These acts trigger memories of would-be stars, patchouli and blown speakers

from How We Heard It · host howweheardit

The more music you collect - digitally, physically or in a combination - the more you have to keep up with. And let's face it: Most of us aren't as organized as we'd like to be. So if you just keep accumulating music and the years keep rolling by, you can easily lose track of your collection and get disconnected from your memories. This week on "How We Heard It," your hosts take another dive into their collections and turn up near-forgotten acts ... and even completely forgotten acts (who even were those people?). This episode brings up everyone from Jethro Tull to Britney Spears, Mott the Hoople to Beck, Blondie to Radiohead and The Roches to Daft Punk.  Meanwhile, the music your hosts found this week prompts impromptu conversations about how collectibles often just end up gathering dust, collaborations between stars can go terribly wrong, and tribute artists can sound better than the original artists. And what's up with all the "greatest hits" collections from one-hit wonders? If you haven't looked over your collection in a while, maybe it's time to take a nostalgia trip.
