I’ve shared this photo of the CD tower before. And my speculation
that there are more CDs somewhere.
I want this tower to go in this week’s dump run so I pulled all the CDs out of it and sorted through them.
I alphabetized them, removed the duplicates, matched loose discs up to empty cases and in true college form (since most of these were bought when we were in college) I stored them in milk crates
I am missing a bunch of CDs. There is only 1 Bon Jovi CD and only 1 Duran Duran CD and that simply is not possible. I owned all their albums up through 1990 or so. There is no Berlin, no Guns & Roses, no Siouxie & the Banshees, no Rolling Stones.
No Rolling Stones!!
Possibly I tossed the bulk of my 80’s pop CDs when I burned them to MP3 but I wouldn’t have tossed the Stones, or Bon Jovi. But there is no other tower anywhere in the house or the sheds. Suddenly this has gotten expensive. I’m going to have to go buy those albums again.
For your enjoyment, this is a partial list of some of the music we liked enough to pay $12-18 a CD for.

You have quality taste in music.
I know all the words to the Humpty Dance.
Wow, those names brought back some memories. I was quite sad to learn recently that my dd does not appreciate the B-52's - how can she not?! You do your best to raise them well and then they turn on you.
ABBA! Indigo girls! Rush! Hootie!
Geez ... I think I could have written your post.
Fun! I love your choices!
