I only own 5 of these. That's pretty bad.

[¤I Love Clay Aiken¤]

Wow... none.

Just bought Christopher Cross last year in bargain basement on cassette and listened to it once. Don't own anything else, but Richie, Saturday Night Fever, Quincy Jones and Thriller had so many singles on the radio (at least 5 form each one) it was like listening to the whole album anyway. Heard most of Songs in the Key of Life and Bonnie Raitt at the record shop so why buy them?

10. Not all are on CD though. Fleetwood (I do have Tusk on CD though, all but 2 Rumours tracks are on "The Very Best Of"), Lionel, Bee Gees (once again, own a Greatest Hits cd that has every song of theirs from the album anyways) and Stevie are on vinyl, and Phil Collins is cassette only.

I might eventually check out the Outkast. While I don't own a copy of Faith or The Bodyguard, I have the Greatest Hits cd's of both artists which include basically every song off each I want

[Dean Winchester]

I'm shocked only 2 of us in here own Rumours, I thought that was one of those albums everyone owned a copy of on at least one format, lol

[SBTB Geek]

2004-- Outkast- Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
2003-- Norah Jones- Come Away With Me
2000-- Santana- Supernatural
NOMINEE WHO SHOULD OF WON:
TLC- Fanmail
1999-- Lauryn Hill- The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
1996-- Alanis Morissette- Jagged Little Pill
1988-- U2- Joshua Tree
1984-- Michael Jackson- Thriller

I feel the contrary. Now I'm at a point I won't purchase a cd unless I've heard the whole thing. I wanna know the music is worth my $$$ before spending it. I've purchased quite a few "new albums" lately, but all of them were ones I heard first, whether online or from a friends copy, and it got me to purchase it. I hated always buying cd's that were stuffed with useless filler tracks and had one or two good songs, which were the singles. Do you not buy Greatest Hits cd's?

One of the reasons I think Thriller, Saturday Night Fever, Rumours and Lionel's cd all sold so many copies is because there were so many hits on it, which gave the consumer more of a feeling that they will like the entire cd. The albums that generally still sell over the test of time are the ones that were loaded with familiar songs.

Because it's 70's Stevie Wonder. It doesn't get much better than that.

My girlfriend owns Rumours, but since I never listen to it, I don't count it as mine, even if it is in my house.

[Hollow]

none :grr:

I own it. Half the people I meet have never even heard of that album or Fleetwood Mac for that matter. As far as I'm concerned they are missing out big time. Rumours and The Joshua Tree are the only ones I own from that list.

[Rhiannon]

Outkast, Celine Dion, and Lauryn Hill

they sure are. Fleetwood Mac is timeless. The Very Best Of and Tusk are two of my most listened to CD's. I also have Rumours, Tusk, Live and Tango In The Night on vinyl. Say You Will was quite good too.

Do you have any of their music before the Buckingham/Nicks era?
A lot of that older stuff is pretty good too.

[Raven-Symone]

I just own one and that all that is Micheal Jackson Thriller

nope, never really been interested in checking out pre-Stevie/Lindsey music. Isn't it more blues?

Some of it is but not all. I mainly listen to it for Christine McVies music since she is my favorite member of FM.

Yes I have heard something to that effect but I wasn't really sure if it was true or just a "Rumour". I will definitely get it as soon as it is released.
