Rules 1; It doesn't count if they've only made one record.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Monday, 12 May 2003 13:26 (twenty-two years ago)

"Layers" by Les McCann...I've always wondered what his other records sound like, but this is so perfect I don't want to wreck it in any shape or form.

― Erick H (Erick H), Monday, 12 May 2003 13:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Until recently, Songs:Ohia qualified.

Mogwai (Rock Action)
and I own <1 Will Oldham album, even though I love his stuff a lot.

― Sean@tangmonkey (Sean M), Monday, 12 May 2003 13:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Probably PJ Harvey. I have 4-Track Demos and a best-of mix CD a friend made me, but no other proper albums (even though I've heard most of them and really liked 'em).

I've only got "Love Is Dead" by Mr T Experience, but that album is so fucking amazingly brilliant in every single aspect possible, that I can't see how buying another album would help at all. Except I'll probably break down one day and get "... And The Women Who Love Them" of Amazon.

Meat Loaf probably doesn't count. Black Sabbath, Miles Davis, Debussy, Chopin, Almighty Trigger Happy (but that's the only one I've really liked).

I only own the Randy Newman best of . . . but it's FANTASTIC! I need more of this chap . . . I think Sail Away is my next port of call, but I'm not sure . . .

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 09:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Could have been Boo Radley had I not been stupid enough to purchase "Giant Steps" and "C'Mon Kids"

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 12:04 (twenty-two years ago)

unwound. i forget which one.

or blood, sweat and tears' greatest hits.
shyt. i'll get back to ya...

― praying mantis (praying mantis), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 17:13 (twenty-two years ago)

field mice, it's a double album though: "where's you learn to kiss that way"

― alex in mainhattan (alex63), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 18:32 (twenty-two years ago)

sorry, "where'd you learn to kiss that way" was the title of the compilation.

― alex in mainhattan (alex63), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 18:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Air - Moon Safari, amazing!

If greatest hits count: Duran Duran - Decade

― Séb, Tuesday, 13 May 2003 19:18 (twenty-two years ago)

roxy music and t rex.

― vahid (vahid), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 03:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Possibly Jackson Browne. I own only "Late For The Sky", which is an excellent album, but I have burned CD copies of three of his other 70s albums, after having borrowed them from the library.

Does that count?

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 11:04 (twenty-two years ago)

RE: Randy Newman- 13 Songs, Good Old Boys, and Sail Away are all equally essential. There's a live one from the same period ('70-'73 maybe?). His last studio effort (2000, i think) was quite listenable; his best in 20+ years. Go and see him live, if'n you get the chance.

― Will (will), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 12:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Le Tigre (doesn't seem like I'd want the second one), Eric Dolphy "Out There", Ornette Coleman "Town Hall 1962". Old jazz records are rare and expensive. "The Walker Brothers Story". Augustus Pablo "The Melodica Master". Mission of Burma "Forget". Al Green Greatest Hits Vols 1/2.

― jim wentworth (wench), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 02:03 (nineteen years ago)

If we're talking about the release, and not the band, then it's the second S/T Indigo Girls album for me. It's the only album of theirs that I like, and it's easily in my top 200 albums of all-time.

― nicky lo-fi (nicky lo-fi), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 17:07 (nineteen years ago)

― o. nate (onate), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 17:41 (nineteen years ago)

Ballboy. "A Guide For The Daylight Hours" is, like, almost my all-time fave mopey indie album, but the one after that got roundly dismissed by the ppl who'd reccomended me that one, and since I have total music ADD I never dug deeper. Did download a few tunes of theirs when I first installed slsk tho, they were good but too similiar to "A Guide...".

― Daniel_Rf (Daniel_Rf), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 17:59 (nineteen years ago)

But also: Husker Du, Al Green, Mogwai, Dinosaur Jr, Shuggie Otis.

― Offisa Pump (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 19:37 (nineteen years ago)

Me too for Sublime. I think I've owned all their albums at some point or another, but the only one I've not sold/thrown at a hobo is 40 Oz. to Freedom, which is still, like, totally kickass.

― mummy wrapped in bacon (nickalicious), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 19:41 (nineteen years ago)

I only "own" Vision Creation Newsum by The Boredoms, but I have a whole shit ton of other stuff on mp3 only...does that count?

― mummy wrapped in bacon (nickalicious), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 19:42 (nineteen years ago)
