....but not got around to watching/listening to yet. So many to list. Band of Brothers box set. Had for 2-3 years and still not watched. It. Control (Joy Division) movie. Had for about 3 or 4 months and still not watched it.

Who has had an album or movie the longest that has still not been pleasured, and why?

I'll often pick up a handful of CDs in a charity shop/boot sale/whatever and rip them to my computer to be listened to 'at some point'. For example, today I added The Pixies' Surfer Rosa, an Embrace album and Moloko's Things to Make and Do.

...I currently have 6589 songs unlistened to in my iTunes folder. The oldest one has been there since 26/2/2008!

Just started watching Sharpe, which I've had for about 8 years.

Still have The Prisoner which I've had for over 10 years unopened

Back on topic, about 15 years ago I 'borrowed' the DVD of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon off one of my bros.

Once was enough as far as The Prisoner was concerned...

Oh dear.

Anyway. I loved the song Vienna by Ultravox. Being all grown up and not buying singles, I bought the album. Apart from the title track, I thought it was rubbish and have only played it once.
