lists...catalogs...organization...and the best albums all in one post
I can have moments of OCDness. I really like certain things to stay very, very organized. I think one of the reasons I like web design is that I get to organize things, and they don't get messed up when I'm done.
In my quest for online organization, I have my:
online photo collection
online catalog of live music
online catalog of books
online catalog of DVDs
Now I'm looking for something similar to catalog my CDs. I realize that with itunes, etc. all of my digital playlists can be available, but I'd still like easy online access to those old fashioned CDs.
I was actually looking for a CD cataloging system when I found the DVD site. I'm on a big(ger than usual) music kick right now, and someone on one of my geeky music boards posted a list of Rollings Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and then listed the albums they own. I don't think Rolling Stone is the authority on music, but they sometimes are interesting, and I'm kind of bored, so here's my list of the albums I own that appear on the list (play along in your own blog or journal if you wish): *This only includes actual CDs I own; not, for example, the numerous downloads of Hendrix songs, greatest hits albums that contain most of the same material, or compilations that may include a lot of the songs, etc.:
1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, The Beatles
8. London Calling, The Clash
14. Abbey Road, The Beatles
17. Nevermind, Nirvana
37. Hotel California, The Eagles
81. Graceland, Paul Simon
87. The Wall, Pink Floyd
131. Saturday Night Fever, Various Artists
187. So, Peter Gabriel
197. Murmur, R.E.M.
207. Ten, Pearl Jam
217. Licensed to Ill, Beastie Boys
247. Automatic for the People, R.E.M.
261. Tracy Chapman, Tracy Chapman
315. Surfer Rosa, Pixies
326. Disintegration, The Cure
293. Greatest Hits, Simon and Garfunkel
327. Jagged Little Pill, Alanis Morissette
341. Play, Moby
376. (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, Oasis
377. CrazySexyCool, TLC
455. Synchronicity, The Police
473. A Rush of Blood to the Head, Coldplay
And stuff that Ineed want to get. In some cases I previously owned the albums, but they wandered off to CDville and never returned. And some I'll probably eventually just download. Anyways, this can be a reference list for me when I'm not in the mood for new music:
2. Pet Sounds, The Beach Boys
5. Rubber Soul, The Beatles
6. What's Going On, Marvin Gaye
12. Kind of Blue, Miles Davis
15. Are You Experienced?, The Jimi Hendrix Experience

43. The Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd
154. The Low End Theory, A Tribe Called Quest
157. Closer, Joy Division
193. Dookie, Green Day
