How can you say that you prefer listening to the solo stuff if you've never listened to Boomtown in it's entirety? That CD was how I first heard about DB and why I chased up his solo albums later on.

Sometimes it works the other way around. For example, I really enjoyed an album by Shane Nicholson (Kasey Chamber's other half, but don't hold that against him) and ended up tracking down a CD by a group that he fronted (Pretty Violet Stain) which is a gem that I would have missed otherwise.

I'm the same with authors - find a book I like, then see if the author has written more, either before or after. It can be very disappointing, like in the case of Mary Ann Shaffer (author of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society), who was quite elderly when she wrote the book and in fact died before it was published. It was such a lovely book that I felt cheated that there were no more and never would be. Same goes for musicians that die prematurely perhaps before they've produced their best work.

Anyway, get yourself a copy of Boomtown...
