How many of the 500 best albums do you own/have listened to in full?

[DiskoBaby 1,929]

Is it weird to see greatest hits albums and live albums on there? They’re not technically albums. 

[Franch Toast 26,782]

I couldn't get through that list; it takes too long to load.

For those who don't know Joni Mitchell, watch the legend perform her magic:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKQSlH-LLTQ

When I attended a Rickie Lee Jones concert with a friend we showed up several hours early to get front row center seats.  Everyone in the front rows were hardcore Rickie Lee Jones fans.  But while waiting for the concert to begin they were discussing Joni's album Blue.  They tried to convince me to buy the album in vinyl.  I said my hearing is bad and I wouldn't hear the difference between vinyl and CD.  They said the vinyl Blue is a must have, and I would hear the difference.  While I saw Rickie in concert three times, sadly I never made it to a Joni concert.  Had tickets to see Rickie again this year but it was cancelled due to covid.

I agree with Greatest Hits, since it's the greatest songs from artists, it's unfair to compare them to regular albums.

I disagree for the live albums though, I have listened to a few from that list, and when you listen to them, you just KNOW why they're included and why they're considered one of the best from the artist's discography even if it's live.

[Red Velvet 10,988]

Born this Way, Ray of Light, Melodrama, ANTi, 1989, Beyoncé, Lemonade, RED.
