genre extremes in your cd collection

i guess my 2 Juliette & The Licks cds are the most out of place in my collection.

I have over 200 Blues albums, and over another 100+ non-metal albumsm so it's too many to list. On top of that, I have a lot of Arabic/Greek/Armenian music, so I'm really out there.

As far as my CD collection goes, nothing too 'out there.' Now, my collection itself is only around 300 or so and tends to reflect my dominant tastes in music (pop metal, glam rock, hard rock and traditional metal). An ABBA greatest hits, the Police's Synchronicity, and some Springsteen, Dire Straits and Jeff Healey is about as far out as it goes.

That's not to say I don't like other genres of music (I'm a total sucker for a lot of 80s pop, and I love the jazz I've heard for example) but I don't have the CDs yet.

Anyone else have this one in your music collections?


HA!

I win.

I can't really put a finger on it, but there is definetely something not quite right with you, TT.

I am into everything in between HARD AOR and BLACK METAL. From 70s HEAVY ROCK till primative DEATH/THRASH SPEED metal, and from CRUST/PUNK METAL till GLAM/SLEAZY METAL. Always from the 70s or 80s or bands of today with a 70/80s sound/look/attitude.

And you don't want to be touching him where he is wrong.

Most of my collection falls into a guitar-based category, be it rock, metal, punk or blues. The only ones that fall outside of that category are some swing music (Big Bad VooDoo Daddy, Brian Setzer Orchestra) and the classics (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Louis Prima)

I like a lot of non-metal music especially grunge and alternative rock of the 80's to early 90' s and I even like a bit of Neil Young and Bob Dylan. I suppose though that nearly everything I own is guitar-based like MetalGuy71 said. So I'd like most things from Manic Street Preachers to Malevolent Creation and from Chris Cornell to Celtic Frost.

That album rules! You should hear William Shatner doing Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

you had to go and say that... well at least my shrink will have lots of money coming in from me as i try to get over that...

Now all you need is Morton Downey Jr Sings Gospel and the circle will be complete!!

and on a more serious note my collection is expanding into space rock, kraut rock, psychedelic rock. While most of it is as far from metal as one might get it is very interesting. The biggest problem is it just is not good driving music.. You have to sit down and really listen to the music to get it (and for me that is hard with all the distractions)

I have several extremes but the first one off the top of my head is Debbie Gibson and Deicide. My brain loves both.

Ahh Debbie Debbie Debbie....... I brought "Out of the Blue" to work with me today.

Men at Work ------ Megadeth
Bryan Adams ------ Blind Gaurdian
Outfield ----- Ozzy Osbourne
Hall and Oats ----- Hammerfall
Rick Springfield ---- Savatage
Bruce Springsteen ---- Slayer
Billy Joel ------- Judas Priest
Bob Seger ------ Scorpions
Cheap Trick ---- Tesla

Just a few examples

Mortification to Yanni

Believer to Republica

Deliverance to Josh Groban

You can see my tastes vary all over the place, just no hardcore country.
