Are there any other music collectors here in the forum? I just counted, and I'm up to 1,400 albums now. A little ridiculous, but, well, I love music! Maybe it'd be fun to list what you feel is the most obscure artist or album in your collection... (preferably ones that you actually like...

Music formula. Check out my transistor 1.) God : Thought : Song Intro, the very first sound. 2.) Food : Word : Song Lyrics, the story if you will. 3.) Neighbour : Deed : Song Chorus describing a concept to a neighbour. Like ants or bees. We eat our fill in the world, then describe the...
