Post Your 2016 Hauls

It's that time of year again... when us list-o-maniacs post a run down of all of the musical crap we've accumulated in the past year for everyone to "ooh" and "ahh" over.

So...how was everyone's collecting year?

I just looked @ my entry in the 2015 "Haul Thread," and I mentioned there that my CD collection was creeping up on the magic 1000 mark.  I am happy to report that not only did I crack that magic number in 2016, I obliterated it, cuz according to my RateYourMusic page, my CD collection currently stands at 1070. If I'm doing my math right, that means I picked up 128 CDs this year. Yay me!

...please don't tell my wife!

But seriously folks: it helped that about 90% of the stuff I bought this year was either second hand, dirt cheap, or both, mainly from thrift shops like Goodwill (I pass one on my way home from work so I made a habit of stopping in at least once per week) and from the usual online sources. Sadly I had to bid farewell to my favorite online cheap-CD source -GoHastings, which went out of business in mid-year (Choke! Sob! I'll mourn ya till I join ya, Go-H! **tips 40, pours out some Olde English**), so I wonder how that will affect next year's accumulations. I haven't found a cheap music site comparable to GoHastings yet, but I'm still looking...

As far as ranking 2016 releases ... ehh, ask someone else (shrugs). Out of the hundred-some-odd CDs I acquired this year, less than a dozen were new releases. Of the few I did hear, I'd have to say I enjoyed Metal Church's XI the most, followed by Megadeth's Dystopia and Michael Sweet's One Sided War, for whatever that's worth.
OK, enough of my yappin', on with the list...

All in all 2016 was a damn fine year for this CD nerd. I dunno if I'll beat this # next year, but it'll be fun to try
Happy collecting in 2017, everyone. Onward and upward!

Amazing list there. I managed to acquire over 130 cds this past year. Pretty impressive for someone who lives in this part of the world where metal is a dirty word.

Planning on buying less music in 2017 simply because i need to listen to the stuff i already aquired. Of course not sure i will stick to this strategy :-)

I think I got 40-something. I haven't cataloged the most recent ones on RYM yet.

Let's see:

Powergod - all 5 of their full-lengths
Dream Evil - all 5 of their full-lengths
Amaranthe - their first 3 albums
Civil War - all 3 of their albums
Angel Dust - re-releases of their two 80's albums
Avantasia - Ghostlights
Riot - Thundersteel
Savatage - rebought 2 re-released versions of CDs I already have
Wuthering Heights - Far From the Madding Crowd
Crimes of Passion - To Die For (autographed)
Threshold - For the Journey
Armored Saint - Symbol of Salvation
Mystic Prophecy - War Brigade
Blaze Bayley - Infinite Entanglement
Amoral - Fallen Leaves & Dead Sparrows
Rage - The Devil Strikes Again
Rage - 10 Years In Rage: The Anniversary Album
Metalium - their first four albums
Warlock - True As Steel
9.7 Richter - Ground Zero
Axxis - Matters of Survival + Voodoo Vibes
Pink Cream 69 - Change (autographed)
Testament - Brotherhood of the Snake

I counted 41, unless I missed something. I also got Impellitteri's Grin & Bear It the day before New Year's Eve last year, so that just missed the mark.

I think that's only six actual 2016 releases - Testament, Avantasia, Rage, Blaze, Mystic Prophecy + the latest Civil War that I haven't even played yet.

So, a pretty slow year.

I finally completed my dream evil collection this year too! Could not be any happier. Love this band.

I will put my list together later today or tomorrow. It looks like I got over 200, but most, if not all, I acquired at flea markets, pawn shops, and ebay.

Since vinyl is back in vogue, people have been dumping their CD's at incredibly low prices. I think those folks will end regretting that decision, but at moment, good for me.

As usual, Eyesore wins. Haha

Mine genuinely will be smaller this year. I'll get to making a list I suppose at some point.

That is one hell of a haul from Eyesore again!

Wow.  These lists are impressive.

A few years back I would have had a similar list but the last couple years I don't think I've bought more than a handful of albums combined, and very few CDs, mostly downloads.  I'll need to go back through the music acquisition thread to see for sure but I bet I bought less than 10 albums this year.

EDIT: OK I went back through the list and I bought exactly 10 this year:

Devil City Angels - S/t
Diamond Dogs/Jeff Dahl - Translatlantic
Jethro Tull - Minstrel In The Gallery, 40th anniversary Le Grande edition
Little Angels - Too Posh To Mosh, Too Good To Last
Massive - Full Throttle
American Authors - Oh What A Life
American Authors - What We Live For
The Poor - Rounds 1 and 2
Counting Crows - Somewhere Under Wonderland
The Amorettes - White Hot Heat

That's it.  I've spent most of the year making compilations from the stuff I already have.
