  1. I have a theory that no matter musical genre you favour, everyone owns something by the following artists:
  4. Paul Simon - Graceland
  5. Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge Over troubled Water
  6. Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine
  7. Beatles - anything! Although the White Album and Abey Road lead the pack
  8. Madonna - The Immaculate Collection
  9. Bjork - Debut
  10. U2 - Achtung Baby
  11. CCR - some greatest hits collection
  12. REM - Out of Time
  13. The Stone / The Who (or possibly both) - Greatest Hits
  14. Pearl Jam - Ten

I think an interesting offshoot of this list could be same idea, but with an embarrassing theme - for example, Thriller by Michael Jackson or some horrid "This Is Dance 1992!"

Have I missed anything?

This made me start wondering... If everyone on here created a list "my cds" and put in everything they own. It'd be neat to have a program go through and figure out what single album is owned by the most people.

Everyone owns a Queen's Greatest Hits album. In Terry Prachett's/Neil Gaiman's book Good Omens they put forth a theory that any tape left in a car will gradually morph into Queen's Greatest Hits!

Also, maybe not as much with younger folk, but everyone I know owns Boston - Boston.

You know, you made me realize that my list is quite "age-specific". You are comletely right about Queen, but it is an 'older cousin' thing in my books. Interesting...

dgeiser1308/14/2001

busy, are you saying that everyone owns those specific titles by those artists or that everyone just owns 'something' by those artists. i am confused...

busy09/06/2001

I think it's everyone owns something by these artists, and usually it's the title listed...in my experience anyway.

The only one I have is Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine and REM - Out of Time. The only other artists I have a disc by is Pearl Jam. I think my CD collection doesn't properly represent the musicians I like. I have a tendency to go balls out on lesser known bands and but multiple titles, e.g. Cake, Toad The Wet Sprocket, The Tragically Hip, Mark Eitzel and others.
