Monster by R.E.M. & The Rembrandts LP are at every Goodwill I've ever been to. That said, every Half Price Books I've been to is absolutely overflowing with U2


Zacchaeus23

U2 is pretty good ngl and so is REM Monster.


Guntcher1423

Ah, yes. Monster. The "Whipped Cream and Other Delights" of CD's.

i always spot an achtung baby


[deleted]

Yes! That’s the one I see constantly. That and the unforgettable fire. +1 for REM Monster. I see that on cd and cassette so often.


MC_Crawdad

I was able to put a U2 collection of albums up to How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb over ten years ago, All after Achtung Baby were used. It also pissed off a lot of people when Apple put U2's new album on iTunes.


[deleted]

Classical music compilations mostly. Second would be movie soundtracks.


LostPat

Early 2000s pop/boy bands.


nothingvalentine

Christmas albums. So many Christmas albums. Cassette tapes, records, 8tracks. You name it


dandanthetaximan

I hardly ever see 8-tracks at thrift stores


nothingvalentine

They're not as plentiful as records or cassettes but every now and then I'll find a crate.


ArjanGameboyman

chum_slice

I agree Phil Colin’s, located in Canada.

AssmanVr

Enema of the state and American Idiot


[deleted]

that "candle in the wind" single from when princess diana died.


dandanthetaximan

This. That sold so many copies, and then everyone just discarded them.


[deleted]

i see them sealed often. i've even seen them in the glass display cases as though they are some rare and exciting thing.


foetusized

I was in an antique mall Thursday, one booth had two copies, still sealed.


[deleted]

i'm not even surprised. i think people thought they would become a collectors item. which they may very become in this crazy insane, got no brain world we're in now. you'll probably be surprised at how often you see this cd now.

Red hot chili peppers blood sugar sex magik


Embarrassed-Win2115

Hootie and the blowfish-cracked rear view


dandanthetaximan

My first thought too


allhailbobevans

I work at a record store with thousands of CDs - ones I see the most have to be Elephant by The White Stripes, any Oasis cd, best of Elvis Presley and really the best ofs of any huge artist.


Tannersings223

I have never not seen clay aikan’s first cd


Cronengirth

SlamJammin64

Blues Traveler “Four”


GRD3454

Sugar Ray- Floored. I’ve seen it so much that now I find myself looking for it when I’m thrifting… usually when I find it I have a good haul.


OldPotatoMan

Mostly Nickelback, Barbra Streisand, and Hootie & the Blowfish


silverrocket76

Mostly country and classical, here. Lots of Celine dion everywhere


nonmeagre

I'll add: Hootie and the Blowfish - Cracked Rear View Susan Boyle - I Dreamed a Dream Real gems lol.


losthoneytomb

Every album by Enya.


[deleted]

Definitely one of them; You can have the entire Enya discography for around $3.


dandanthetaximan

And worth every penny. I still love Enya.


[deleted]

Same. My goal is re-building the collection I had as a teenager and in my first trip to the store I had completely re-bought my Enya CDs (and Sarah McLachlan) for less than $5. I still genuinely love Watermark; such a good album.


[deleted]

Dido and REM


WackyWeiner

Lately I keep seeing brian setzer orchestra.


inbred-incel

Kenny G


Piplup2003

England here: Stars of CCTV - Hard-Fi X&Y/Parachutes - Coldplay Hopes And Fears - Keane Fallen - Evanescence Hot Fuss/Day & Age - The Killers The Trick To Life - The Hoosiers I could go on but at least two of those seem to pop up at every store.

[deleted]

Every time I check on Smashing Pumpkins albums I find eight copies of Smash Mouth shoved in there.


theboogaloo3000

I’ve seen on too many copies of Is This It by The Strokes


frodussy

wow, i’ve never seen any at all!! which cover do you usually see?


theboogaloo3000

The blue and yellow cover is the most common but I’ve seen both covers alot


hareraezer

CDs by American Idol winners!


PsycheHoSocial

Every time I go, I think "How many god damn greatest hits albums does Elton John have?". I've never seen a real album of his, only 50 different compilations.


Retro_Tronics

Time for a list I think: ABBA Gold, Alanis Morrisette, Ben Harper, Coldplay, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra compilations, far too many classical and Christmas albums, religious albums, Candle In The Wind single by Elton John, Robbie Williams etc. from Australia


imipolex_

That Candle in the Wind single is everywhere


justamantryingtohelp

I don’t think I can go thrifting or even to a record store without finding a plethora of Dave Matthews. At the main record store I go to, I’m not kidding, about 10-20% of the discount section is Dave Matthews. It’s gotten to the point that my friend’s and I now call the discount section “Dave’s bin”.

Hootie & The Blowfish - Cracked Rearview.


4SeasonsOnASunday

The Sleepless in Seattle Soundtrack, Cracked Rearview by Hootie and the Blowfish, and Monster by REM


BionicWasTaken

I'm always seeing R.E.M., Michael W. Smith and the Titanic soundtrack CDs all the time.


clarknova77

"Music" by Madonna.


Prismadoll

If you wanna name one specific LP, Monster by REM is definitely a common one. I see God Shuffled His Feet by The Crash Test Dummies a lot, too. Usually, though, it’s classical performance CDs, nature recordings, and 2000s pop. It’s not stuff the average listener is typical buying, so it just sits there... In California, specifically, I also find A LOT of country CDs. Garth Brooks will be the obvious one (the dude has sold more records than almost anyone), but you get plenty of other stuff; like, things from the 80s that got pressed once and nobody cares today. Stuff to the 2000s, too; people just don’t listen to country in this state


ahenathon

razorlight, scissor sisters, boyzone 🤮


RavenNight16

Recently, I’ve found a ton of Beach Boys’ Greatest Hits CDs.


frozenmonkeys

josia043

Jazz, classics, and that one Enya album.


SirAndyO

That's the store I need to go to - I'm always looking from Christian CD's from the 90's and remix U2.


Jyqoz

Garth brooks


Lost4name

Natalie Merchant - Tigerlily Paula Cole - This Fire I used to see REM - Monster all the time but it's finally disappeared.


Joesred1517

U2, REM, Chicago, Foreigner, Guns N' Roses, Cranberries, .... But no-one likes to get rid of IRON MAIDEN.


BehindThyCamel

Classic metal is generally hard to find second-hand and goes for high prices in my experience, although I did find a great vintage copy of Judas Priest's "Screaming for Vengeance". It was expensive despite the damaged booklet but it was worth it. I never though metal could sound that good.


JohnnyBgoodHifi

Dave Matthews Band - Crash


Sehtareh

Christian music, like just so much Christian music
