I think you probably have the best CD collection on the planet. It sure beats my 2,200 CD collection. Everyone who personally knows me is blown away by the size of my collection. They'd probably faint if they saw your collection. 💿💿💿💿💿💿 😃

I love that i stumbled on to your channel couple years back. I don't know too many who collect cds the way i do. Got around 4000 now. Love that we all share the passion 💿💿🎶🎶

I probably have about 1000 and I wish i could get rid of some, I just can't decide which. The thing I've learned is the more you have the less time you have to spend with each album and give it the attention it deserves. I have CDs I haven't listened to in years because of this.

Amazing collection! The rock section alone is just such a fantastic showcase for the range of musical styles that make up the genre. The most eclectic music collection I’ve ever seen. Thank you for the videos!

dude, your collection is simply epic!!!

To have a whole big room just for CD's is so great. I have a wife and a daughter and just don't have the room for my 1500 CD's and 700 books, that's why I have to store all of it in the cellar. But as soon as my daughter moves out (she is 17 already😄) I will finally have my own library and music room. Our favourite hobbies should not be banned to the cellar.

incredible collection Brendon. and great taste in tunes . my hats off to you! that's amazing...

Awesome collection. I am near 6000 cds, all rock and metal. A long way till i reach 12000 😂! Cheers Brendon 🍻.

Great video Brendon. Stunning collection, absolutely stunning. And my wife complains about by 1700 CD's! Ha, keep collecting dude and keep the videos coming. Cheers!

thats an amazing collection to have if the internet drops off for a while, thx for showing

Wow I'm very impressed. You have a huge collection unlimited music man. This is awesomeness!

Hi Brendon: Incredible collection! 😃👍. I have about 3100 CDs right now, including boxed sets. I began collecting CDs in the early 1990s while letting go of most of my vinyl and cassettes. In the late 1990s through today, I returned to collecting vinyl. In recent years, I began to collect cassettes when I could find them in nice condition. I also have nearly 1700 movies on 4K, Blu-Ray and DVD. Loads of entertainment for me! ☀🌴🌊. Rock Always! - Heather

Beautiful collection and very well organized 👌🐸

Amazing collection Brendon! I usually never get rid of CDs, but you've inspired me to curate my collection a bit. I started with getting rid of duplicates that I did get in large collections and have no idea why I kept them...

This dude is really fucking proud of his excess and flaunts it without the slightest hint of shame 😄

Amazing collection! I've only reached 300 CD's so far, but I got a feeling that I might also need a separate room for this hobby soon😅

What a beautiful thing.. great collection

I got a buddy who has an over 10K vinyl collection, fills his little house. Your place and his look like a music store. Nice collection by the way.

Fabulous collection Brendon… & being a collector myself it’s always fascinating to see how other collectors store their large collections! Thanks for sharing it with us… & you’ve somewhat inspired me to think about making a video like this for my channel now! Take care my friend!🤘🏻

A wonderful collection - I have around 4000 cds and I have always found that the best way to keep track of them is to have them in alphabetical order. When you start putting band related cds, i find it very difficult to decide where some would go, since (esp today) musicians tend to have many bands throughout their career.

Hey Brendon, what a great collection! It's like being in a music museum! Cheers!

Loved it when you pulled out the Gene Loves Jezebel CD - one of my fav bands. Great collection!

Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing this with us. I've been pulling out some of my albums and it's fun remembering what I have. Have a great weekend B

Please do more vids like this... fantastic to see all this rare stuff... love your channel

Amazing collection. Really interesting to see what's in it. Those Cure and Journey albums are 👌choices. Great video!

Damn I thought my collection was up there. I don't know why cd's are not very popular these days even though vinyl made quite the comeback. I still play my cd's all the time. CD's forever!

I love the dedication you've put into your CD collection! You've got some great stuff! Now I want to play Def Leppard's 'Retro Active' (1993)!

I have 2500 CDs in my collection [Embarrassing compared to Yours] and I love it. Yours is Dynamic & you should be proud.

I have 10,xxx audio files on my computer, and everyday I have trouble picking what to listen to 😅😅 great collection you have there, by the way 👍

Amazing collection. You should consider ripping it all so you can play it easier.

Hello Brendon! Your collection is amazing! In this age of streaming, it's important to show that a physical collection is NOT a thing of the past. Thank you! Rick

There are many channels dedicated to collecting records but very few channels about CD's. I collect both but I buy mainly CD's nowadays due to skyrocketing prices!!

Always amazed at your collection Brendan! Great organization and condition of the cds are pristine! I just alphabetized my entire collection(took about a month). I’m sitting with 8200+ CDs not including the BoxSets!

Incredible collection sir , cds are great

How do you listen to them. Mind blowing. I only have 800. Enjoy your videos. I’m from Australia.

That was so awesome. I could spend all day looking through your collection. It would be heaven.! Liked seeing some of your rarities

great collection.. I have a pretty large collection of basically jazz music.. I've been concentrating on Box Sets lately..

