Love the band, but don't have one album

Is there a band you really really love but you've just never gotten around to getting one of their albums?

I have a lot of Nirvana's stuff... Euro imports, CD singles, demo sessions, bootlegs from Vienna in 1989...

But I still don't own Bleach. Don't ask me why.

My friend is a huge huge Radiohead fan, going as far as considering getting a tattoo of Radiohead's mascot crying bull/cow-thing. But... he doesn't own Pablo Honey.

That's a really good question, but off the top of my head, I think I can honsetly say - no.

Pretty much, if I really like a band (or artist) I will try and get just about everything they've put out. Sometimes, some of it ends up being rubbish, in which case I'll usuually just sell/trade it in for something else.

If I do think of one, I'll repost, though.

I love Bjork, but I still don't own Gling-Glo (1990) or Telegram (1997). The first is her lesser-known Icelandic debut and the second is essentially a remix album, but both are official studio releases.

I have all albums but
Sleater Kinney - Sleater Kinney (their 1st album)
Beck - Stereopathetic Soul Manure
Bjork - Drawing Restraint 9
Ani Difranco - Ani Difranco & Not So Soft (instead I've got "Like I Said" which has some songs from both these albums)

There's a bunch more that I've got 10 or more CDs by but don't have them all yet. For example:
Sonic Youth - I don't have their first 3 or 4 albums or NYC Ghost and Flowers- I've got even more missing if you include their SYR EPs.
Bob Dylan - currently my second most collected artist but I'm missing Saved, Shot of Love, World Gone Wrong and a few more albums.
Brian Eno - I've got 15 albums of his, and have no clue how many more are out there.

Bleach IMO is their best album, stop posting and go buy it, or just d/l it at least. The vinyl is pretty rare and worth some $$

Yeah, I never got around to picking up Bleach either. I like U2 a lot, but don't have anything pre Joshua Tree, need to pick up those some time as well.

Other than that, I can't think of any others.

I don't understand the question 'Love the band but do not have one album'.

Lordwow states Aja. Do you own other albums? (and there others as well that posted).

I guess I am missing the question ... I have ZERO music by Highwayman but really liked what I have heard many times at a freinds house. Not sure why I never picked up their albums.

That's how I originally read the question but I believe the author's intent was to ask what artists do you really like and have an almost complete album collection of but you have neglected to buy one disc for whatever reason.

(BTW, all 3 Highwaymen discs are available at yourmusic.com for 5.99 each. )

Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Mother's Milk. I have everything since then up to this last one, I had this but it was stolen and never replaced.
Deftones - B Sides. Have not bought it yet.
The Cure - Rarities Box Set and all of the new re-issues. Have not bought it yet, have all the original CDs, just hate spending money on double dipping.

Maybe I did. Thanks for the info as well, nice price .

I was also going to add The Faces but I already am going to by the Rhino set very soon. One band I always know when I hear them and like everything about them.

I guess I misread the question as more of a "Is there a band you really like that you're missing a great album from." So no, I don't own all the Steely Dan albums besides Aja. My mistake.

Going by "I'm missing this one album by a band I love..."

I've never gotten around to getting Pet Shop Boys' "Bilingual" - I either upgraded or finally got around to purchasing all of the others when the "Further Listening" series came out...except for that one for some reason. I dunno - I don't really care for the singles [except 'Before', which I love], and there's always something else to get when I think of it. I would quite like the extended 'Somewhere' from the bonus disc, and it does drive me nuts that I don't have it yet. One of these days....

I'm also missing "For You" by Prince. [This is stopping at "The Hits", of course - after that, I could care less about what I'm missing, though I do have an album here and there.] I'm waiting to find it used as I've found most of the others on disc, but have yet been unsuccessful.

I'm a huge Prince fan, but God that album is completely unlistenable...I own it solely for collector's sake...

I'm obsessed with the too-quickly-forgotten band Jesus Jones, but have yet to pick up their latest album (LONDON) and EP (CULTURE VULTURE).

Plus the remastered CD does sound great to me and I've always really liked Baby You're a Rich Man.

Sorry if my question was a bit unclear. Answer it in whatever way you want, there's no right or wrong way to interpret it.
