Artists that deserve box sets

It seems this Christmas we are being inundated by repackaging and box set treatments for old albums. Some of the remastering work has been terrific, but some of the packages appear to be simply exercises in greed. I was wondering what artists the Agon community believes to be worthy of the box set treatment. I am not talking about a greatist hits collection. I want unreleased tracks, live cuts,and alternative versions mixed in with the established tunes. In some cases I want to cull the selection down from huge cataloges of work. My candidates are: The Connells, William Clarke, Clarence Gatemouth Brown, Charles Brown,Widespread Panic, and Gene Harris.

I would like to see a good box set for:
Cowboy Junkies
Dire Straits
Peter Gabriel
Van Morrison
Doobie Bros.

just to name a few.

By the way Marakanez there is a Clint Eastwood Box set out from Warner Bros

It doesn't appear to have the early Westerns but I have seen another set that has those.

I think an R.E.M. box set would sell very well. Also, Allman Bros, Chris Isaak and Nanci Griffith. I would buy box sets from Dire Straits and Van Morrison on the first day they were available.

......the Allman Brothers and Doobie Brothers do in fact have box sets available. I would like to see a box set from Pat Methany or maybe from JJ Cale

I'd love to see the old Metallica albums get remastered - Kill 'Em All through ...And Justice For All. Great music IMO that diserves better sound quality. I bought them on standard vinyl, and they were decent. I'd love a clean, high-res version of them. Maybe they could get the treatment that the Floyd CDs recently got? Most likely will never happen, but hey, I can dream.
