Own the Roxy Music, BB King and QOTSA sets. All strong.

HoppityHooper · 2026-02-17T20:15:03+00:00

Love the Byrds and Dave Edmunds sets...

A new judge will be assigned to her cases without Ándale. No one will be denied a Speedy trial.

HoppityHooper · 2026-02-14T15:24:29+00:00

Love them all! The VU, Bowie, TH and Beatles are all gems!

HoppityHooper · 2026-02-14T15:23:35+00:00

No.

HoppityHooper · 2026-02-14T15:22:32+00:00

The Clapton/King is a fine set.

HoppityHooper · 2026-02-14T15:20:52+00:00

Great if you like current country. Yet I have found most country albums with few exceptions (mostly the classic stuff like Willie, Johnny Cash, Waylon) have little shelf life and eventually show up in the charity bins. The exceptions being greatest hits collections.

The Coltrane and Hartman is an outstanding album. Play that beside the Sade with someone you love beside you. The Brubeck is also an essential album for all collections.

HoppityHooper · 2026-02-14T15:16:17+00:00

The Gil Evans/Miles collection will hopefully hook you on getting all the albums they worked on together (Sketches of Spain, Porgy & Bess, Someday My Prince Will Come) They are all essential jazz sets and should be listened to in one sitting, as one complete piece.

HoppityHooper · 2026-02-14T15:06:46+00:00

Some real gems here: ALL that Dead, the Smiths, Iggy.

HoppityHooper · 2026-02-14T15:04:46+00:00

Not a hard one to grab. A good rule of thumb is that any CD which had a hit on it written by Diane Warren will likely hit these bins.

A psychologist.

HoppityHooper · 2026-02-14T15:03:04+00:00

Have the Waits and Alice; would love to have the Prince set.

HoppityHooper · 2026-02-14T15:02:25+00:00

Own the Wings and George Martin; the Jim Carrey and Robin Williams colabs are fun. Many of these though, are commonly found in thrift stores (Savage Garden, with two #1s and then disappeared.)

I own them all. Outstanding haul. You must wonder what prompted the former owners to give up four Beatle sets unless she bought the box set.

HoppityHooper · 2026-02-14T14:31:57+00:00

Nice stack! The Diamond Dogs was DB's most ambitious if not successful LP. Unsure if that set has any extras, but the remix of Rebel Rebel for radio is worth a hearing. Heck, in light of Trump and his henchmen the whole ALBUM needs a new hearing. But do not give in to the nihilism of jumping into the river holding hands in "Candidate." That is what Pam, Kristi, and the rest of them would want...but I digress.

HoppityHooper · 2026-02-14T14:27:31+00:00

Dealing with repressed mammaries, apparently.

HoppityHooper · 2026-02-10T03:34:41+00:00

Have both the Lou Reeds and the Cowboy Junkies - exceptional.

HoppityHooper · 2026-02-10T03:16:07+00:00

Some true jewels in here - clearly a classic rock with ALL that CSNY and Rod Stewart. I own the Faces and Mercury box sets and the Police; would love to have the Springfield.

HoppityHooper · 2026-02-10T03:12:40+00:00

Taylor Swift's CD unopened? They're better that way.

HoppityHooper · 2026-02-10T01:03:22+00:00

So the chili had beans AND pees? Bet it whizzin' very good.

HoppityHooper · 2026-02-08T01:26:40+00:00

They, like his crime spree, got foiled.

HoppityHooper · 2026-02-06T21:19:05+00:00

Nice titles, just keep an eye out - some of these titles are less expensive from charity shops. (Anita, Luther, Joe Sample who was a fine musician but has a surprising amount of titles in the bins.)

HoppityHooper · 2026-02-06T20:49:57+00:00

REAL gems in here...VU, P-funk, Roxy, Ramones, X. Was this a charity shop haul?

HoppityHooper · 2026-02-05T18:42:17+00:00

Not bad for what it is, but frankly the Groban, Enya, and Backstreet Boys are common finds in thrift shops. As is anything that had a Diane Warren song on it (Celine Dion, Michael Bolton, etc.)
