gotdablouse, this is totally off-topic but I've just been looking through your great HP1 pics, and I'm in at least one of them! If you look really closely . . .
Why thank you, stonesrule, although I have to confess that my prudent buying habits may have less to do with intelligence than with being possibly as big a cheapskate as Mick Jagger himself.
Yes, the Stones are my favorite band. When they were on top of their game they were the best in the business, and I was young. How can you beat that?
Who else? Well, back in the 70s I was big on a lot of stuff that I still like but don't feel the need to listen to much anymore. If I had to categorize it I'd say the stuff Creem magazine was pushing back then. Stuff like Bowie, Roxy Music, the Stooges, that kind of thing.
I've always really liked Neil Young, including his newer material. He's one of the few who never seems to run out of ideas.
As far as more (relatively) recent stuff goes, I'm a big fan of Stereolab.
I've ended up listening to jazz a lot. It's kind of fun not knowing anything at all about it. I can just go with what I like without worrying about what's supposed to be good.
looks like my preferences................

Probably not that much compared to the other people on this board. I've got most of their catalog. I don't have Got Live If You Want It, the last compilation I bought was Sucking in the Seventies, and I refuse to spend a fortune on the Brussels Affair deluxe set when all I want is the CDs. Otherwise, I've got it all, and I've seen them play live three or four times (never indoors, I suddenly realize), so they've gotten a few hundred bucks out of me over the years.

49 years of fandom, beginning in 1964 at age 4, entails buying the complete recorded works in multiple formats, tickets for 24 shows (1978-present), travel expenses, merch, etc. I've bought at least seven different copies of Exile over the years (three old vinyl editions, the original CDs, the '94 remaster, and the latest deluxe and super deluxe editions). So well into five figures, but no regrets.

Because of the value gained in music and memories, I couldn't place an actual monetary figure on it. So I'll say "just enough to make me happy".

blivet, delightful response!
Ah yes, the days of CREEM...we need it back. Although without Lester, who could possibly do justice to the likes of Miley, Kanye etc?
Like your attitude on jazz. It's great, isn't it, when you don't know what to expect and actually enjoy a gig.
Re Mick, despite the rumors here that he is a "cheapskate," in reality he is often a thoughtful and generous human being.

Probably about 20-25K on the most recent tour, including Tongue pit tickets to 5 of 6 shows, hotels, travel including roundtrip air to UK from Philly.

I listen to jazz now more than the stones...I wonder if it's an age thing?

It could be an age thing, I got up one day after decades of being a music fan and suddenly discovered that I "got" modern jazz, which had previously just sounded like noise. It was like a switch flipping, for no apparent reason. So then, O joy, a whole world of new stuff to listen to, though like blivet I know nothing about it except what I like.

That must mean that jazz musicians are born old.
Myself, I've always liked a bit of jazz now and again, even though I've never been old, as yet, and it's always gone particularly well on a Sunday morning.
Perhaps that means that I'm just an old soul, and that I'm at my oldest on Sundays before noon.... or something.

I have not read this thread.
I don't know what I have spent.
My answer is that I wish that I had spent more, much more. That I had been able to do that on certain occasions in the past. Because then I would have seen them more in live concerts.
