    anyone buy the 4 cd box? I was holding it in my hands, but the $74.99 (CDN) price seemed pretty steep for mostly material I already have. is the booklet any good? Lots of pics or anything worth noting?
    I've had that thing in my Amazon cart off and on for months. I don't think I'll ever purchase it. I have nearly all of Cornell's work with one exception - Scream. I haven't ever listened to it. Maybe I should do that this afternoon and see what all the kerfuffle was about.

    Also, I'll plug the SDE of 'Superunknown' as one of my favorites. I love that album so much - getting to hear those songs evolve, plus all the rest still gets me good every time I throw it on. Just need a 1.21 jigawatt sound system to play the blu-ray of the album.

    I also have everything else except scream. I have listened to it, and it wasn't for me. I had a thought, though. I may buy it as a way to introduce my pop-heavy 12 year old daughter to what a real artist is.

    i love those boxes, I just hate the cost and how much room they take up in the shack I live in. I once bought the Telephantasm box that I bought on super sale at HMV for $49.99. I thought it was an error when I walked in the store, so snapped it up. I sold it later on, but wish I hadn't. 

    Part of my issue: I keep selling things to downsize but then later I realize I regret selling it. I wish I didn't like the physical product so much. But I love pouring through the liner notes, flipping through the pages, admiring the art.

    If it’s Rollingstone then Bob Dylan and Mick Jagger have to be on it. Number 7? Did Rollingstone make this list or Alt Nation because it’s complete bullshit. 
    Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

    Songbook might very well be my favorite live album of all time and seeing Chris solo live in Modesto,Ca was one of the highlights of my life. Plus seeing the final Hunger Strike live at Bridge School was awesome too. Gone way too soon. Unbelievable talent.  
    Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

    When I think of singers I don't fondly think of Dylan, sorry, lol.

    IMO George Harrison had a better voice than Paul & John...

    Anything RS does is biased.  They are all Boomers stuck in a time capsule.

    and there are two canadian singers that are miles above the rest. I know they most likely aren't known, but still. Daniel Greaves of the Watchmen (very popular canadian band) and Ian Thornley of Big Wreck.

    would still love to find that CC tour poster of the deer/buck from 2013. I've noticed that the "volume 1" has been dropped from the title of No One Sings Like You Anymore. Wonder why. Maybe volume 2 was the stuff that she claimed was solo material but SG claimed was band material.
