    The Kinks. I finally have all their deluxe versions of their albums from the debut Kinks up through Muswell Hillbillies. The 3 disc VGPS was $50 total and Muswell Hillbillies was $40, but the rest of them were around $15. The only ones I had were the first two albums, and the new Lola set. I like that the deluxe versions of The Kink Kontroversy, Face To Face, Something Else and Arthur have that clear plastic sleeve instead of the sticker like the others have, wish they all had sleeves. Anyway all the sets came at once, so I've got a ton of listening to do, should be fun. :)

    Also bought the 3 CD 1 DVD set of the CSNY 1974 set and that is coming today, didn't think the Kink sets would come so quick!

    Currently obsessed with George Duke in the Frank Zappa era, and various inter-related zigzags spinning out of that. I'm actually kinda "roleplaying" pretending that I'm coming at it from the other direction, like from Cannonball Adderly, then into George Duke, Jean Luc Ponty, and now who is this other rock dude with the beard and the guitar, up there playing ROCK, with a bunch of freaks and George Duke on synth. I'm sorta pretending that I've never heard of Frank Zappa before, and I'm checking out George Duke, as if Zappa was unfamiliar to me and this was just some crazy weird rock gig that George took on, and it stuck! And it's awesome hearing the music that way...There are a lot of recordings and videos in this area of time that I sorta knew about, but never really listened to before now. George Duke and Frank Zappa....those two together were really fantastic....

    Most recently, I'd say The Teardrop Explodes/Julian Cope (not really "obsessed", but heavy exploration/playing.

    A couple of years ago I went a little nutty for The Bee Gees - especially the '60s stuff.

    I got the 5CD version of The Stranglers' Old Testament box set earlier this summer (it contains basically their entire '77-82 UA years material).

    So basically that was >80% of what I listened to during the first three weeks of July.

    I think that qualifies as an obsession - right? :winkgrin:

    The Cure (Paris is on in the background) and Death Grips are probably my two most current obsessions.

    I've heard a lot of great things about Death Grips....they were supposed to open the show I went to with Soundgarden and NIN...I don't really know what happened but I heard they broke up....not sure how you can fall apart when a GREAT slot on that tour presents itself...something pretty major must have gone down./

    Death Grips were sort of known for being a bit antagonistic to...well everything lol, their record label, fans, etc. It reminds me of when they were scheduled to play Lollapalooza a few years back but never even had the intention of showing up.

    I see I'm not the first one in this thread to say Jenny Lewis. I've been listening to The Voyager, mostly. But also the previous two. Maybe I'll dig up the Rilo Kiley, next.
