This list is quite sparse when compared to my TV shows list, but ah well. Comments welcomed.
Really? You've got Billy Joel's Ultimate Collection now? Excellent. Okay, the videos are standard, but it's a good opportunity to see and hear the man going through (most of) his best known songs.
Other than that, I also have Queen: Greatest Video Hits I, which I found a little disappointing (16 songs on one disc, a couple of others on another disc. I know they were trying to sort of apply consistency with the GH album which has 16 or 17 songs, but I felt that given the immense capacity of DVD, they could have fit at least twice that number of songs on one disc, and put GHII on there as a result. As a comparison, I believe Billy Joel has about 24 or 25 songs on his disc (though that's not EVERY video that he did), which makes me feel like I got better value for money there. BTW, would you recommend Queen's GVH II?
Yeah, I got it, despite them all being found free online, as obviously it's much better to have them high-quality and to watch on TV, and the DVD was on offer for £4.99 at HMV's website a few weeks ago. (Might still be now actually.)
As for Queen.. well, I prefer GH I's music, but GH II has better extras in my opinion, quite a few interviews and archive footage and things. So, it's worth it, but I suggest you find it for a decent price rather than pay more than £10 or so. Billy Joel's DVD is certainly better value than the Queen ones, though Bruce Springsteen's (not that you're interested) is even better - about 30 or so videos, every one her ever did up to the release, spread over two discs, for pretty much the same price as most single music DVDs.
Sounds pretty good! If I was a Springsteen fan, that would be a great bargain! By the way, not all the Billy Joel videos can be found online - some on the DVD aren't online, and vice versa, but it's good. And at only £4.99! Crikey.
