NME have released their Top 50 Albums of the Decade and in the whole list I own...one.

TBH though, I think that could be said of any list of great albums NME could come up with...

Re: I'm getting old

I've got six - amazingly - but only listen to one of them (Johnny Cash - Man Comes Around) with any regularity, iTunes playlists aside.

And interestingly...the Johnny Cash is on vinyl!

Re: I'm getting old

I dont agree with a lot of the choices but I have 17 of them.

I turned 47 on Saturday and bought Them Crooked Vultures yesterday - as the cliche goes - you're as young as you feel.

Re: I'm getting old

Zero for me too. I doubt that many of my collection have ever been in the NME top 50.

I have 21 (but do have two copies of the number one entry).
