That's not to say I don't think bands suck, there are plenty of artists (some of which I enjoy thoroughly) which I will readily admit are horrible.

But all of that aside, my collection stopped being about personal taste ages ago. It's now more of a...music preservation project. So much music slips through the cracks over the years, and, as decades pass, will be lost forever.

I download as much as I can, organize it all meticulously, and add it to my ~musical time capsule~. I do run my library on shuffle 90% of the time though, so I end up hearing a LOT of what I have. I actually did some rough math the other day and figured out that I've listened to approximately 70% of the artists on my computer, which is no small feat when you consider I have somewhere in the realm of 10,000 unique artists on my hard drive.

I literally am kept awake at night sometimes thinking about all the music I'll never be able to get to, that will forever be lost, ten or twenty years from now.
