I have eight Carpenters tracks, counting the entire “Yesterday Once More” medley from Now & Then as one.

Wait?! Enya CDs have been sold to people who are NOT aestheticians, physical therapists and dentists? ‘Cause those are the only place I’ve heard her. And there she is ubiquitous.

Apart from the “your sperm’s in the gutter” line, I wouldn’t qualify Thick As A Brick as an embarrassing song. I have an album’s worth of Carpenters amid the angry rock on my device.

My official position is that the only people to be embarrassed by what’s in my MP3 collection are the people who don’t like what I’m listening to.

I have Thick as a Brick on LP and Tubular Bells on CD and in iTunes.

I don’t have any Enya–I have lots and lots of Clannad, a group made up of Enya’s cousins. Enya’s the black sheep of the family in comparison to Clannad.

Most embarrassing things on iTunes? There’s a few guilty pleasures in there:
- “Frontier Psychiatrist” by the Avalanches
- the samba version of “Smoke on the Water” by Senior Coconut and His Orchestra
- “No Anchovies Please”
- Paris Hilton’s “hit” single
- a musical tribute to the AMC Pacer
- “Dragostea din tei” (the “Numa-Numa” song)
- the Vietnamese-language techno-dance cover version of “Dragostea din tei,”
- and last, but certainly not least, the rap theme from the German cop show “Alarm fuer Cobra 11.”

I have two of the six complete albums you listed (3 and 5); I have no classical and no Enya whatsoever. I also have a large iTunes install. There are 8237 tracks. Most of mine are the full album, though. Some tracks I like, some I don’t. I often just start it up on random and listen to whatever comes up, like it or not.
