Discography
A few notes: I’ve provided the greatest level of detail for the studio albums, then less for live albums, then compilations, etc. As well, this is a U.S. discography, with U.S. chart placements, U.S. certifications, and when we get to singles, official U.S. singles only (save for the all-important independent debut).
There is no Side 1 and Side 2 designation because all of these records originate, essentially, after the switchover from vinyl to CD. Where possible, I’ve endeavored to reduce repetition (i.e., for live albums that were issued both in audio and video format). Catalogue numbers are the originals, as are the issues — I’ve not gotten into first and second and third appearance on CD, remastered, audiophile recordings, etc.
Summing up, the idea was to limit this to the core, relevant discography (and, yes, videography). Anything that came out only as digital (no physical issue) is also not included. Also, I’ve skipped chart placement for videos and DVDs. I figure the only chart measure that carries enough significance to mention is the actual Billboard 200, for albums. One other thing — and I’m sure there are a few more of these gremlins — originally and then occasionally, it’s “Freewill” and other times it’s “Free Will.”
