Yep, singles, compilations, bootlegs, flexi-discs...etc. They're a great band to collect if you enjoy that kind of thing.

FWIW I know folk who collect SY far more obsessively that I do!

I’m a record dealer, I rather like Sonic Youth, and I have no idea how that is even possible!

PS To my shame I only have Sonic Youth, Evol, Sister, Daydream Nation, Goo and Dirty. Saw them live on the Daydream Nation tour too.

I'm jealous Tony! I didn't get to see them until the Goo tour.

Interesting thread and it seems my list is not an exact mirror of my personal top 10 artists although most are represented in there, just not in the order I would necessarily expect (although this concept is of course slewed by the catalogue sizes of the respective artists/bands).

So here goes:

Depeche Mode
Schiller
David Bowie
Peter Gabriel
Kate Bush
U2
Chicane
Joy Division/New Order
Pet Shop Boys
The Beatles
 
Some cracking artist/bands ranked, makes you go “oh aye, they were good”,
good to see 4 pages in, there’s no mention of Coldplay or Oasis.
 
In no particular order;

The Fab Four

Floyd

Cream

CCR

Steve Miller Band

Mike Oldfield

Jean Michell Jarre


Public Service Broadcasting

The Smiths

Miles Davis


:)
 
Belle & Sebastian (must move some of those singles on!)
Tom Waits
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
PJ Harvey
Miles Davis
Pixies
Suede
Bob Dylan
Joni Mitchell
Clifford Brown

Suede should be higher up the list, but I bought the 11 LP box set and flogged off the originals. The same applies to Joni with two box sets, and the Floyd would be there if I hadn’t bought the ‘97 Vinyl collection.

Wouldn’t get past my censorship.

Usually smash up dodgy sheet - using my personal sheetometer.

G. Glitter, B&W Minstrels, R. Harris etc

Once you go down that route a lot of good material would potentially vanish pretty sharpish, e.g. Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson etc. A fair bit of jazz and blues stuff too.

I notice that Thriller is slated for a high-end Mo-Fi ‘One Step’ audiophile reissue later this year, a 40,000 $100 pressing that will almost certainly sell-out on pre-order, so I assume Michael Jackson’s recorded legacy outweighs any (in fairness unproven) accusations. Bill Wyman’s behaviour didn’t seem to dent the Stones much either. There’s no saving a Black & White Minstrels album though it has to be said!

Like I said, using my personal sheetometer and experience.

As it goes, it is ultra rare to get any Stones or Jackson donated, but B&W Minstrels, Harris & Glitter get donated frequently.

I don’t keep a list of known prosecuted abusers, but remember those who I know of
- i.e. Jonathan King goes in the bin as well.

Gives me a sense of satisfaction, so that is a positive.
