What great musicans have yet to put out a box set, and should?

[tuvor]

Y'know, musicians whose body of work has stood the test of time.

My votes go to Jonathan Richman and Skinny Puppy. Maybe Kraftwerk, too.

(This question was inspired by discovering that a 4-CD Cure "rarities" box set was released last year--and it didn't include the half-hour long "Carnage Visors"! WTF?!)

1. The B-52s.

With DVD of all their music videos, I'd pay the price.

2. Oh, yeah.

Absolutely.

6. Which reminds me: Yello! n/t

3. Captain Beefheart

And yeah, I know the "Trout Mask Sessions" box set was released, but he needs a "career spanning retrospective." Sample every album from "Safe As Milk" to "Ice Cream For Crow."

4. Commander Cody and The Lost Planet Airmen.

My Daddy said son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin', if you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln.

5. The Rolling Stones need to put out some box sets

All they have are the singles ones, but considering the fact that they've recorded almost 30 albums, there's BOUND to be tons of stuff they havent released yet! I'm betting the recently released Rarities set was just a taste...

7. Tom Petty did, right?

If not, he should

[bbernardini]

8. Todd Rundgren/Utopia, The Tubes, Kevin Gilbert

Probably others, but I can't think of them right now.

9. Did XTC put out a box set? How about the Jam?

Those are two that I would definitely buy!

10. The Dead Milkmen...gotta love 'em nt
