Let’s get the audiophile snobbery out of the way early: FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) isn't just a format. It is a time machine.
This discography—spanning from their raw, feral debut (recorded in 1972 with the manic energy of a band that had been playing the same clubs for three years) to the surprisingly robust The Symbol Remains (2020)—is a masterclass in production evolution.

"That Was Me", "Box in My Head", "The Alchemist"
The 1985 album "Power" marked a return to their heavier roots, with the hit single "Invisible Child." The band continued to release new music throughout the 1980s and 1990s, including "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (1988) and "Rare Cult" (1993).
Collecting the complete discography in FLAC ensures you have a bit-perfect backup of some of the most important rock music of the 20th and 21st centuries.
