Virtually all in Europe. That's a sick amount when you consider he's a "myth in America" as the article describes.

And last year I only bought records by two artists on that list........
One of them was Robbie.

Ditto. The other one was the live Coldplay album.
Smackette bought a few more though, including the new Radiohead.

I'll bet y'all can guess which one I bought...though it was a used copy, of course.

Well, good guess...didn't see her on the list.
But nope, I bought her album the day it came out in 2002, saw her once prior to that for free at Millenium Stage, and a few months later at the 9:20 Club. All in 2002.
I should have tacked on "last year" as Markie did.

Full price, Rutherford!!!
That's quite a hefty endorsement.

I haven't bought anything on the list....although, I went to the S&G show, and got a free ticket to Pearl Jam....how does that count?
