What bands are you sort of interested in but haven’t pursued collecting much of their music beyond “Greatest Hits” type collections?

Here’s mine:

Fleetwood Mac  
The Doors  
Black Sabbath  
The Pixies  
Dropkick Murphys

I would say **XTC** and **Radiohead** ; I haven’t listened to anything by Radiohead since _OK Computer_ (which I loved). Although looking at your list reminds that I have a **Dropkick Murphys** album on my ipod which I haven’t played yet.

Defenitly **Everclear** , I’ve seen them twice (three times if you count the small private show before the main May Day concert) and love all of their stuff but somehow I draw a blank when it’s CD buyin’ time and have never gotten one of their albums.
