This category would probably cover most of the experimental-classical & avant-jazz stuff that I buy. But I still like to buy that kind of stuff.

Too many CDs too list, but having now ripped most of my CDs to my MP3 player, pleasant forgotten surprises are surfacing occasionally, like at least two Town and Country albums that I should have played earlier.

and I must persevere with the Shalabi Effects albums...

Oh and PB - MAKE THE TIME FOR "IT'LL END IN TEARS!!" You will never regret it.

This happens to me all the time, although I often discover and delight in them months later. Some I feel guilty about:

Sonic Youth - Murray St.
The Fall - Slates
Jandek - One Foot in the North
Miles Davis - Filles de Kilmanjaro
Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun
2nd disc of both Pavement re-issues

Every time I come across one of these in my collection (and there are many I've abandoned early) I try to convince myself I won't buy CDs more than one at a time. It never works.

Speakerboxx/Love Below

Most of them.

Oh gosh, I've done this with so many albums lately and I keep meaning to listen to them again. None of them are anywhere near half-bad, either. Offhand:

Fats Waller - 1926/1927
The Millennium Collection/20th Century Masters/The Best of The Gap Band
Ian Crause - Head Over Heels single (or is an EP?)
Gary Wilson - Forgotten Lovers
The Slits - Return of the Giant Slits
King Pleasure Sings/Annie Ross Sings
Mike Watt - The Secondman's Middle Stand
