Albums that (practically) every girl you dated in College owned

Not relating to anyone I've ever dated per se, but my observation has generally been that it's mainly men who even bother to buy records. I've certainly never dated a woman with anything resembling a CD or LP collection.

Is collecting a predominantly a male preoccupation?

 

This was in Boston. Lots of New Joisey-ites around, though.

 

Fleetwood Mac. S/t
Jackson Browne Late For the Sky
Eagles One of these Nights
Boz Scaggs Silk Degrees
Joan Armatrading S/t
Bonnie Raitt Various
Abbey Road. Beatles

 

Is the Pope a Catholic?

 

You would have thought the dorm could have stockpiled 10 or so of them, and shared...more money left over for afghan shawls and gods-eyes for the windows...

 

Kim and Angie

 

Jewel - Pieces of You

 

Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes, Under the Pink and Boys for Pele.
Sara McLaughlin - Fumbling Toward Ecstasy

and, if they were in their ‘Exploratory’ phase, add Ani DeFranco and Indigo Girls.

 

Hootie and the Blowfish - Cracked Rearview
Counting Crows - August and Everything After (depending on whether or not they were English majors)

 

Pearl Jam - Ten (They seemed especially enamored with "Black.")

 

Anything by Damien Rice.

Naw baby. I just "don't" get it.

 

Oh god yes...Joan Armatrading S/T

 

THE GO-GO'S......GANG OF FOUR......JOY DIVISION......

 

I think Chrissie Hynde, though not a college girl, was also a bit obsessed w Joan.

 

I was in a relationship with one girl all thru college. Her album collection included along with many others:
Mott the Hoople
The Moody Blues
David Bowie
Boston
The Who
We alternated her and my albums while enjoying each other's company every evening.

 

ABBA Gold
The B-52’s Cosmic Thing

 

Of course they buy stuff. Probably don't get all "catalog" though. Probably more likely to cull, clear out or put away/store music they don't listen to anymore.

 

Gawd, for awhile there every college girl had a copy of JAGGED LITTLE PILL.

 

Or all three.

 

some Cure album probably

 

I own a number of these albums

 

Oozing ethnic diversity

 

There was this Four Non Blondes/"Evan Dando is my alt rock dreamboy" cult in my HS. I wonder when Jagged Little Pill album dropped in June 95 (when I graduated) the girls suddenly started recreating the "Isn't It Ironic" music video in their cars. Or moved on to Sarah McLachlan... the other next logical step.

 

Never went to college but when I was that age all the girls had Carol King~Tapestry
Oh and Carley Simon~No Secrets
