correct. i included the other two because they are unique to themselves and thus still relevant peices of their catalog. if they had like 5 live albums i wouldn't inlude them because that creates a seperate category for that, imo. i felt that a single quality cover album was also relevant because it's the only one of it's kind in their catalog.

hulked out praise? if i called them the greatest band in the history of bands, that would be hulked out. if i said nobody out there has done what they've done, that would be hulked out. i stated that it's likely a very short list to have a run like they've had. i stated that my stance wasn't that there weren't artists out there with similar runs, simply that there were none that i myself could think of and asked for others, which you gave a solid example of.
