What's the proportion of your cds that rarely leaves your shelf?

[Dick Sirloin]

Depends on what you mean by "rarely." Once a month? Once a year? Once every three years?

 

[NAD]

probably 80% or above. i have lots and lots of albums that i only listen to once or twice every few years. plus albums i listen to constantly are in CD wallets so there you go.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I have (ballpark) 2,300 CDs (not all metal); of these, probably at least 50% are quite dusty. I listen to my metal & classic rock more than anything else, and then whenever I'm in a hip-hop mood. But I think 50% is probably a pretty safe estimate.

classic rock!!!!

 

[NAD]

hahaha what another stupid genre name, classic rock. i mean you can lump together The Who, Pink Floyd, and Bob Seger into that title.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Better than the 1,473 stupid sub-genres metal has become.

 

[lizard]

true.

 

[NAD]

very true. i call everything "rock and god damn roll" anyhow. Robert Johnson to Deathspell Omega. rock and god damn roll.

 

[lizard]

that's cause you got a hellhound on your trail.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I don't even know what's what anymore.

Maybe Zod was onto something. If it's got death growls and is melodic, it's melodic death metal, period.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

thrash metal.
black metal.
doom metal.
Other metal.
Classic rock.
Likes penis rock.
80s rock.

 

[NAD]

Led Zeppelin = guy with a hay thingy music
Slayer = pitchforks in ye bum rock
Opeth = prog wank butterfly logo
etc.

#1 solution to describing bands without calling them melodic folk black evil grim troo vikings with mittens but not kult but thrash blah blah blah in your ass metal...

Two words...

"Sounds like..."
"Elements of..."
"Akin to..."

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I will accept:

Black Metal
Death Metal
Doom Metal
Power Metal
Thrash Metal
Viking Metal (because it's my list, and I fucking say so)

That's it. Nothing else.

 

[Ellestin]

Gay metal/Ungay Metal is the name of the law.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I thought that just went without saying. Heavy metal, that is.

 

[Claws of Perdition]

Back to topic because im slow,
100% of mine, i rip them straight onto my comp like previously mentioned that is my stereo. If i wish to listen to the cd i burn it so i dont fuck to original. The only time they occasionaly go out is when i do my radio show and i need song titles.

 

[Claws of Perdition]

I will accept:

Black Metal
Death Metal
Doom Metal
Power Metal
Thrash Metal
Viking Metal (because it's my list, and I fucking say so)

That's it. Nothing else.

I agree with that but i would accept Heavy metal, but that goes without saying.
Power metal gets in there but with my loathing added to it, can't stand power metal

 

[Demonspell]

40-60%, probably because I try to avoid wearing out even my buy or die albums...

 

[jimbobhickville]

90%+ I rip 'em all to my computer and only take 'em out to put in the car, if I don't have a CD-R copy in the car already.
