should we underline all the ones we've downloaded off the internet? *snerk*
ut becomes clear I am not enough of a music snob . . .

[tlunquist.livejournal.com]

I own one of them and have heard two others. There are numerous artists of whom I own or have heard other albums (or parts of, but not all of) the specific ones listed. And there's one of the two I've heard that I know Erik had when we were married, so I would be an ex-owner-in-law of that one.

But I don't consider myself a music snob at all, even a little, and never have. If I like it, I like it - I'm not too worried about what anybody else thinks.

[freeimprov.livejournal.com]

Eeep. I've actually heard Metal Machine Music. AND the Bonzo Dog Band. So much of this stuff i used to have on cassette, but i'm not counting those. Sigh.
