To be honest, many of these (*)'s indicating complete collections are padded out with illegal digital downloads, but I would buy physical copies of all the albums if I could afford them. I love physical media, and I like to support the artists who have done so much to enrich my life in any way I can when possible (though a lot of my physical collection also consists of second-hand copies, too, so it's not like they made any money off of those purchases). I will buy any format when I can afford it, even 8-tracks! Also, a lot of the female entries could also count for bands/groups, because I don't seem to have a ton of beloved solo female artists. None of these are in any particular order, because I can't pick favorites. I also realize much of the stuff I like is not going to be everyone's cup of tea. Some of it is downright silly in its melodrama, but I genuinely adore all of it.
We share some points. I would buy all physical copies of my favorite singers and bands If I could. The problem is not only money in my case, but that most of my taste in music isn't available in the CD stores of my country. So even If I could afford it, the only option is buying it in an online store, and that means dollars (my country doesn't have many of them, of course). So I don't have many choice but use illegal downloads as you do too… :blownose:
