You have owned up to far worse misdemeanours than anything on that list! I bet it's Wilco.

Haha actually I have owned that Wilco album! Promo needless to say. I never listened to it and am not sure where it ended up.

Haha it IS Wilco. Bloody dreadful record it is too (although I quite liked some of their earlier stuff).

Actual list:

1975 - Bob Dylan & The Band - The Basement Tapes (listened to a couple of times but never got into)
1976 - Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life (owned out of sense of obligation at university, liked it, promptly lost it)
1977 - Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols (grebt)
1980 - The Clash - London Calling (also grebt)
1981 - The Clash - Sandinista! (k-rub)
1983 - Michael Jackson - Thriller (71% grebt)
1987 - Prince - Sign 'O' the Times (grebt)
1988 - Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back (grebt but never need to listen to it again)
1989 - De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising (suspect its quite annoying now)
1991 - Nirvana - Nevermind (still grebt, if unfashionable to admit so)
1994 - Hole - Live Through This (rub)
1995 - PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love (purchased alongside first pair of DMs)

2003 - OutKast - Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (somewhere under 50% good)
