Music

So I was thinking as I compiled music to carry with me how many songs I have and how many albums (CDs for the youngins). It occured to me that I only have 5, yes 5 albums that I would listen to all the way through and like EVERY song. They are not necessarily listed in order of preference, but by release date.

Trans-X - Living On Video (February 2, 1986)
Pet Shop Boys - Please (March 24, 1986)
Boston - Third Stage (September 23, 1986)
Debbie Gibson - Out Of The Blue (August 18, 1987)
Debbie Gibson - Electric Youth (January 2 1989)

So in almost 20 years no artist or band has produced an album (not including greatest hits compilations) that I like every song. But this goes way back also, all the way to the 50’s. It also amazes me that all 5 of these albums all came out within 4 years of each other. To top things off I still listen to these all the way through, in the order that the artist arranged them.

I guess that is why everyone buys just the songs they want online since there is no point in buying a disc with only a couple "good" songs on it.
