    Shit man, that's like the eternal question -- "How much money does a person need?"

    I get your point though. Young's been at it, and quite commercially successful, for some time now. I'd imagine he's got to be financially comfortable, unless there has been some serious mismanagement of funds. I know he partied pretty hard back in the day, so maybe it went up his nose? Plus he has a few kids, two of whom I believe are special needs children, a few ex-wives he probably subsidizes. Management gets a cut, etc, etc. I seriously wonder what his take home pay is for each CD or vinyl album sold?

    I've never been a fan of their music, but I respect the ideology of Fugazi in regards to their fanbase and their approach towards business.

    Yes, thankfully it's fine, cleaned it with some isopropyl alcohol but it has some pretty nasty scratches that wouldn't buff out. My two favourites are Love it to Death and Killer, with Babies a close third.

    I was going to get Neil Young's Chrome Dreams, but the price of that disc is pure extortion, especially as so much of it has been available over the years. Maybe there'll be a Black Friday deal.

    Does the disc still play OK? I had that happen once many many years ago with a Neil Young CD (I think it was Year Of The Horse). New disc with some kind of schmootz on it that messed it up. Went back to the brick and mortar store and got a new copy.

    Those early Alice Cooper group albums they did with Bob Ezrin are amazing. Toss up for me between Killer and Billion Dollar Babies for my favorite. "Halo of FLYYYYYSSSSSS!!!!!"

    Got the expanded CD remasters of Killer and School's Out by Alice Cooper. They sound great, but I'm sick of cardboard packaging for CDs. They were both sealed with the hype stickers on, but disc one of Killer looked like someone in the factory in Germany had chopped and snorted a fat line of coke off of it. Fuck Greta, I want plastic CD cases that machines can put the discs into, not some ham-fisted moron who dropped the disc on the factory floor. I'm sick of music and films is 'special' packaging that are prone to getting damaged in transit or require some scabies-ridden human to manipulate.

    They're exactly what I want in a punk band. Stations of the Crass is extraordinary in that it's an 80 minute punk album that somehow never gets boring.

    I went through a Crass phase a few years ago and grabbed most of their output on CD pretty affordably.

    No regrets.
