Well, I used to be a musically ahead-of-my-time girl and was so cool that most people had never heard of the hip, happening artists on my CD shelf, ahem. Obviously, that was back in the day. Looked over Rolling Stone’s list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time<\/a>, and while I’ve got lots of mixed tapes\/CDs and greatest hits of the artists listed, but not the original albums…it made me realize how much of a Greatest Hits Collections girl I am, heh. I’ve got compilation CDs up the wazoo. Love them. Can’t get enough o’ them best of<\/i> beauties.<\/p>\n
