New to the music part of this site. A question to all: — 4 years ago

On a list like this, would you check off albums that you’ve heard, or albums that you own?

Whatever

What you want to do with this list is totally up to you dude!

Well, i’d say check off the ones you’ve heard- trouble is, does then giving up on something or being reasonably familiar without hearing it through count?

Own

I do what I own, it’s the easiest to quantify.

It depends on what you want to accomplish. If you like building libraries then ownership is good. I would guess the spirit of the site is more focused on “consuming” vs ownership. I can see the value in at least getting exposure to the content on lists like these.

I own 2/3’s of these and most of the top 100. I don’t own the rap and country albums.

Thanks, all. No clear consensus, it seems, except

a do-whatever-you-want consensus.

For me, I have heard almost all of these albums, but albums owned would be a much smaller percentage.
