Albums I've Never Owned

 

This list has been nagging at the back of my head for a while, so it's probably best to let it out. These are albums I've never owned in any complete form in any format. I don't offer the list here as some stupid expression of tone-deaf hipsterism; for right or wrong, they're just albums I never got around to adding to my collection. 

I like some of these (even without ever liking them enough to purchase them), and I suspect I'd like a few others. I'm sure some aren't for me, and I know for a fact that some are emphatically not my cuppa at all.

The list doesn't differentiate. The list is just the list.
