CDs I Have Too Many Of

There are some bands I own lots of CDs of whom I regularly listen to (The Beatles, Steve Earle, Insane Clown Posse...) And there are those I do not listen to anymore but am still happy I own b/c it reminds me of a time that I did listen to them a lot (Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and, I have to admit, Phish). But then there are those certain bands who for some unknown reason you have multiple CDs of but it's hard to explain why. Here are 3 of mine

1. Beck
All I should own of Beck is Odelay. But somehow I find myself with about 5 of his CDs. What gives? I think I'm just a sucker for sucker critics who always says seem to fall in love with his latest. But of the last three I've bought (the 3 most recent), each one had some good songs, but failed to maintain itself for a whole album. And, even if I didn't dislike any of them, I never I find myself putting them on.

2. Gorrillaz
I own 3 Gorrillaz albums even though they've only put out 2 albums (wife's plus two of mine). I actually like the Gorrillaz, but this seems like way too many CDs for a band I probably should have just downloaded the main singles from (Clint Eastwood and Feel Good Inc.).

3. Seu Jorge
What is it with me and Seu Jorge? First, I randomly listened to his CD at Everday Music and got it. Then, I found out he was the guy who sang the Portugese David Bowie songs and got that as well. AND THEN, for Christmas, my brother-in-law got me another of his albums b/c we had bonded over the (incredible) movie City of God. I like all of them fine, but 3 Seu Jorge albums? I must have the biggest collection this side of Brazil. Seriously, do you think you will meet another Oregonian in your life with 3???

What about all your Britney Spear's bootlegs?

And Phish. I am speechless. I've known you for HOW LONG and you've been hiding this. I guess I would to if I had bad enough taste or smoked enough weed to like a jam band (sorry but jam bands really suck, IMO)
