It's impossible to say.

I have 1100 albums on my iphone alone. lol.

Maybe I could say what my favorite albums I listened to on a specific given day. But that's about it.

I used to spend hours and hours digging through used record stores. Boxes and boxes full I had collected over the years.....I guess it's easier to carry everything around on one device, huh ?

I have a whole section of shelves in my library for old albums, cds and even a lot of my old cassettes and 8-tracks.

When I'm in my cars I like to be able to just plug my phone into the stereo, though. It's just convenient is all.

Really need a device that plays flac files, though. Rippping to mp3 just isn't the same. It's just okay, I guess.

Great list. I played the crap out of Screaming For Vengeance when it came out. Ditto Blizzard of Ozz. If I could have added more than nine I would have put Wish You Were Here (I know one of your choices), Quadrophenia, Permanent Waves, Houses of the Holy, After the Gold Rush and Dire Straits Making Movies.

I've been practicing too... maybe I'll get some new strings for my 60th birthday coming up next month.

Speaking of Rush, I could easily pick nine good albums of their's, not even including the live ones.

The wife turns 59 in November.
We met in 1987, the last year I saw Rush in concert. ( just something I never thought of)

I last saw Rush in Richmond in 1990. Mr, Big opened for them. It was the best show that I ever saw them. They were relaxed and clearly having a good time. Robert Plant and the Black Crowes played the next month. I was in heaven.
