No, I wouldnt say thats lame to only own awn all of their major releases.
I dont even have that many. I dont really know what "level of liking"
means. I think they are amazing, but I dont own any Japanese import 7"s
or anything. After re-reading your message, I'm thinking maybe there was
a bit of sarcasm laced in there. Then again, if you enjoy Alanis, Reel
Big Fish, etc., more power to you. Oh, and no I cant really think of any
comparable bands, although ones like Built to Spill are certainly amazing
in their own right.
