whole weeks.

Should own but don't:

-All the Fruvous CDs. All I have is a tape with like 5 songs on it. -Linkin Park's Meteora + Reanimation. I'll find them on ebay soon.

not ashamed to own:

-Barenaked Ladies' Stunt + Maroon-theyre not sellouts people, these two albums rock.
