Most of the Sonic Youth CDs I own I picked up from HMV in the mid-00s (including the first SYR EP). They seem to only stock the more popular releases though, nowadays.
I was obsessed as a teenager and within a couple of years went on a buying spree.
Now that my music collection and tastes are now so massive, I kind of miss the days when I was sort of able to focus on just one band and really absorb their work. But then again, I can't really complain about having loads of cool music to listen to most of the time.
