A-Z CDs - Day 43

A slow day.
358. Prince - The Hits 1 (last listen: 2-5 years) - Unfortunately, Prince's greatest hits are divided into 2 CDs, so this one's missing some good ones ("Purple Rain," "Little Red Corvette," "Raspberry Beret," and "Sex MF" to name a few).
359. Prodigy - The Fat of the Land (last listen: 5+ years) - "Firestarter," "Breathe," and "Smack My Bitch Up" make this little techno ditty worthwhile. And there's a funny looking little crab on the album cover.
360. Puff Daddy & The Family - No Way Out (last listen: 5+ years) - It really is all about the Benjamins.
361. Pulp Fiction (soundtrack) (last listen: 1-2 years) -
362. Queen - Greatest Hits (last listen: 1-2 years) - "Fat Bottomed Girls" is one of my favorite songs of all-time. In addition to that wonderful song, this album contains nearly all of their hits: "We Will Rock You," "We Are the Champions," "Another One Bites the Dust," "You're My Best Friend," "Killer Queen," "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," "I Want to Break Free," etc. "Bicycle Race" is an underappreciated Queen song. The only gripe is no "Bohemian Rhapsody." What the?
363. Quicksilver Messenger Service - The Best Of (last listen: 2-5 years) - I bought this having never heard anything by this band, but just knowing they were a staple of the late '60s San Francisco psychedelic scene. It's okay, but I would definitely go with early Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Santana, or Moby Grape instead.

are you almost done with the CD's already?

Well, the position in the alphabet should indicate that I am not almost done. There is still R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z, and then the compilation CDs. It should be another couple weeks.
