Sounds versus songs
I received a very generous donation of several (more like 200) CDs recently. It seems for some, CDs are a total waste of space when you can digitize everything - one man's trash and all that. So, I've been working my way through them to see what I'll save and what I'll pass on to others - the remainder to trade I suppose. My listening and choosing helps emphasize something I've known about myself for quite awhile: I'm totally into sound over song. The production on those classic INXS albums is ridiculous. It also helps explain why I never really got into Dylan yet think little synth blips pinging around in surround sound is a reason to get Depeche Mode's Violator on SACD. And maybe why I will defend the 80s as a decade anytime anyone writes it off.
