In general, how much is a great album worth to you?
 

In other words, how much is a great album (in common cd format) worth to you? We're talking albums like London Calling, Beggar's Banquet, Low, Reign In Blood, OK Computer, In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, etc. $8? $12? $14?

Um, not **** because I can easily make a copy

I would spend about $100 to get the experience that a "top ten of all time album" gives me. I love finding stuff that almost changes the way you think about music.

Pretty sure I bought my copy of London Calling for about 10 bucks. :D

I'm with you. If I could have music exactly the way I wanted it, I would be willing to pay copious amounts of money.

Uh, probably around $10-12.

got Loveless cassette for 4 quid at a bargain bin

got Loveless pirated CD for RM5 - USD1.50

If it's an album I want, by a band that I enjoy, it's more about the experience than the price. So my answer? It changes.

Hmmm... If it's, like theuglyorgan says, a life-changing experience (and that only happens once in a few years) up to 40 bucks. Bare in mind; A CD costs about 25 bucks here anyway. Usually I try to stay under 20 bucks. I buy records moste of the time and they are a bit cheaper than CD's for some strange reasion.
Having said that; I would only spend 40 bucks on a record, never on a CD.

My priciest CD ever was about 28 bucks, being Des visages des figures by noir Désir. The record would be about 50 euro's which I think is insane. The CD wasn't available any cheaper, wherever. Then I got to the Lowlands festival and I found a pile of those CD's for 10 bucks :(

Well if it was a case of buy the album or you will never be able to hear it again sort of scenario then I think I would pay a lot of money.

Blood On The Tracks or Blonde on Blonde would probably be worth 2-300 euro to me!

most expensive was Dylan's Bootleg Series 1-3

about RM300 - USD120

for some life-changing experience, my limit's RM75 (single disc) - about USD20

Definitely wouldn't want to be without bood on the tracks!
That record cost me about 8 dollars back in 2003 :)

I would trade approximately three goats for a great album.

I bid you two camels and my daughter for Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires!

(I always find it hard keeping life stock in my wallet)

Did I just witness you mentioning an album from the 80s in a thread about great albums? I'm happy to see you coming around man. :)

I'll give up my sex partner Dolly the sheep for The Clash's Sandinista!

Well it doesn't really matter if the Dub is from 1973 or 1991, it's still Dub :D.

5000japanese yen is my maximum

gee how much would i think an album i really really like is worth?
