    Default Rank a discography

    Use this thread to rank the discography of your favorite artists.
    When discovering new music I tend to start at the debut or the latest album. I would rather start with their best work. Would be a good resource. I will add some soon.

    Do you have any artists you would like input on specifically?

    when it's not hip-hop I often start out with a greatest hits comp, when I like it I then buy an extended greatest hits package (double CD) or a cheap box set (5 albums for $20 deals)

    I would be interested in your ranking of Prince albums.

    4, 2 and Physical Graffiti are the ones you want to listen to

    1, 2, 3, and 4 for this listener, in regards to Zeppelin. Maybe not so much 2 though. I forget what's what. But I did listen to them all again recently, n I think it was 2 that I wasn't so impressed by.

    I don't think I've heard an album post-4 besides Physical Graffiti and the only songs I remember off the top of my head are No Quarter and Achilles Last Stand.

    I like 2 a lot because it's probably their heaviest album so it suits my taste but yeah you can't really go wrong with 1-4 but I fuck with Physical Graffiti

    Yeah physical graffiti was good, just not as good as the earlier ones, for me. The ones after that were pretty average, although Achilles last stand is maybe my favourite zeppelin song.

    Guns N Roses

    1. Appetite For Destruction

    2. Live Era '87-'93 (official live double CD on Geffen, some overdubs, esp. vocal overdubs)

    3. Greatest Hits (one new track at the time, a cover of 'Sympathy for the devil')

    4. Use Your Illusion II

    5. Use Your Illusion I

    6. Lies (live + acoustic)

    7. Chinese Democracy (overproduced to death)

    8. The Many Faces of GNR (odds and ends compilation by a label that specializes in these releases)

    9. The Spaghetti Incident? (noble intentions, shit release)



    I find the 'Use Your Illusion' releases to be very uneven, there are some downright terrible songs on there


    I believe the Japanese version of 'Live Era' adds 'Coma', which is really almost an obligatory song for a live album

    Hal, how many CDs do u own? U seem to collect mass amounts across many different genres.

    It's gotta be a few thousand by now


    I mainly have albums in 80s pop, 40s and 50s pop, crooners, 50s jazz, French pop and rock, hardrock, progrock, classical music and hiphop


    in 2013 I only had my hiphop albums left, I'd sold everything else off for a trip (dumb move). 9 years later and I'm still buying back some of those albums, although by now I have 95% back of what I used to have AND IT FEELS GOOD lol


    the only genre I didn't buy back after 2013 was grunge, which I used to have a fair bit of


    I've been on a bit of a spending spree since the last week of June. Yesterday I had Yes, Supertramp and King Crimson compilations coming in. Right now I'm looking into buying some Marillion.


    Whenever the telly isn't playing I've always got music playing.

    That's fucking awesome, man. Do u own a house/apartment? I used to have a pretty big hip hop cd collection, but I sold most of it when I'd planned to go n travel n live on the road (before i got into a relationship, lolool).

    I sold a lot of my possessions.

    These days I'm terrified of accruing stuff because i only rent, and my future in general is uncertain (if i ever break up with my girlfriend, best believe i will most certainly still be hitting the road for an indefinite period of thyme).
