From rock to roots and jazz to J-pop, the choice of music stores to choose from in this city simply Towers above other places. So which shop's best? People spend so much on CDs here it's Virgin on the ridiculous. Tell us: how much exactly? And with such a mind-boggling selection of discs around, when you have to choose, which one's it gonna HMV?