Congratulations, amazing collection , Def Leppard - Hysteria is one of my favorite albums of all time 😲

An impressive metal and mainstream rock collection! Would like to see other music genres in your collection, such as hardcore punk and UK punk, classic country, film scores, reggae, soul, folk, jazz and blues, to name just a few types of musical genres.

Congratulations! You have an incredible collection of music.

Hi, I've been buying CD'S since '84 and have amassed about 2,000. Due to space constraints I've ditched all the jewel cases and now keep the CD'S and Booklets in SLAPPA CD flight cases which are great as you can flip through them like reading a book, 6 to a page. As I'm also very much into hifi, I'd be very interested in the kit you use when listening to your collection. Love your enthusiasm, best wishes from the UK 😊😊

To enjoy such a collection to the fullest, one should have several lives.

I hope you have some insurance coverage for all your 12,000 CDs just in case something bad happens. You can’t be never be too careful about it ,saying it out of concern.

Great collection!! 👌🤘 Next time boxsets that you have on the top shelfs... 😉

I currently have 775 cd's in my collection. I really enjoy it. I listen to 1 or 2 complete cds each night.

That’s a pretty big collection, man… have you listened to all of them? I love your cd shelfs. I have about 3000 cd and a couple of hundred LP’s. I’ve sold my whole collection twice before, and that i regret. Cool t-shirt.

Impressive collection! I'm from Canada and I'd never heard of Moxy, although apparently AC/DC opened for them in 1977.

I would love to see an Ameoba "what's in my bag" Brendon Snyder Edition. It would be an hour long and FANTASTIC!!

Great to see u have exodus and testament and overkill Do u have bands like Treat , tank , raven and warfare

An awesome collection... love the variety. I'm envious of that shelving. Like you I have a vast variety of arists. I'm in the 10,00 range. It's nice to see someone who loves music and the collecting aspect. My family thinks I'm nuts 😂. Thanks for sharing.

That is a wild collection my man. Glad to see there are music collectors out there still! I myself am slowly building my vinyl collection. I have about 75 so far. Keep up the great work dude!

To think how much bigger my retirement fund could be right now had I not purchased so many CDs over the years…and I don’t regret it one bit!!!

awesome Brendon, thanks for sharing

Wow what an amazing collection of music, 😱 you probably have more CDs under one roof than any music store. I'm guessing. Interesting Robert Palmer CDs not to be confused with Robert Plant .

It's an amazing collection Brendon, but how do you remember it all? Do you ever inadvertently duplicates? Fascinating video. It's brilliant you put a different one out every day. Always look forward to them. Its a lot of work for you & I for one appreciate your efforts. I'm a long time viewer & remember the 'wall of wonder'😊. Thanks

amazing collection and that Michael Bolton album is indeed killer!

Hey Brendon- great to see Midnight Oil and Colin Hay getting some airtime on your channel. Two legendary artists from Oz. You've made me proud. What a collection but, how often / how do you play them all? Cheers from Oz

Impressive collection. 🤘😎🤘

I have somewhere around 10,000 , mainly Studio albums from 20th Century. Not easy to find 70s Studio albums on cds. Best part is it's ALL completely financed through reselling. I only buy like 5-10 a year off the internet, more fun finding in the wild

Amazing collection! I of course love the same types of music as you, so its easy for me to watch all your videos. As to how you display your collection, that closet would drive my CRAZY. Especially those white boxes stacked on top of one another. I dont see any labels on them telling you whats in them. How do you know? From memory? Also, if something is in a box at the bottom, you have to unstack 10-12 boxes just to get to it.. WOW...to much for me...I would find a way to make space to display them all...

"If there was a fifth band in the Big Four, it should be Overkill" : I couldn't agree more ! It seems that they've never done a bad album. And their recent works are so good. Thank you Brendon for showing us so precisely what stands on these shelves we see in the background of all your videos.

One word: Awesome!!!! 👍🤘🔥

Just wow! Best wishes from Russia!

Some 3 cd's a day and then you will have listened to all of them in a little over 10 years. 👍 I have some 5500 cd's.....but have other interests, so there's like 55 000 comics (no typo), 6000 dvd/blurays (amazing, they actually bypassed the music cd's), 2000 games and 1500 books.

Great to hear EZO get a shout-out. One of the greatest forgotten bands.

I love your box sets - have you done a video on those alone?

I would love to see you go through your box of RATT stuff. They are my favorite band from the 80s.🤩

Hey Brendon, can you do video on out of print cd’s or the very rare ones?

I’m impressed the way you lift the 90 CD box like it’s lighter than a feather 😂

I don't wanna toot my own horn, not one to brag, but I've got Brendon beat with my 13,000 parking ticket collection.

Inspiring video. I wonder if you pay much attention to the Dynamic Range thing for different versions of the same album? For instance Buggles Age of Plastic was originally released on CD in 1987, then re-issued in 2000. The original commands three times the price, presumably because the DR Database indicates a greater dynamic range for this disc and is therefore the audiophile's version of choice!

It's interesting how different music fans can have large collections with limited overlap. I have 10,500 or so, but almost nothing in the metal genre for example.

