What are some singers/bands that you have everything or as close to everything as you can by? Name no more than ten. Here is mine
Elvis Presley James Brown Otis Redding Hank Williams Sr. Led Zeppelin Jimi Hendrix Robert Johnson Rolling Stones Johnny Cash Iron Maiden
Many more, but I have to follow my own rules.
Rush and Big Country were always my prime targets at the used record stores, and Duran Duran. Never felt I went wrong with any of them, even if I didn't care much for BC's stuff past The Seer (they changed their sound a lot).
I need to check out Big Country. Love Rush since I first heard them on an episode of Futurama. In the book Ready Player One one of the final quests involved his knowledge of Rush albums and music
The first Big Country album is phenomenal. They were a 'one hit wonder' with the song that everybody knows, but the rest of the album is so well-written and crafted.
It's also one of those racism-demolished albums. I bought it back in 1985, listened to it a million times, and only in 2021 did I realize that the bassist is not just black, but blackity-black. No one cared back then.
If you're in a Scottish mood, Simple Minds are way, way cooler than you think they are (unless you're a fan).
Gonna check it out this weekend
