I got loads and of most artists you mentioned I have all solo and related stuff as well as bootlegs. You've also missed off a few titles like Amy's last two albums, some floyd and timber lake and nysnc. And what about singles and compilations. You need those to have the discography. | |

you mean posthumous albums?
and no, I have all the Pink Floyd studio albums, although I don`t like much the earliest of them, I bought just for the collection. [Edited 1/8/13 10:01am] | |

Probably nobody, even with the ones that I have all of their albums. Most of them have songs that were either singles only, were on soundtracks/compilations only, guest appearances on other folks songs/albums (particularly with jazz acts like George Benson), or are out of print. With Johnnie Taylor, he has a lot of singles only, early songs with the gospel group Highway QC's, and SAR era material that are not available. I do have a compilation of that has every song JT recorded with the Soul Stirrers. I don't have the Steeltown stuff the J5 did, nor the Save The Children soundtrack with different acts. Though I'd rather have the video of Save The Children (aka Brothers And Sisters), than the album. Sade had a lot of B-sides in the 1980's, and I only have one of them, but have heard most of them. I also don't have anything that was download only by anyone, because I don't do downloading, pay or free.

What about the Tony Sheridan album? There's been several editions over the years. This is the most recent:
There's also a compilation of The Beatles Christmas singles, but I've only seen it on vinyl.
I forgot about the Hollywood Bowl album that was released in the mid 1970's by Capitol. But I think that's out of print, and don't believe has ever been released on CD. Then, there's Live At The BBC and the 3 Anthology sets.

Robert Johnson, because he only recorded 29 songs! With artists as prolific as Dylan, Prince or Zappa it's a lot of work and there's always a record somewhere that's ultra-rare and very expensive... Besides, does "complete" mean each and every pressing of a particular record? Or just, "all albums"? Even then... I don't have 20Ten 4 example. No, I stopped being a completist. | |

No, only the studio albums, some artists have dozens of compilations, where the same songs just change places ... you can buy it only if you absolutely irrepressible fanatic of some artist. | |

Sometimes a 'greatest hits/best of' album will have newly recorded songs or previously unreleased songs added to it. There's also the case where a single is different than the album version like No One Is To Blame by Howard Jones, or the maxi single may have a longer version like Dance Little Sister by Terence Trent D'Arby, Did I Hear You Say You Love Me by Stevie Wonder, or America by Prince & The Revolution. Billy Ocean's maxi single for Carribean Queen has alternate versions called African Queen and European Queen. If you only bought his album, then you wouldn't have these. Also in many cases, the version of an album released in Japan has extra songs or a different version/mix of a particular song. In the 1960's, sometimes the mixes were different for mono and stereo versions of songs/albums. Like the mono version of The Beatles' Helter Skelter is shorter than the stereo mix.

I remember reading that during the 8-track days, sometimes an 8-track would have an extra song not on the vinyl or a different mix. I remember cassettes were occasionally like this too. When CD's first came around, it would have songs not on on the record and/or cassette like Leave Me Alone on Michael Jackson's Bad and a couple of the songs on Characters by Stevie Wonder. When Off The Wall was first released, a few of the songs had different mixes that were later changed on all later pressings. On the CD version of Janet Jackson's debut album, it has the maxi single remix of Say You Do instead of the version from the original release. With The Beatles, most of the Capitol albums were different and in the case of A Hard Day's Night, there's George Martin instrumentals that are not on any of the British albums.

They only have 3 albums, plus a remix album only released in Japan. Andrew has a solo album called Son Of Albert.

Yeah I know that's why I almost have all of theirs! Have you happened to listen to Andrew's solo album, is it bad (considering that he didn't do much for Wham!)? | |

I have Blood on the dance floor ... I didnt include it because it goes beyond the established limits in this topic - only studio albums, and it's official remix album, I have "Fakael" 'Michael' too, by the way.
Why you should have live albums? They have some new material? no.
No, they are separate acts. | |

I have Andrew's album. It's alright. If you like pop rock you might dig it, but it sounds nothing like Wham!. George sings background on Red Dress. There's a music video for it, but it seems it's been taken down, but here's the song.

Sometimes they do. Commodores Live! had a then new studio recording called Too Hot To Trot. Teddy Pendergrass Live! Coast To Coast also had new songs at the end, and some "interview" segments. Also, the act might perform a song in concert where there isn't a studio version like Hold The Line by Millie Jackson.

Thanks for sharing! Yeah this song actually isn't bad as I thought Andrew's music would be. It is way different than Wham! and it isn't nearly as good but it's decent pop/rock. | |

Oh yeah, I didn't get the Michael album because although there are a few good tracks some of them are indeed fake and I didn't like how they did the production on the songs and didn't keep the original, I do like however what they did to The Way You Love Me. I just wouldn't support a project like this so I just downloaded the songs, however Bad 25 was something I could get on board with.
You should get the Hello World collection which will get you all 4 of MJ's solo albums on Motown plus Farewell My Summer Love (the released 1984 mix and the previously unreleased original mixes) and Looking Back To Yesterday.
Well you should have live albums because some of them are bloody good, though I agree I don't think they should really count in owning someone's discography. As for compilations, well it depends, I buy compilations if it's an artist that I love and it has a lot of unreleased material or different mixes. For my favorite artists I buy a compilation even if it only has one new song. But yeah for the most part compilations are usually just good for casual fans or if you're looking for an introduction to an artist. | |

Wham! was R&B based, but Andrew's album is closer to Def Leppard or something. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B.
