I'm enjoying wal-mart's selection in CD's

[The Hand That Fisted Everyone]

Living in a small town, you can barely get some decent purchases. The only place that you can get CD's around here is Wal-Mart (you could drive to greeneville, but that's like an hour away, and the good record shops are always hard to find.) However, while perusing the cd aisle I found some pretty cool ones.

Highway 61 revisited - Bob Dylan (11$, not bad)
O.K. Computer - Radiohead (9$, still not bad)
Binaural - Pearl Jam (5$, a fucking steal)

I've been listening to O.K. Computer in the car, and it's great. So are the other two, but I've spent more time with the Radiohead.

Fitter Happier is awesome.

anyways, discuss surprising finds of music or movies or whatever.

Buy? what is an "buy"?

[strongbad]

Buy? what is an "buy"?

I am also unfamiliar to this term.

[Hiro]

He never even said that word you fuckwads

....Really?

Wal Marts CD selection is absolute shit...all they have is the most mainstream music imaginable.

I've found FYE has probably the best selection. Or best Buy, depending on the location. One Best Buy by me has an amazing selection while the other is horrible.

I still prefer Half.com over any store though.

Don't get me wrong, a majority of it is complete shit. You'll still find some good stuff though. Best Buy is the best chain store to get music, but even they don't carry some albums and some artist's altogether get left out.

But, I've been looking and wal-mart has a pretty good selection (mine has the beatles white album, which will be my next purchase probably). It's at least worth a shot to go and browse through. Mine has a bunch of Simon and Garfunkle live performances and I think all of Led Zeppelin's studio albums.

I only don't like how they censor CDs. They have a decent selection though.

well yea, those are incredibly mainstream

If you are looking for anything slightly less popular than normal, chances are Wal Mart doesn't have it.

[sans culottes]

A lot of the greatest music ever created is considered mainstream.

I have never been to Walmart and I hope to keep it that way. If there is a locally owned and operated record store in your area, support the hell out of it. Otherwise, just order everything from Amazon.

[Samus Aran]

Uh, Wal-Mart has a terrible selection, I dunno what you're talking about. I just buy all my music online. There's really no better way to get it around here...but when I'm in California I buy from Dimple Records stores all the time.

[Hiro]

I have never been to Walmart

[Placebo Headwound]

I've never been to one either.

But then again, I'm pretty sure there aren't any in NYC.

[Classic]

It's because they have everything better.

All we have in the south is Wal Mart. :[
