Thanks for the superficial Sarge, it just shows that you failed to comprehend what I wrote. 
Let me rephrase it-- listmaking threads reaffirm some of the posters' perception that music is about collecting shiny metal objects as a hobby.
That's nonsense.
Comparing your tops on a thread like this is much like comparing baseball cards. And yes it's also true that you can be passionate about baseball and collect baseball cards, but baseball fans differentiate between watching a game and collecting cards because they are different.
Your analogy makes no sense. Baseball cards aren't the game, that's true...but CDs ARE the music...it's how we listen to the music; it's how we hear many different interpretations of the music.
For the most part the music collection is what you listen to, they are too close together and you get confused as many here do and confuse passion for music with passion for collecting. They stop associating the music with the experience and start associating it with the purchases. That is not to say that they stop liking music!
No that is just to say that they driven by the compulsion to build and admire their collection more than they are driven to just simply listen to music.
Ridiculous argument. Telling people (via a list) which works of music you love somehow means that one is driven to build a collection, not listen to it? Huh???
Can you please tell me who exactly in this forum, which posters in this thread "build and admire their collection more than they are driven to just simply listen to music." Names please, and then explain how you know that. The only reason I've ever bought a CD is because I want to listen to it. It has no other purpose.
Your lack of comprehension of why people collect music or make lists appalls me...as does your curmudgeonly judgmental attitude. As Mark said, you used to be more fun.