Incredibile collection man....I have more than 1000 CD but only by legendary Scorpions....

Im at about 8000. Still aways to go to catch you. In my mid 50s, searching for CDs is still my favorite thing to do

Fantastic collection. Wow. ❤

Very impressive collection! I do have some questions, purely out of curiosity : 1. I was impressed to hear mention of bands like Keel and Sword, and even W.A.S.P. from your box storage, but I did not hear any mention of Kind Diamond / Mercyful Fate, Venom, or Type O Negative / Carnivore - I started to think you pretty much collected everything, but you mentioned drawing the line at the extreme/death metal stuff (I'm not big on it either - love the music, but not the guttural/demonic vocals), so I wonder if those bands I mentioned made it into your collection? 2. You mentioned you prefer to sort by genre, and it appears you also seem to sort alphabetically - how strict are you with alphabetical sorting, and do you observe the standard sorting of "solo" artists by their surname? After discovering some artists' names can sound like band names (i.e. King Diamond, Meat Loaf, etc), I gave up trying to do that and now everything and everyone is sorted by the fist letter of their name - including bands that start with "The" (those go under T - yep, that's a big section, lol). I was also nudged into that direction due to how my music on the computer gets sorted (by artist/band), s o figured I may as well remain consistent outside of the digital realm, IRL. 3. Again with sorting, do you sort bands whose name start with numbers in any particular way? Like, do names with digits get sorted differently from bands who spell out the number? 4. Have you ever encountered a conflict in sorting where an artist or band could theoretically fit into more than one genre or category, and how do you reconcile that dilemma? These may sound like silly questions, but I've faced these decisions myself and so I am curious how other people with BIG collections, especially ones as massive and extensive as yours, tend to go about sorting and sub-sorting. Cheers!

Your mention of Michael Bolton totally reminded me of one his songs that’s played during the frat scene in the Rodney Dangerfield movie, Back to School! Everybody’s Crazy! Pre-Shazam, I had a heckuva time figuring who that was! I assumed it was some 80’s glam metal band, never in my mind would I have guessed that it was Michael Bolton! That song rocks!

Municipal Waste, now that is a fitting name for a heavy metal band. A fascinating mix of all kinds of music, which is pretty cool. I really dig your system of organization, as well.

Awesome! Keep on collecting :)

nice G&L rampage bro I have the same but made in late 90s

Brendon, I've got an idea 💡 for you. After watching this video, I thought. It would be great if you took a genre, artist or band that you have in your collection and recommend to us similar bands that have the same style or sound. 🎉👍... Cheers from 🇨🇦.

Wow. I only have around half that many. I've gone back to buying vinyl only, for Black Metal only. Everything else is online for listening. I wish I could sell my cd collection, except for a couple hundred black and death metal cds.

My OCD kicks in when he shows the ones with cracks. I can't stand those, I change those. LOL!😆

A friend of mine had about 30,000 cds almost twenty years ago so goodness knows how large his collection is now!

Cool, you pulled out my favorite album of all time, PERMANENT VACATION (1987) Aerosmith

I understand separating genres with a collection the size of yours. It would drive me crazy to have have my collection split with your main wall. Do you often switch out the main wall with main shelf or do you have doubles.

I know I told you before, but this an impressive collection. Amazed you know what you have. Thank you for sharing this with us. I didn’t realize Joe Lynn Turner was on so many albums. I’ll have to look for them.

Even as a death metal head I have to say: hats off!!!! :-)

Hey Brendon, it's always so fun and entertaining to watch your videos. I've got a question, have you ever wondered what will be of your massive collection when you are in your 80s?? Think that there will come a time when you decide to downsize?

I did have many of the 80's rock and metal on tape that you have in your collection,but i've been selling(900+ titles) via a friend since late 2022 and suprised what people pay for them. My cd collection is also being streamlined but notvon such a scale as tapes very hard to decide what goes,lots of Euro Metal definitely stays!

My heroes! Long live the CD!

You have so many CDs that you may need to consider load spreading plates under the cabinets 😂

Great collection brendon

Boxes are a good idea as you can store and access them easily.

Nice collection. I still enjoy buying CDs but have never counted how many I have. Some are at my condominium, and some are at my parents house. I’ve slowed down my buying quite a bit due to space limitations and am very selective with what I buy now.

DAYUM!! I thought I had an impressive collection, but I think I am just under, or maybe just above a thousand discs/titles (not counting WAV files downloaded/obtained online).

Hey Brandon you've always had a impressive collection been following you for awhile now.Since you have gone over your collection have you ever thought about goin over your sound system that you have and are you into hifi stuff for amping up your system as in dacs,Certain speaker set up,type of speakers you own,cd system etc

I get why you don’t, but I count box sets if they’re studio discographies, such as my BÖC and JP discography boxes.

Amazing CD collection Brendon 👍 I have alot but not 12,000 worth 😆

I have 4000 or so. Took forever to import them and store them all on external hard drives. I would never get rid of my CDs though. Love collecting, the artwork, and I too am somewhat of a completist.
