My rules are very strict. I cannot consider an artist a favorite or myself a fan unless I have all their studio albums and try to see them live every time they play in my city. Likewise, an artist can only be considered if there are two albums worth of material released. No one-hit wonders allowed.

YES:

Prince
Siouxsie And The Banshees/The Creatures
Tori Amos
Janet Jackson

NO:

The Cure
Björk
PJ Harvey
The Pipettes (not yet, but very very soon)

But I like them all a lot. smile

some of those people have more than 2 albums confused


I could have sworn yesterday this thread title said "but YOU only have one or two of their albums." confused

Either my reading comprehension skills have greatly diminished or gremlins switched the words on me.

If you will, so will I

How you can say no to Bjork and PJ disbelief

I say the answer is Yes. Erykah Badu has what, 2 proper albums, an ep and a live disc but really 2 proper and she is one of my all time favorite ever!. I feel the same way about Adriana Evans and she put out 2 discs, one of which I have never been able to track down and CeCe Peniston is more or less considered a one hit wonder and with 3 proper albums, all of them spotty, she is one of my all time favorites because of how great her great songs really are on each album. The Brand New Heavies made my all time favorite at 2 albums and Dee-Lite made 3 albums and fell off but they too are in my top fave list nod Jill Scott got a place on my list with one album. That's all I needed nod

Add Bilal and D'Angelo to that list nod

So yes, the answer is yes lol

I like them a lot, but I don't consider myself a real fan because PJ played here last week and I did not go. There's also a world of PJ b-sides that I have never attempted to explore. That's not a real fam. The same goes for Björk. These two Björk shows I saw this year were the first this century. Unacceptable.

But let me now answer the original thread question properly. razz

Two albums is the absolute minimum for an artist to be considered my favorite which would include:

Deadsy
Icaro Azul
Van Hunt

I think that's it. Every other one has at least three albums released.

Hi Funkenstein can you tell me more about Quazar? what type of music is it?, the only Quazar band I found (without looking very hard I must admit) is a house band?.....
Thank you for letting me know


Yea, there is a 90s band called Quazar, but it has nothing to do with this one.

This 'Quazar' is a funk band from the 70s. They released one album, 'Quazar' in 1978.
It features former P-Funk members Glenn Goins and Jerome Brailey (on some of the songs). Glenn and Jerome had some financial disagreements with George Clinton and left his posse. Glenn formed Quazar with his brother Kevin. Unfortunately, Glenn passed away before the album was completed (he was only 23 years old... sad ). Kevin decided to go ahead and release the album anyway. The band broke up afterwards.

I have this LP, and yes indeed - Quazar would have been huge! RIP Brother Glenn. This album was some serious, gritty funk. Very proud to have it in my collection - can't be found anywhere on CD. I used to stare at the cover for hours, LOL.

Bell & James. Only 2 LP's, never released on CD (aside from the hit cut "Living It Up [Friday Night]"). Every song on each of their albums were my favorite (especially "Ask Billie")! Thank God I still at least have the albums, have been waiting years for the CD's.

Couldn't possibly agree more. To this day, I still wonder what kind of music he would be making.
