Let's Play The 'what If' Game

[sodamntired]

what if you woke up one morning and discovered that all of your cds had been stolen. all of your mp3's had been deleted. everything to do with the music you love(d) had been taken away from you.

 

my question: what is the first album you would buy again and why?

 

 

this should get some interesting posts...

[Monochrome Rainbow]

Beautiful Midnight. It quite possibly saved my life as a teen. Well, it did, actually.

 

 

Plus it's been on sale at Future Shop for the past while.

[CaptainRocket]

I would probably buy something I had always wanted but never owned. A completely fresh start...

 

Then I would go to pawn shops and get all my shit back.

[shade]

Radiohead - Kid A or Tool - Lateralus

[clickarmy]

I'd go buy a 2six for starters, then I'd probably start with either underdogs/beautiful midnight or nirvana's nevermind

[Computer]

You Forgot It In People, or Born To Run

[andielicious]

i'd go get all the matt good cd's. they get the most play.

[Audio of Being]

I would go and buy again:

All of my Matt Good CDs

All of my Sloan

All of my Oasis

 

 

Edit:

And redownload the live concerts I had lost, esp my Oasis bootlegs.

Tough question. Probably something nostalgic like Sixteen Stone by Bush.

[Some Random]

i'd immediately download the nine inch nails discography because it's easy to find as a whole. then i'd hunt down matthew good's albums, starting with avalanche.

[soundless_space]

Eh, probably MG's Avalanche. Or for some reason, I want to say something quite nostalgic for me - Rush's Signals.

[sodamntired]

i'd buy Pluto - Pluto.

 

its one of my favorite albums and its everywhere used and cheap

 

And I would buy Local Rabbits - Basic Concept. I'm just a fan of the Canadian pop/rock

It would definitely be Matt Good. Not sure which one though. What a horrible thought. I'd definitely be hitting the torrent sites like a nut case, that's for sure.

[mrs jesus]

jerry cantrell - degradation trip 1 & 2

 

what if sodamntired STOPPED POSTING ENTIRELY?? wow, dare to dream.

 

ps i'm kidding, i actually like this thread

[Muran]

I'd prolly go get Barenaked Ladies - Rock Spectacle, Great Big Sea - Road Rage, Philosopher Kings - One Night Stand, and In A Coma. I need my live CDs for some reason.

[Jarrod]

Ummm... Probably all the Matthew Good albums... and Siamese Dreams by Smashing Pumpkins.

[borntohula]

i'd probably get tool's lateralus, first. that one means a lot sentimentally, and sortof represents my shift from liking really vaccuous types of music to stuff that means a lot more when it comes to one's noggin.

 

i would probably shit my pants though if i woke up and everything was gone/deleted.

[joe lon and the snakes]

that actually almost happened to me. over spring break one year, my car got broken into. they took the radio and then popped the trunk and took the 12-disc changer. ...i was out of town so i had taken out all the cds for the plane ride. thank god. i'd have lost all my mgb (all up to beautiful midnight) and then some.

 

that was awhile ago, so now i'd start with matthew good, specifically hunting down the history teacher tracks, bela fleck and the flecktones' Little Worlds, then sam roberts... and madonna's Immaculate Collection.

[juanpe]

I'd buy "Black celebration" by Depeche Mode... It was the first vinyl I bought when i was very young and I keep so good memories of that moment: my parents kept on getting CDs for me but I wanted to have a vinyl version of this album ("totally useless" according to my parents, since I already had the CD...)...

 

... and I got so happy when i could finally buy it ;)

[leftofnormal38]

first off i would probably be plotting and searching for the s.o.b. that stole/deleted all my music and about after a week when that plan falls through and my psychoticness weakens i will prob start off with

 

MGB- lotga

White Stripes- white blood cells

Harry Chapin- gold medal collection

The Streets- original pirate material

 

and yes i am a huge harry chapin fan

[gorram_feds]

Wow, what a crap scenario to envision, but to answer the question, I think my first re-purchase would be Andrew W.K., "I Get Wet" (though his second album, "The Wolf" would be my next purchase; Long Live The Party, as they say).

[cweb]

probably (in this order):

MGB- Underdogs

Radiohead- Kid A

David Bowie- "Heroes"

NIN- Downward Spiral

Depeche Mode- Violator

New Order- Power, Corruption & Lies

 

of course this would be after the fury settles. and when/if i'd catch the thief, i'd congratulate them on their superior taste before i beat them to a pulp.

[Ravenous megin-sane]

against me! and matt good.

[Audio of Being]

Abbey Road by the Beatles.

 

Everything by Sam Roberts.

 

Matt Mays and ET

 

 

EDIT: All CDs by Sam Roberts.
