What does your music collection lool like ?

[SteveO]

I agree Jerome, most (barring the young MD members for the most part) will just grab "the latest" sensation in music and then delete it later for the new kid on the block. I worked with 30 people or more at times during my career and I found this was the case with them....listening to the "latest band or artist" ...I only knew ONE coworker who would dabble in all music of all times and I have a few close friends who go back to the classics and are into all sorts of music.

I watched the X Factor this week (yes I appreciate ALL music amateur or otherwise) and this Josh dude sang a very moving rendition of the Beatles' Something ....there's a song that has been around for 42 years or so !!!...I wonder why ????....the Classics still are prominent 50 years later ?,,,why...I digress a bit, sorry.

I prefer physical copies to invisible mp3's. Bought a couple of album downloads but it's just not the same thing. Then you have to make sure you have it all backed up because if you lose your disk drive or iPod you're screwed. So the new convenient technology is not so convenient anymore is it! Wonder what's going to happen when we are all forced to change to newer versions of out operating systems one day????? I do take a portable mp3 player on holiday with me simply because it's a lot easier than lugging discs around. But at home it's always CD's. One thing to note here - because of the 'disposability' of music these days the younger generation are not going to 'hold' onto classic albums - they're just going to keep changing to the next big thing. Maybe the concept of the classic album is a dying one? Any thoughts on this one guys?
