Albums I have bought twice
An argument could be made that a person can really only love 500 albums at once. If someone says, "that is my 501st favorite album", it could be concluded that that album is not that well liked. I don't know if the human mind has a limit of 500 favorite albums or if that is just a nice round number that seems to fit. Any more than that, and when you move, you are looking at too many crates. And your run into the 501st favorite album scenario. So I was thinking of what my top 10 or top 20 favorite albums are. Then I thought, "which albums have I bought twice?" If I bought them twice, it means I wasn't satisfied with just vinyl, or I damaged one of them, or I lost one of them, but no matter what, it means I must have liked it enough to miss it.
Albums I have bought twice (in rough chronological order):
1. ACDC - Back in Black (first bought LP in 1981, bought LP again in late 80s, bought CD in late 90s)
2. The Cars first album
3. Black Sabbath - Masters of Reality
4. Led Zeppelin - IV
5. Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic
6. Led Zeppelin - II
7. The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers (bought the one with the real zipper at a thrift store)
8. Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique (lost first CD)
9. Soundgarden - Down on the Upside (scratched first CD)
10 Neil Young - Harvest
This is not a bad approximation of my top 10 favorite albums. I don't think the Cars would make it, but the rest of them might.
