Rarer catalogue albums from popular artists can fetch a pretty penny on eBay. You know a big artist who had an album that sold poorly so there aren't many copies about. Now those albums can be worth quite a bit. Anything Australian from the 80s sells quite a lot locally. Bands like Uncanny X Men, Painters and Dockers, Models. That second and third tier acts that maybe didn't press many cds. I have seen a Brian Mannix cd go for over $3000 on ebay.

Someone must have hated the Casanovas album something fierce! 😄

Goes without saying 😀

I still hunt on ebay. I wish discogs were an option too but postage is a killer on that site. My wife just sent me photos of hundreds of spines of cds in a thrift shop she was at. There were 50c each and all mint. Obviously an estate collection of someone who just died. 99% classical shit. I don't know classical so have no idea if any were valuable. So didn't bother.

I'm the same as you. My tastes are broad. HH might be my favourite genre but it certainly isn't the only stuff I listen to or buy. I miss the days of dedicated second hand CD stores. The sad irony of not being aware you were living in the glory days of physical media when they were happening.

Not a bad haul that at all!

Electric Mob - 2 Make U Cry & Dance Electric Mob - Discharge Dirty Honey - Can't Find the Brakes (pre-order) Scorpions - Hour 1 Harlot - We are Harlot Queen - Queen II (Remaster) Iggy Pop - Brick by Brick The Cure - Pornography (Remaster) The Cure - The Top (Remaster) The Smiths - Louder than Bombs The Smiths - The World Won't Listen The Smiths - Hatful of Hollow The Smiths - Rank The Smiths - Meat is Murder The Smiths - The Smiths The Smiths - Strangeways, Here We Come The Tears - Here Come the Tears

Travesty. That sucks big time.

Apparently if you get your post total up to 5000 you get access to the hidden, naughty threads. But it takes a real dedicated poster to get up to 5000 posts.

I think their later era stuff is underrated. I especially don't know why ATBPO was overlooked. Maybe everyone wants another Sister Christian? But bands are lucky to have just one song like that in their career. Many don't even get the one.

I've got it and love it but I think the more recent releases are superior. It's a close call though.

For a treat for her I took my missus to every op shop between Tarcutta to Cowra cause she loves them. I had faint hopes of any having a CD or two. But lo and behold in Cowra today I found a mint 1985 CD copy of Metal Heart by Accept for $1. I am stoked! Anyone else found a bargain recently?

I'm with you on that.

Has anyone seen NYOilers and Glenn in the same room at the same time? I reckon they are the one person. It's a conspiracy!

You could just stick to albums released in the 2020s and even that would be really valuable to the site. A lot of the newer albums have zero to few comments on them.

Yeah Harem Scarem are good but I agree. Just today I was listening to a live album of theirs and every time they did a track from Mood Swings it just reinforced how that album was just something else. Really next level. It really does not ever get better than that album. A benchmark for the genre IMO.

I feel a bit sad seeing these older threads from over a decade ago when there were so many people active whom I have never conversed with. It must be way worse for all you old timers with people you used to post with no longer "speaking". And now there are like about 20 frequent posters here, that's all. There's about the same over on the main site writing regular reviews but they don't seem to come here, or if they do they have different names.

Pretty much none other, but Treat are pretty close too I reckon. There must be others but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

I'd like to see a The Final Countdown epic medley as encore starting with the acoustic version then melding into the original classic and finalising in the truly despicable 2000 dance remix. Just because.

Styx - Caught in the Act Live Steve Camp - Fire and Ice Queen - Queen (Remaster) Golden Grass - Absolutely Electric Light Orchestra - No Answer Eldrich - Headquake Howling Bells - Radio Wars Cracker - Cracker The Smiths - The Queen is Dead Suede - Coming Up Suede - Sci-Fi Lullabies Bernard Butler - People Move On

Love em or hate em but Blink 182 bring out the best in nostalgic memories for the HH forum.

I'm gonna go with Def Leppard. Just the idea of the Leps playing my birthday in my backyard appeals to me.

How old are you Karpet? I thought that was just some random old guru as your avatar, but is it really a picture of you?

Far out they actually do look like the rock stars mentioned! 😀
