If you had to completely replace your collection..


My buddy's music collection was completely wiped out when his house was robbed. I asked him what selection he replaced first and was surprised to hear his answer: HSAS- Through the Fire (Hagar/Schon/Aaronson/Shrieve) from 1984. So, if ALL of your music was taken away, what is the first selection you would replace? I would be lost and would need counseling. But, I believe that after therapy I would seek out Gary Myrick's Waltz of the Scarecrow King.

Dave Mathews and Tim Reynolds Live at Luther College which is a double cd, and guaranteed to lift the depression for at least a couple of hours
Since I am mostly an LP guy, I would call Classic Records, Acoustic Sounds and then visit EBAY and Half Price records and begin replacing what was lost.

As to artists, whatever I managed to find first. I would eventually want everything replaced, or at least as much as possible. Some items in my library are nearly irreplaceable.
I have been collecting music since the late 1950's, started with 45s, moved to lps, reel to reel, cds and back to lps. I don't think I would have the heart or energy to replace 40 years of collecting. I guess I would just buy a cheap radio and enjoy the music.
