Which discography should I chase down first? (poll)
I have a few bands/artists that I wish to chase down in terms of their discographies and can't decide which to go for first. I have 1 or 2 albums from each so far and am interested in them equally, I would say.
Choices: Elvis Costello Hawkwind Gentle Giant Captain Beefheart King Crimson I know it is basically all opinion based, but which one would you recommend for someone looking to expand in their depth of music? and why? (sorry if it is in the wrong section) |
If you're offering it up for debate amongst the forum I can tell you right now you'll end up listening to King Crimson.
I think you should go for Hawkwind myself. |
King Crimson/Gentle Giant/Hawkwind
Talk about a trifecta of awesome. |
I don't know Hawkwind particularly well, but they're one of those bands I'd think of as having a very large and rewarding discography. I'd say Costello or Beefheart, but that's only as I have their whole back-catalogues myself and reckon more people would benefit from them. Can't really comment on Gentle Giant or King Crimson as prog isn't really my thing.

I'd say you should grab an album from each band here and there, rather than trying to get the entire discography from one particular band. In due time, if the band is worthy to your ears, you will have the entire discogs. Along the way you may also develop a strong preference for one of the bands, which will answer your original question. :)

I love chasing down discographies. I suggest that you go after all of them at once, it's how I do it and it's amazing having so much music at my fingertips! If you need any help, definitely PM me. I have all but Hawkwind.

My votes are Gentle Giant and Captain Beefheart.

Well I'm obviously going to say King Crimson (especially as I'm writing my next KC review atm), but they're really all great artists/bands. Get all 5 discographies!

As a few others have said though, the best way to go would probably be to get, say, one album at a time by one band at a time. Listening to a whole discography as well as getting it at least seems a less daunting task that way - for example I downloaded the Humble Pie discography about 2 months ago now, and I've still only listened to one album end-to-end. |
