No, not really.

More than half their albums are either terrible or just plain average.

Hmm.. if you look at the rankings, ¨The Miracle¨, which I love, is ranked as the second-worst Queen album.. I believe that if you are open-minded and don't care about what's considered good and bad music, you will enjoy every album by them.. but I still need to hear the last ¨good¨ and ¨terrible¨ albums to know what I'm talking about!

The discographys that I have that I would suggest to people are:
The Libertines
The Strokes
The Jam
My Bloody Valentine
A Tribe Called Quest
New Order
Joy Division
At The Drive-In
Arctic Monkeys
The Stones Roses
The Smiths
Primal Scream
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
Blur
The Clash
Jay-Z
Kanye West
Beastie Boys
Jamie T

They are all top notch with the exception of maybe one album per band average.I tend to only download studio albums and delve further into b sides and live tracks if I really like the band.The likes of Sonic Youth and The Cure with huge discographys I tend to download a block at a time of there albums.

Most albums up to 1980's "The Game" are fairly good (roughly half of their albums). From there it's downhill.

I think the 80's albums are great.. I enjoy them more than albums like Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack

Discographies I do own (mostly vinyls or original CDs)

Beatles of course
Floyd (1967-1979 era)
Jefferson Airplane
George Harrison solo
Genesis (1969-1975)
Blur (worth buying all their seven studio albums)

from all the other artists I have only a few albums, favorites, etc. I like to buy original CDs instead of dowloading albums. Buying all the albums uhhm not cheap, so when I'll be a grown up with a job I'll buy all the other albums from all the bands I like Cool

I have thought of that as well... buying all the CDs/vinyl. I have come to the conclusion I want to collect not just cds, but special releases and vinyl. And yes that can get pricey depending on the catalog. So far I have all the 80s vinyl for U2. Then random vinyls. Proud of my original release of my Abbey Road album on vinyl.
