The
CD Rack
A lot of people get rid of their old CD's. Maybe they just don't
listen to them any more and want the extra cash. More often, they're
embarrassed to have people find out what music they listened to in High
School or whatever.
I mark the time when I got a CD player and started buying CDs as the
point in which my interest in music really started to develop. Therefore,
incriminating as it may be, I keep all of the CDs that I own as a record
(no pun intended) of all of my musical influences.
The funny thing is, for as long as I've been collecting CD's, I really
don't have that many.
But, for those of you who have nothing better to read about, here is
a (mostly) complete discography of my musical interests past and present:
