How many songs do you have in your music collection?

I'm probably at 250.

Just music (rock, jazz, etc.) and what is particularly interesting to collect??
A lot of different music ..
BUT ..
A lot of time I had to find a good resource where there is a garage rock 1963 - 1967. A month ago I found a few good sites. Has already chosen 157 artists. If you take the songs that figure to get more. But this is not the limit. For the future have a list in which more than 500 groups .. In this regard, garage rock 60s is almost endless.. Besides it is interconnected with the garage rock psychedelic rock 60s ..
.

.

Sorry, the number of songs would have to be expressed in exponential notation.

And while I have time on my hands, I don't have THAT much time.

The garage rock era is very, very good. I like a lot of that music as well. Do you know the 13th Floor Elevators? "You're Gonna Miss Me" and "Reverberation (Doubt)" are key tracks there. Van Morrison's Them are a pretty neat group as well.

I don't know how many songs I have in my "collection". Are you refering to an "MP3-collection" or whatever, that some people download and never hear? 'Cause I don't dig that. Never did. In digital media I use .FLAC only - other than that, I have a CD collection (real CD's) that spans 2-300 albums, and I probably have 4- or 5000 songs.

... So I guess I have around 5000! Give or take a few hundred.

Do you really personally love and often listen every song in the whole playlist? That's insane!

Playlist? What? No, this is real CD's that I put on when I feel like it. I like to slam on my expensive headphones and enjoy each instrument to the fullest. Music is something you feel in periods, at least for me, and at the moment I don't listen to for example my Stevie Wonder albums and Black Sabbath albums. Right now I'm into David Bowie and Genesis. I switch. I'm a young man, I've got the time. I know practically every song by memory anyway, lyrics mainly. 'Cause this is really great music. Terrorism is insane. Rape is insane. This is not insane.

Thomas wrote:Music is something you feel in periods, at least for me.

Same here. I just had a really heavy Red Hot Chili Peppers/John Frusciante-period (and still listen to it a lot), but I also listen a lot to Britpop now (The Verve, bit of Oasis, The Smiths). I guess I'm in a bit of a transition period.

Yes I know the 13th Floor Elevators - "You're Gonna Miss Me".. Familiar and the band The Sonics - favorite song "Psycho a Go-Go"..
The hardest to find a group who were less known and recorded two or four songs (sometimes an album). For example
Castaways
Electric Prunes
Fluctuation
Jimmy Rabbit & Positively 13 O'Clock
Mac Phadens Parachute
Amboy Dukes
Apollos Apaches
Mouse And The Traps
The First Crow To TheMoon
The Chocolate Watch Band
The Clockwork Orange
The Inferno 5 Plus 1
The Lollipop Shoppe
and many many others.
It's very interesting to listen to it all. Even more interesting to learn that some rock stars started in the garage rock.. The Pleasure Seekers gave Suzi Quatro her start.. Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top was in band from Texas Every Night A New Surprise.. And it was funny to hear that the 60s were playing what was called later punk rock and post_punk. Many interesting things began to learn.
Began to find groups of 60s whose sound was cloned in the late 70s. There was a group Joy Division (1978 - 1980) ..
But there is another group - It's Us. Found his song "Don't Want Your Lovin'" on the site (at the end of the page)Garage rock Radio. Also I suspect that ahead at me more many opening.


P.S. Also I suspect that ahead at me more many opening - Spin the Groove (rarities fron 50s & 60s)

I guess you know Strawberry Alarm Clock. I don't know - they're more of a hard-core psychedelic rock band than a garage rock band, aren't they? Either way, it looks as if their album is pretty hard to get - "Incense and Peppermints". Great song. Never heard much from the album though. Perhaps I should...

Strawberry Alarm Clock did not know .. Did not come across .. Thank you. Under the name of a rock band and the song found a video of their performance "Incense and Peppermints".. Liked it.
.
Another good song that I found recently "I Had Too Much To Dream" group Electric Prunes.. And it is tougher - Zakary Thaks "Bad Girl" ..
