I'm an old man so I've listened to a lot of albums. Besides, back in the day that's all we had. No internet or MP3's or anything.

My list would read a lot like yours but without Missing Persons and replacing the heavy/metal (DIO, Ozzy, Motley,...) with prog (Gentle Giant, Triumvirat, Aphrodite's Chhild).

Most likely because that's the default setting and most people haven't even thought of changing it.

yeah I actually had no idea, although I don't even bother favouriting let alone adding to collection.

I was hoping this thread was about ownership. Maybe I'm weird, but I can't see listening to an album, rating it, and not owning it. Just doesn't work for me.

Also...just curious. Why does it seem like almost everyone has the Collection section on this site marked private?

Anyway...the complete studio album discographies I own...not a lot. But I have a lot of albums.

The Beatles
Drive By Truckers
Son Volt

i just completed The Mars Volta:

1. Frances The Mute 100/100 (18# in my chart, a masterpiece!)
2. De-loused in the Comatorium 80/100
3. The Bedlam In Goliath 80/100
4. Amputechture 70/100
5. Octahedron 65/100

i think that this band will have a solid place in my top 30 of the best artists for a loooong time.

Van Halen II (1979)
Women And Children First (1980)
Fair Warning (1981)
Diver Down (1982)
1984 (1984)

Lot of good music between those 4 bands. I'm not real big on the VanHagar albums but they still had some great moments but not as many as with Roth. As far as the Eagles, they are not very popular on BEA but I used to play the Hell out of Hotel California when it came out. I always thought the Long Run album was underrated as far as Eagles albums go.

But IMO Led Zeppelin stand head and shoulders above the others and most others, period.

What I was going to ask you about was the Coda album. I remember buying it when it came out mainly just to complete my Zep collection (of course I then had to buy the Firm and all of Plants solo albums) and had no expectations of it being any good. After all, Coda was only released to fulfill a contractual agreement and I had heard that the album sucked.

But, IMO Coda is pretty good. What do you think?

Also, what do you think about Robert Plants solo albums?

EDIT: I just realized that you said you wish you had never bought Coda 🫢

.

I agree about Long Run being underrated. I even think it's as good as Hotel California

I was too harsh on Coda. I listened to it the other day when you posted this and it was ok. it's not the worst album in my set, but still the worst Led Zeppelin album.

I really like Robert Plant. I haven't heard all of his albums, but I dig the two I have (Fate Of Nations and Manic Nirvana). I always thought that Zeppelin would have gone that direction if they had stayed together.

What haven't you listened to by the Beatles?

Actually, at first glance, I thought this thread had to do with ownership. My list is probably a lot longer. The 99% was for R.E.M. although I have heard 100% of their albums, I refuse to get Around the Sun as it's virtually unlistenable.

Hey Gary, As a Beatles fan, are you aware of this podcast?

http://www.podarama.com/fab_fourum/blog.php

It's pretty interesting and entertaining.

No I wasn't. Thanks for letting me know about it. Looks like a good one :D

Yeah. I think you would definitely dig it. You can subscribe free on Itunes too. 😁

Well, The Beatles are the greatest band of all time, I own the stereo remasters and treasure every one. I love Bowie, Zeppelin, Rush, and Iron Maiden. Can't say I listen to GNR much, but they only have the 3 1/2 albums and they are all classics. Wolfmother only have 2 and I think they are a solid rock band 😎

Yeah I thought we were just doing listened, not owned, otherwise I have to halve my list.

yes it was about listening, because i don't really see the point in the purchased list. this can be another topic for the collectors.

It was just the only way to go through and find the artists where the whole discography has been listened to. Can't remember everything I have heard.
