EPs: Every single time, sometimes it's the best part of the discography. But definitely for me not something I would ever exclude.

Singles: Very, very rarely- and if so then it's always by accident. I think I have a single from The Arcade Fire and a single from Dead Can Dance and that's it out of 140gb's.

Bootlegs: I think I got some Bowie boots, but I got those by accident, usually I try to avoid getting them. The only time I would go out of my way to get a bootleg is if I listened thoroughly to a discography and wanted more.

B-side albums: It really, really depends on a few factors. With PJ Harvey I have her B-sides album, some live albums, etc. With most bands I wouldn't really bother getting the b-sides, but if the artist is especially good there might be some great stuff there.

Live albums: I thought I would mention I always try to get one live album in the discography somewhere, to me it really adds something. Usually no more then one or two though.
