Good man Ronnie, I think Depeche Mode is missing from the list.

Quote from: Ronnie on September 05, 2026, 11:03:58 PMAnother thing.  On the subject of compilations I mistakenly said that Simple Minds didn't have one.  Instead they had a great live album called Live in the City of Light which was superb & probably better than a 'Greatest Hits' collection.  Depeche Mode did the same with their 101 live album.  Just clarifying something that I think I got wrong.

Some bands are actually better represented by a great live album than a Greatest Hits collection. Live in the City of Light is a cracking example it captures Simple Minds at their absolute peak. And 101 by Depeche Mode is another brilliant shout. Both albums probably give you a better feel for the band than a standard compilation ever could. 👍

101 depeche mode is fantastic along with their US stadium tour video was amazing
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Motown combo, rap and hip hop combo as a minimum might take the bad look off Austin.
