Exactly one year ago today, I checked to see how many of the top 10 selling albums of all time I had in my collection. At the time, I had three: Led Zeppelin IV, AC~DC's Back In Black and Taryn's Shania Twain's Come On Over.
If we revisit this today, things have changed. Here's where we're at right now.
- The Eagles: Their Greatest Hits - Despite the fact the Eagles somewhat bore me, I now have this album. I'm still surprised this mega-selling disc does not have "Hotel California" on it. Over the past year I added that album as well.
- Michael Jackson: Thriller - The disc is mine.
- Pink Floyd: The Wall - I added a great deal of Pink Floyd over the past year, including this double album.
- Led Zeppelin: Untitled (IV) - I've had this one for quite some time. Is there a high school student out there who doesn't own IV?
- Billy Joel: Greatest Hits, Volume 1 & 2 - I added a two CD collection from Billy Joel called The Essential Billy Joel. I don't know if it's the same set, but it's got all the hits you'll find on the greatest hits. I say it counts!
- AC~DC: Back In Black - Another high school staple, I've had this album since grade nine.
- Shania Twain: Come On Over - As I said a year ago, Taryn bought this one. She's the fan, I'm just a casual observer.
- Fleetwood Mac: Rumours - I don't have it but I now have the Fleetwood Mac box set "The Chain" which is four CDs full of the good stuff. A great deal of Rumours is represented, obviously.
- The Beatles: The Beatles (White Album) - I finally added this classic to my collection recently. I'm still missing Rubber Soul though...
- Whitney Houston & Various Artists: The Bodyguard - I don't own it this one and I likely never will. I only collect music I'm certain I may actually want to hear some day.
