Who's cluttering up your shelves? Who do you think is in need of a King Crimson-style megabox? I'll start with a few: Elvis Costello Tom Waits Nick Cave (The recent box was good, but I want something weightier.) Diamanda Galas Legendary Pink Dots Coil Brian Eno Tindersticks
1. Blood , Sweat & Tears 2. Doobies 3. Poco 4. Fogelberg 5. Lightfoot 6. The Outlaws 7. Pure Prairie League 8. Jerry Jeff Walker 9. John David Souther 10. Bread 11. Loggins & Messina 12. Chuck Mangione 13. The Rippingtons 14. David Benoit 15. Fourplay I’m tired...
R.E.M. - could have an IRS box and a Warner Bros. box. Plenty of outtakes, B-sides, Fan Club Christmas songs that could be collected. The Dave Clark Five - Hey, Dave... get off your ass and PUT SOMETHING OUT! Other box sets I would want to pick up: The Animals Herman's Hermits Freddie and the Dreamers The Left Banke
Nicky Hopkins Traffic Richie Havens Mike Nesmith Flamin Groovies Otis Rush Quicksilver Messenger Service
LPDs and Coil for sure, those are two artists who have intimidated me with the vastness of their catalogue. I only own a couple from each.
Assuming they would include unreleased or live stuff that we haven’t seen before, like the KC boxes, then my list would be... Asia Cozy Powell David Lee Roth (post-Van Halen) Gary Moore (two-boxes... one for the fusion/shred years and one for the blues) Gino Vannelli Jean-Luc Ponty John Wetton (I understand some stuff is in the works, but don’t know if it’s just deluxe albums or a box) Larry Carlton Little River Band Michael Hedges Rory Gallagher (not sure if there was one for him or not) Styx Triumph Y&T And a massive set covering Windham Hill
I admit I could be missing something and maybe there's something out there, but... Todd Rundgren James Taylor
Depends what you mean by "comprehensive", but a Van Halen box set with their demos and vintage live material would be pretty amazing.
I have zero faith in today's mastering. I'd like to list a few but more than likely they'd be bastardized.
