someone left a Beatles greatest hits cd and a Black Sabbath greatest hits cd on wall at a heavily populated college bus stop

take black sabbath disc; burn beatles disc.

I'd take the Sabbath as I have all the Beatles music I need.

(ps. I'm not sure which Greatest Hits cds they are)

and I post this story because it happened to me at college

remember to vote

What did you do and why?

what do I need a Greatest Hits CD for again?

take none of them, i don't have the fucking room

it's not worth carrying them home and finding a place for them and do i really want any more cds especially these ones? no i don't

I'm not telling what I did until I see the results

i take none of them: i have an ipod now anyways. also i have listened to every beatles song and am still in the process of going through black sabbath's albums. i don't want a fucking greatest hits.

do college students still remember what CDs are

the beatles cd was a double album. no cds were in their case

I mean to say there was two beatles cds

this seems like we're trying to solve a mystery now

who is captainlorax

John Lennon

i just MCed him for this thread

I FDed you for MCing me

wait these are cds out of the cases leaning on the edge of a bus stop? prob pretty scratched, fuck em

they aren't scratched at all actually

love this thread already

i only steal cds when they're in binders

but no cases right? so i have to like fashion some sort of sling to transport them home without getting them all fuxored huh? fuck em

xpost well if they're in binders yer just fucking asking for it really, generally peeps will just snatch those right out if your hands iirc

also CL if u know that they are unscratched then u took them for sure, u varlot

in this scenario you have a pack because you are coming home from class jjusten

I examined the cds while I was deciding whether or not to take them

as an astute judge of human nature i am convinced that once you pick them up to determine if they are scratched, they are functionally already living in your house by the time you see that they are not

when i was trying to sell/move/get rid of all my belongings before my move from chicago to hawaii, i came down to the 11th hour with my CD collection (maybe 400-500?)

most of them were too beat up to bother trying to re-sell, and i wasn't really into half of them anymore anyway. i was way more focused on moving vinyl to my new place, as most of the CDs i cared about i had on a hard drive already.

what i ended up doing: holding on to about 2 dozen that had sentimental value and/or badass/collectors item packaging, then taking the rest and putting them (jewel cases and all) into a pair of huge trash bags. then i drove in the rain at 2am to the front stoop of my former college dorm, where i ran out of the car, dropped both bags, and drove away.

if you find any debbie gibson greatest-hits cds laying around at college, take them.

but if this thread were 10 years ago i would have taken both without thinking.

today i wouldn't take either.

I leave stuff like this around all the time. I want you to take them.

Take none of them and download some Nirvana. Apparently, they're like Black Sabbath meets The Beatles. Kill two birds etc.

take both discs, shotgun a beer, beat the college kids with a brick from the wall, drop out of college.

I barely graduated with a Bachelors degree to be honest

but the question is did you graduate with a bachelor's degree *in being honest*

Greatest hits CDs. With no cases. Yeah, I'm pretty sure in the year 2010 that counts as trash. Do you go through these same moral quandaries when you see yesterdays discarded newspaper lying on the ground?

xp

Sort of yes

My last college exam I took a couple days later then the rest of the kids. I'm a statistics major so I took it at the end of a table in a fancy conference room in the statistics building. I had my bookbag with all my notes sitting next to me and the professor only checked on me occasionally. This was the most worried I ever was about passing a class and I thought about peaking at the notes in my bookbag because I had gone through every question and I thought I didn't think I was going to get the grade I needed to pass the class. Ultimately I decided not to look in my bookbag even if I had to wait all summer and take this class, my last class neeeded, again 3 seasons later when it was offered again. Right after I decided not to cheat my professor popped his head in the door

I got a B in the class and I was worried about a D. I have no freaking clue how I possibly got that good of a grade. I attribute some of it to honesty

wk, my moral quandry was that sabbath is evil and the beatles are good, i felt as if my decision actually makes a difference in the grand scheme of things as if I was choosing between good and evil. or both. why I thought that way at that time is a mystery

I just saw that moment as very symbolic

my life is pretty deep

Take none of them. Don't care about Black Sabbath, and the only Beatles track I really love is "Eleanor Rigby", but the greatest hits cd probably has that awful stereo version with the vocals on one speaker only. If it has the mono version, I might consider taking it.

My sister found a garbage bag full of dildos and 1x Jack Johnson CD...she took the Jack Johnson CD.

a garbage bag full of dildos and 1x Jack Johnson CD

Must've been some session.

My sister just found a bag full of dildos in her parking lot

Q: What's the difference between Jack Johnson and a bag of dildos? ...

A: assholes never get tired of Jack Johnson

Make sure your Jack Johnson has a flared base, people.

This was a lolworthy start to my morning, thx!

These Beatles CDs get everywhere. Ubiquitous, one might say.

Holy god, that's golden.

"Greatest Hits are for housewives and little girls"

I think somebody was performing a psychology experiment on Ozzy Osbourne, and wanted to see which one he would take first.

I'd take 'em if they had cases but fuck a CD without a case...

i would never want to listen to Black Sabbath in a greatest hits context...they're an album band imo.

same with the Beatles towards their mid or later period, though it might be nice for the earlier stuff

I've been waiting forever for a Beatles-Black Sabbath thread just to announce to the world that whenever I play "Rocky Raccoon", I mentally do a lyric substitution...

His name is Magill,
And he calls himself Bill

...just cause it amuses me.

Anyways, I'd ignore 'em both (already got the complete discographies, practically)

I own every album by both bands. And I hate cds. So I would definitely leave them there for someone else.

Beatles.

hi Bill Magill.

i would furtively take both, then regret it and leave them both on the bus

complete the circle

remember to vote

I don't think that I can take one
because it's too easy to go home and download and make one
and I'll never have the time or inclination to remember to do it in preference to new and/or interesting things that I'd rather hear again
oh noe.

I'd take none of them. If I'd choose one it'd be Black Sabbath because I already have everything by The Beatles and it might be interesting to check out the best of what Black Sabbath were doing after the mid 70s.

Greatest Hits are for housewives and little girls

Greatest Hits were once a rather nice way to check out an act you were curious about.

These days, of course, we have Spotify and filesharing clients for that though.

I still don't know what Spotify is

lol at missing the Kids in the Hall ref. but then again did they have that in norway

Oh, the shoe salesman/Doors sketch! I knew that sounded familiar

wait, so what you're saying is that The Beatles are good and Black Sabbath are evil?

You, CaptainLorax, are Tipper Gore, and I want my thirty dollars.

wd tell the Beatles CD to FUCK OFF

Would take the sabs CD to listen to in the car, leave the beatles CD or maybe drop it down the drain.

They're both evil! The Beatles had that non-christian Maharishi phase, remember?

Captain Lorax, y'all.

I Love You Beatles But I Choose Darkness...

Man this thread resolution felt like watching an alternate universe The Sixth Sense where Bruce Willis merely drives home and credits roll

glad yall voted

thanks for the thread.

Fact: There are more criminals amongst Black Sabbath fans.

Hey, which came first, the 2€ coin or the Canadian twoonie?

man that cd's gotta be worth something by now

the only Beatles comp actually called Greatest Hits didn't come out on CD iirc. terrible tracklist too

http://ring.cdandlp.com/grigo/photo_grande/114769906-2.jpg

the vinyl had *twelve* tracks on one side! musta sounded terrible.

terrible tracklist too

God yeah, those beloved Beatles hits are all dreadful.

this must be the most boring dilemma of all time
