Well, most any guitar music I kept ---Clapton, Vaughan, any blues of course, and anything that had a song or technique I admired on it.

Any hair band junk that didn't have a cool guitar part on it went. That was about 99% of them. Granted, most people don't take into account that a lot of those musicians were studio musicians with impeccable technique and abilities, but the songs were just soooo cheesy. Unfortunately it was either that, or Billy Ocean--ewwww. Course we had Metallica and such so not all was lost.

Like I said if it wasn't a classic (Stones, etc....,I hadn't listened to it in at least a year, and it was something that could be replaced later, out it went...

Now equipment is another matter. My main system until this fall was a 1978 Kenwood Integrated amp and same year tuner with a set of Polk Monitor 5B's. But after hearing the Stoetkit and other tube amps at Waynes, I have future plans for a tube system. Unfortunately, I don't make much money and with two kids it'll probably take me a year or so to just gather all the parts to build that 6EM7 amp.
