Latest Acquisitions

Here is a list of some of my latest musical acquisitions.

The Band~To Kingdom Come (The Definative Collection) The Band used to back Bob Dylan. I love The Band, not so much Dylan.
The Black Keys~Magic Potion album and a few other songs off other albums. I love this group. Absolutely intoxicating to listen to.
Bob Dylan~just one song, House of the Rising Sun. I'm not much of a Dylan fan but I heard him sing this accoustic version of HOTRS on VH1 Classic and had to have it. Very powerful stuff. The version on VH1 was better then the one I downloaded however.
Buffalo Springfield~single download~For What It's Worth~I love this hippy song.
Cat Stevens~Greatest Hits~I have this album on vinyl, just now replacing it.
Some single Collective Soul downloads to fill some holes in my CS collection~ Gel, Perfect Day, Why Pt. 2, Next Homecoming.
Creed~Greatest Hits album
Led Zeppelin~How the West Was Won~I debated about downloading this. I am a little disappointed. It sounds so uninspired and flat. I prefere TSRTS for a live album.
Lou Reed 3 tracks~Vicous, Perfect Day, Walk on the Wild Side. Wild Side I have on vinyl.
The Velvet Underground~Single track~Heroin
Oasis~Single Download~Champagne Supernova
Pink Floyd~I went a little download nuts with PF a couple weeks ago. I downloaded 3 albums~Meddle, Saucerful of Secrets and A Momentary Laps of Reason. Momentary Laps I have on vinyl and I practically wore it out when it first came out. I seen them at Mile High Stadium in Denver that same year.
Meddle is one hell of a album. If you love Floyd and don't have Meddle, you should.

R.E.M~Single download~Drive. I used to hate this band. I still hate some of their more popular stuff, like Everybody Hurts and Shiny Happy People and What's the Frequency Kenneth...bleck... but have recently opened my mind to other stuff of theirs and they are a pretty amazing band.
Robert Plant~2 single downloads~Burning Down One Side and Trouble Your Money. I also ordered Now and Zen on CD from a 3rd party for 24 cents. Should be here any day now. N&Z is a vinyl replacement.
Steve Miller 2 tracks~Abracadabra and Fly Like An Eagle. I have Steve Millers Greatest Hits on acetate.
Wolfmother~Single dl~Joker and the Thief. Not a big fan of this group, but this song is alright.

Tell me what your recent music aquisitions are.
Please no hate mail for any of the above you don't like.
