I only own five.

Oh wait no three now, I got rid of the two English ones and kept the three German ones lmao.

I intend to buy another one sometime soon

I still buy CDs and rip them in lossless format, so I usually buy albums that I really like for serious listening e.g. alt-J, Bon Iver, The XX, etc. I'm really into the whole album design too and enjoy liner notes, which are things you don't get from streaming services and digital downloads. It's really sad to see CDs dying because the packaging side of it is great and I feel not many people appreciate it anymore.

Some examples...

Blue Neighbourhood, Troye Sivan

Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit, Courtney Barnett

I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It, The 1975

Bon Iver, Bon Iver

Latest CDs I've bought are The Weeknd's and Alicia Keys's new albums

I have 3 Live Lounge CDs (2007, 2012 and 2015) and they are well worth getting, and also Back To Black by Amy Winehouse because she is literally my favourite artist, I've been meaning to buy Frank and Lioness: Hidden Treasures by her for ages but not got round to it.

far too many to be honest. i hope the physical format doesn't die though, people need to be willing to put more money into the industry.

most physical purchases for me are limited vinyl presses now, use spotify for most of my listening so when i see something readily available i think "i'll get it eventually", but lots of acts now put up limited pre-order presses (or indie record store exclusives). have posted a bunch of pics on this forum with my collection but haven't done it in a while so check out what i got for christmas + other recent purchases!
