David Gordon's (My) CD Collection

     Disclaimer: It should be noted that I don't listen to or really like every single last one of these CD's. I keep them all for various reasons; just for nostalgic purposes, or to listen to them every once in a blue moon (although that's only about 10 or 20 of the below CD's - the rest I listen to fairly regularly). Now you may be noticing, "Gee, all these seemed to have been relatively popular bands." There's a reason for that; I'm a scrub and I cheated Columbia House and BMG out of their CD's by various methods - thus saving lots of money - which I'm in very short supply of. If you want to be an asshole and actually take the time to say, "Hey! They suck!!" At least have the courtesy to back up your claim with a logical and well thought out basis for your belief (besides, *l* to tell you the truth, I may agree with you in some rare cases!) So, don't let that which I just said discourage you from writing to me to tell me of your thoughts and feelings. If you want to say, "Hey! They're cool!" Well, I have no problem with that what-so-ever - although, some slightly more intellectual commentary would be more than appreciated. Who knows, maybe you could even be added to the up-coming reviews that I plan on putting on each title I own! Also, I'm looking to start trading burnt Cd's with others to expand my music horizon at an affordable cost without the threat of wasting money on crap. So please browse and email me at dav485q@yahoo.com if you're interested!>>>

(Note: "(CD-L)" is a bootlegged live concert recording [medium-poor quality]; "(DT)" is dubbed tape [poor quality]; "(MP3)" indicates a compressed sound file (usu. of MP3 format) as the source for the dubbing onto CD; "(CDR)" indicates the album's on a recorded CD (from a CD) [CDR-V is recorded from vinyl, CDR-T is recorded from a tape]; "UCD" means the CD is used and might not contain all the original booklets with the CD and some tracks might not be playable; "(T)" indicates that the album's on tape (bought from the store); "(V)" indicates the album's on vinyl; "(TD)" indicates the tape is dubbed from CD or another source (which might not contain all the songs off the album it's said to be taped off of); "(TC)" indicates it's a taped compilation I've made; and finally "(VHS)" indicates it's on video (obviously); unless indicated, all other selections are on CD and are of med-high to mint quality [all tracks playable w/ little or no skips or other sound deterioration].)

Each of the underlined links below are currently out. However, with time, they will be filled in. As they are finished up, a star will appear next to the link instead of the bullet (this is subject to change too). Just be patient!

Also Note: My own brief descriptions for each band, or at least something to give you a good idea of what each band might sound like, are at the very end of each list item in "{brackets}".
