Give me some old-school hip hop.
Slick Rick, Erik B. & Rahkim, Heavy D & The Boyz, A Tribe Called Quest, Black Sheep, ...hell I even like 3rd Bass.
But Eminem...I want to punch him in the face. By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! |

OH, one more;
EMINEM
I own nothing by Eminem.
I'm sure I have him as a guest artist somewhere, but that's it. |

Michael Jackson...I've just never cared enough for enough of his music to actually go out and get an album. I think he was an amazing talent, just not my cup of tea.

I can't believe that I have NEVER owned a copy of Thriller. It is beyond me how this happened. It is also beyond me that the only MJ or Jacksons release I ever owned was Off the Wall on CD. I have at least 40 MJ/jacksons songs on my iPod. Weird.
Not hard to believe at all. They played that album so much on top 40 that you didn't need to buy the CD yourself. "Remember, one man's filler is another man's killer" -- Haystack |

THIS.
I do like Prince, but in terms of a music forum, the Music: Non-Prince section of this forum is one of the best I have encountered on the web.
So much so I don't visit the other music sites I belong to as much. The diversity is amazing, I think the only genre that hasn't been covered here is Bluegrass. Maybe.... 
right! and I can't tell you how many times I watch something on youtube that was posted on our non-Prince music and then went right over to napster to download.
Actually I'm due to lose my 15 credits by the first of December so I am looking for some new stuff to download. "Remember, one man's filler is another man's killer" -- Haystack |

I cannot believe that people do not have any Led Zeppelin or The Beatles. They must not like good music.
I think Led Zeppelin is so much better than The Beatles. So is Pink Floyd. I listened to The Beatles growing up because I wanted to understand the fascination that I wasn't getting. I loved 'Come Together' and was getting into The Beatles when they broke up. But there are 21 Beatles tracks in my collection. 26 Led Zeppelin tracks. None of 'The Who.' One Aerosmith (Janie's Got A Gun), otherwise I don't like listening to Aerosmith. Rolling Stones, one (Paint It Black). There are maybe 6 or 7 Stones songs I like but certainly no urgency. Pink Floyd 36 tracks. I should have more Floyd.
I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

You couldn't have bought Thriller on CD back then, because CD's weren't out yet. But it was on record, 8-track, & cassette. Maybe even reel to reel, but not sure about that. Reel to reels were still in production then though. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton |

Yes, but very few record companies were issuing titles on CD in 1982. It was a new media. It took years for record companies to issue all titles on CD - even new releases. |

I know that, but I believe Thriller was indeed issued on CD while the album was still wildly popular ('83 maybe?). "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis |

Not likely. I was around then. The 1st time I saw or heard of a CD anywhere was a maxi single of Electric Youth by Debbie Gibson. I guess that came out in 1986 or 87. I know Bad was on CD on 1st release, because it (and other albums of the period) had extra songs that weren't on the record & cassette to get people to buy it. Not many people had the player. I remember it was advertised at the time that CD's were indestructable. They don't sound better than records either.

I use the term "CD" as a generic term for recorded music. It doesn't matter the medium used. I used to use the term album for all forms of music, cassette, vinyl, 45 record, LP. It didn't matter.
I know when CDs were first available. My first purchase when the medium was new was Freddy Jackson and Phyllis Hyman. That was at least 1986. "Remember, one man's filler is another man's killer" -- Haystack |

I was around then too (although young). According to this, Thriller was released on CD in 1983:
Several months of delays and anticipation dragged by, until in late June, 1983, CBS finally shipped the first CD "prepacks" to a select 35 accounts. Each prepack had a total of 12 titles, with no more than a total of 1000 prepacks altogether in the first shipment. Among the individual titles were Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here, Billy Joel's The Stranger, Michael Jackson's Thriller, and Toto's Toto IV. Other titles were jazz and classical. The CD era had begun in the United States.

You could say "album" instead, but sometimes people think you mean vinyl.  |

Right, that is why I just call everything CD even if the music dated back to when CDs weren't in existence "Remember, one man's filler is another man's killer" -- Haystack |
