holy fuck pat

...well
luckily there's a bunch i've listened to in that list so it cuts it down a bit, haha

 

Greatest Hits is NOT fine for Thin Lizzy. Jailbreak or Bad Reputation. Jeeze.

Edit:
And Creedence is even worse!!

I am morally opposed to your opinions Pat.

 

trying to avoid greatest hits unless i need to over the albums but maybe i'll get to those eventually lol

 

Pat got exhaustive

 

Honestly every single band he gave you a greatest hits for has an album or two worth listening to in full.

 

The only time a greatest hits album was a good place to start was when I got into bjork

 

Or artist that pre-date proper albums.

 

bjork's an interesting one to have a greatest hits album be the one get you into her, since her albums are all very cohesive, separate works of art, hah.

 

There's too many tho

 

not as bad as some artists hahaha. feel like you gotta at least do the first three in order
post is my favorite, that record blew my mind when i first gave it a real listen, my old roommate is a huge bjork stan so that was what convinced me.

 

The Byrds - Sweetheart of the Rodeo

 

okay love deluxe is insanely good, wow. definitely my favorite of the five so far. that record coming out in 1992 is wild. also interesting how it seems like it was pretty panned when it first came out

 

Wave and A Tabua de Esmeralda are fucking masterpieces so I need to hear this 3rd one ASAP.

 

Also backing any and all Big Star recs from Pat or Chris or whoever it was

 

Just jumping in to say that for Pavement, and as far as greatest hits goes their Quarantine the Past is perfect. I started there, and now I'm a huge fan of there's.

 

I'm so pumped you're into this haha. Just an insanely beautiful record, I also had no clue it was panned at first, can't imagine why

 

Casey I have made 2 threads about "old music" please consult them

 

Also listen to Mingus

 

Ah Um...

 

You have?
