In Reply to: which do you have more money invested in, gear or music? posted by oymo on February 25, 2007 at 14:48:59:
Although I have thousands of CDs and thousands of LPs, my wife likes to point out from time to time that I just keep listening to only about a handful of albums most of the time. And it's true, there are only about 15 to 20 albums that I absolutely CANNOT live without. Several of the albums puts me to tears every time I listen to them, and the others just puts me in a better mood when I am down, while others just take me to another place altogether.The older I get (I'm only 36), the less I subscribe to the thinking that if you like music, you have to have a lot of it. And I know several people that would go through albums and only keep the ones (maybe 1 in 50) that really "speak" to them. So they have a very small music collection, but each of their systems is worth over $100K. Does that mean they are less a music lover than the rest of us?
I mean, what is the true definition of a music lover? Does it mean that the person has to love (or own) tons of (and all kinds of) music, or subscribe to the view that he needs to keep on exploring new music all the time. And the time he stops exploring new music, then he is no longer a music lover? What if someone only has, in his possession, a handful of albums that he truly enjoys, and wants to have the best system to maximize his experience listening to those handful of albums?
Just some random thoughts on this rainy afternoon where work is slow.
