Funny, most of the albums on this list are pop/mainstream stuff. These artists, maybe early Springsteen and Beatles excluded, are poo pooed and given the eye roll by the alternative/artsy music crowd.

I remember when going to high school with a Billy Joel or an Elton John album would get your ass kicked. Don't even talk about Mariah or Whitney, you would of been stabbed by the Goths.

Few "classics" among these. Mostly greatest hits albums and some soundtracks. A lot of these look like the "CD of the month" initial signup offerings. How many of these are really BMG copies of these albums?

I've got the Beatles albums, Hot Rocks (but I also have a number of the original Rolling Stones albums), the Steve Miller hits album, the ZZTop thing, and maybe a handful of the rest. And I don't have any intent to pick up ANY of the other albums. Even the AC/DC one (I listed to some of their other albums growing up but am not so inclined to put them on these days having been overexposed to those albums).

I have Dark Side Of The Moon and The Wall but I am more likely to listen to Animals, Wish You Were Here, or even some of the older albums.

Most of the albums I routinely listen to will NEVER make this list (they are at the opposite end of the spectrum, one was virtually unreleased in the 1960s, Billy Nichols' album only had a few dozen promo copies pressed and those traded in the thousands of dollars, recently a legit CD was released of those Stones/Small Faces related cuts).
