Okay, I Finally Have My Five

After very much thought and deliberation I finally have my albums narrowed down. Not that I wasn't thinking about it but there were hundreds of discs I sold so it was hard to narrow it down. I could've even made the list based on discographies instead of single discs. Here they are:

1) The Cure Disintegration. Everyone knows Disintegration is great but I was so eager to get away from goth I fire sold it and everything else Cure I had.


2) Depeche Mode Violator. Perfect album.


3) INXS Kick. What a great album. I thought I was too cool for it. I was wrong. Warning: the stupid skateboard on the cover is totally deceiving.


4) Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream. I was trying to decide between this and Nirvana Nevermind which I also sold. It was really, really close but SP won out. "Cherub Rock." Cherub freakin Rock.


5) Crash Test Dummies The Ghosts That Haunt Me. I know, I know, "CTD?" This album was great. So different. So strange and awesome. CTD should go down as the progenitors of The Decemberists and Arcade Fire.


Some notable discography* sells: The Cure, Nirvana, U2, Smashing Pumpkins, Violent Femmes discography save Why Do Birds Sing?, Pearl Jam, The Doors, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and more.

*Discographies as of 1995
