Natalie Merchant is my all time favorite female artist.

I had the absolute pleasure of watching her live last year. Nothing will compare again

If an album exists, like The Cure Greatest Hits, then it's allowed.

 

"Rules:

 

Must be a whole album, not just one song, but it can be a Best Of collection, like Creedence Clearwater Revival - The Premier Collection."

 

EDIT: Looks like there is a Best of Lloyd Cole, but not a Greatest Hits, so that one is disqualified.

Ha ha.. Fair enough

 

I'm not a big fan of greatest hits albums... A good album should be listened to like reading a book and tell a story.. That's lost with compilations

metallica - black

nirvana - in utero

U2 - joshua tree 

 

the Shadows- greatest hits

 

Over the last few months I have been drawn back to the whole Joshua Tree album, a mere 30 years after first hearing it. I rediscovered Red Hill Mining Town, which has the most moving lyrics:

 

We'll scorch the earth

Set fire to the sky

We stoop so low, to reach so high.

Google play (or any other equivalent)

 

R59 per month.

every album you ever wanted.

 

 

This thread is actually not becoming obsolete.

 

I signed up with this about 3 months ago.

Could download any album and then play in the car through BT.

so i got a whole bunch of albums that I own the CDs of but just can't play because

a)they're scratched - that 80's fallacy of CD's lasting forever......

b)they're lent out to long forgotten friends

c)lost/stolen

 

So ja, get going online, you won't regret it.

because if you really want to read the album notes you could find them online too

you'll be pleased to know they also "rediscovered" the album recently

took it on tour in 2017, and would play the album as it should be. from Where the streets have no name to Exit.
