If you’re looking to get rid of your Korn, K.D. Lang, or Eagles records, don’t expect to unload them at Laurie’s Planet of Sound.
The Chicago record store made its tastes public by posting its “The Do Not Never Ever Buy List” of used albums on its Facebook page.
“It’s a legit list,” Nick Myers, Laurie’s manager, told the Daily Dot. “That was stuff that had been here for a year or two, titles or artists we can’t sell. It’s not our own personal taste.”
Myers acknowledged that despite the list’s functionality, it’s also a great compilation of music acts to snarkily thumb one’s nose at. “It was put up [online] as kind of a lark,” he said.
The photo reportedly made it to Facebook after being Instagrammed by an employee. Unsurprisingly, it’s garnered plenty of debate from Facebook’s amateur music critics.
“no journey?” asked Nikolai Nikitenko. “disturbed and korn? someone has bad taste.”
But other users were on board.
“I totally agree with The Eagles being on there twice,” Eric Allen wrote.
I’ve not been to very many concerts, but one of them was the Spin Doctors.
Waste of time and money.
What’s wrong with Boz Scaggs? “Georgia” “It’s Over” ‘What Can I Say?” They can’t even spell Boz Scaggs right.
Of course you care to remember. :)
A list obviously composed by young, snot-nosed idiots whose only taste is in their mouths.

If they are really selling “records”, I’m fairly sure there are no Hannah Montana or Britney Spears records.
Apparently there is not much of a market for used CDs by those artists.
As in they have one or they don’t have one? Like they’d not be caught dead having one?

LOL, okay I’ll tell the truth: more than I CAN remember!
“What a great opportunity...”
Without a clearer explanation from the mod, I suspect hiding out in the jungles of Guatemala covered in giant feces can make you a bit batty. (teehee)

“Most 90s bands”
LOL. Agreed.
This is a good study on what people buy. It has to be music that few people saved, that does not suck, and the original release. So they say no 60s or 70s if it’s on CDs made in the 90’s.
Plus no 90’s bands. The whole decade is lost. No second tier Hip-Hop, like the clerk would know. No sappy soundtracks, lol.
Ms Langs Crying is the song I imagine your thinking of
No better sound than a lp through a good system
With all the changes in the MSM, isn’t it time to update the list? Better safe than sorry.
Personally, I think that a JAVA gizmo on the submission page or even as a separate page might be the way to go. That is, paste the link in a box, click a button, and it would tell you whether the link is good to go, or what restrictions are on it, based on its domain name or IP number.
Something like the “Down for Everyone or just Me?” site.

A gizmo like that might even be good so that everyone could easily check in-thread links before posting follow up messages.
Well, how many thousand Eagles things are out there that someone hopes to get rid of, but are probably not worth 50 cents? The more popular, the more sold at the time, the less value now. It shouldn’t be that hard to understand.
They could do this list one better by making it official.
Make a list of artists that are marginal or low resale value, along with those that nobody is buying, and put it online so that a quick check can tell someone if it is worth it to bring in their old disks for sale or trade.
It would save a lot of time and unhappiness if they knew their stuff was worthless, so didn’t have to be told that by an employee.
