I guess the band originated in Oz Title: Re: How many of the best selling albums ever do you own? Post by: donkey on Monday, February 8, 2010, 19:29:42 I guess the band originated in Oz So they did, and I guess apart from the rotary washing line all they have is Crowded House. Still, AC/DC are a Scottish band. Title: Re: How many of the best selling albums ever do you own? Post by: Talk Talk on Monday, February 8, 2010, 19:35:18 So they did, and I guess apart from the rotary washing line all they have is Crowded House. How dare you gloss over Kylie. Although I fancy giving Kylie's face a glossing tbh. Title: Re: How many of the best selling albums ever do you own? Post by: Lumps on Monday, February 8, 2010, 20:04:14 So they did, and I guess apart from the rotary washing line all they have is Crowded House. Still, AC/DC are a Scottish band. OK Malcolm and Angus were born in Scotland but they've lived in Australia since the early 1960's when they must have been about 8 or 9. They're more Australian than anything else. The band was formed in Oz. All the other original members were Australians. I've always thought of them as Aussie. Title: Re: How many of the best selling albums ever do you own? Post by: Langers on Monday, February 8, 2010, 20:09:26 6, not as many as i thought. Poor list though.
Title: Re: How many of the best selling albums ever do you own? Post by: DMR on Monday, February 8, 2010, 20:12:33 Some of you need to expand your repertoire a bit, stop listening to all your shitty "niche" bands to be "different" and get stuck in to some Backstreet Boys (forgive the innuendo).
I have 40ish, I forgot if I was on 33 or 34 towards the end and can't be bothered to do it again :) Title: Re: How many of the best selling albums ever do you own?

Bob Marley & The Wailers - Legend Norah Jones - Come Away With Me Prince & The Revolution - Purple Rain and i'm going to listen to rumours right now, great album Scary. Very much like mine. And yes, I played Rumours in the car on the way to work today. Title: Re: How many of the best selling albums ever do you own?

I bought 5 and my wife 8. Any list of albums that suggests my wife's taste in music is better than mine is just plain wrong. Title: Re: How many of the best selling albums ever do you own? Post by: yeo on Monday, February 8, 2010, 22:44:36 Ill expand
Oasis and Nirvana Though I do like Simon and Garfunkel and Blondie I dont own those paticular albums,ive probably got best of or something. Title: Re: How many of the best selling albums ever do you own? Post by: spacey on Monday, February 8, 2010, 22:59:22 no Buff Medways What is the meaning of this list?! I don't own any of that list. I used to have the Oasis one, but my dog chewed it up. I think he preferred Blur. Title: Re: How many of the best selling albums ever do you own?

nevermind - nirvana hybrid theory - Linkin park metallica - metallica legend - Bob Marley Title: Re: How many of the best selling albums ever do you own? Post by: jayohaitchenn on Tuesday, February 9, 2010, 11:54:58 13.
Title: Re: How many of the best selling albums ever do you own? Post by: Arriba on Tuesday, February 9, 2010, 14:41:53 14 from that list.
some absolute stinkers on there. i'm staggered at some of them. no hendrix,rolling stones or stevie wonder? Title: Re: How many of the best selling albums ever do you own? Post by: Spy on Tuesday, February 9, 2010, 14:54:18 I never knew Thriller has sold over double the number 2 best selling alum. :eek:
Title: Re: How many of the best selling albums ever do you own? Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, February 9, 2010, 15:38:50 Yeah, only after he snuffed it though.
Title: Re: How many of the best selling albums ever do you own? Post by: STFC_Gazza on Tuesday, February 9, 2010, 15:51:48 Yeah, only after he snuffed it though. Not necessarily true. When MJ died, most people bought "The Essential Michael Jackson" or HIStory as it had all his greatest hits and not just a selection. I would say Thriller was boosted though by the 25th anniversary re-release of the album in 2008 and the subsequent announcement he was going to perform at the 02 prior to his death so everyone would have already had Thriller who wanted it before his death really. Title: Re: How many of the best selling albums ever do you own? Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, February 9, 2010, 15:56:02 There was no factual reasoning to my post Gaz, but thanks for enlightening me :)
Title: Re: How many of the best selling albums ever do you own? Post by: STFC_Gazza on Tuesday, February 9, 2010, 16:06:40 ofcourse people will never really ever see sales like most of these albums again, now people can just download free off the internet etc. Surprised really no Eminem and no Christina Aguilera, 2-Pac or New Kids on the Block who I would consider bigger than say Usher on their day (not that I am a fan of any of those groups)although I guess as I just said due to the internet sales are likely a lot less as people could ahve downloaded most of their stuff (except NKOTB) free.
