I mean I do need an abacus to count the number of De-Loused in the Comatorium replacement copies I've received. How hard can this be compared to that?Depending on how you count ... that's nice.

Taj by Taj Mahal for the blues album

I am intrigued by this one. How many Blues artists have gotten to 17 albums?
JLH - We've had, BB King - We've had,
Howlin' Wolf? Maybe? His discography is weird, but it could get to 17 with compilations, live records and albums that are co-headliner, which could make sense for the disclaimer.
Taj Mahal? He gets there, but not until the late 80s, which seems doubtful.
Albert Collins? Again, he gets there, but not until the 90s.
Ray Charles? Not really a "Blues" artist.
Chuck Berry? Maybe?

If you count live albums for Taj Mahal you get to 1987's Taj

I think 1983 was the previous cutoff year for Classics. Which could always change again, but moving into the late 80s would definitely be a big jump.

I love Taj Mahal, but that album is so bad. It's all 80s synth and steel drum. Not what I think about when I think of the Blues. So...definitely it.

Yeah, I just put it on after making my guess as I'd never heard this one. I don't know that I ever need to hear it again either. It's pretty terrible!
Little known fact, "Aja" was actually Steely Dans 17th album.How dare you...

Sun Ra's The Magic City would be an exception to this statement.
...other than the fact a lot of people might not think any of his music is.... "good"

I'm thinking Lightning Hopkins or T-Bone Walker for the blues.
But in all seriousness...
Steely Dan are terrible.
But really in all seriousness, if it's Blues and 17th it's likely a compilation of older singles and whatnot sort of like Slim Harpo's "Original King Bee" which everyone treats like a legit album, but really it's a comp that was first released in 1983.
Or I'm wrong and it's Lightnin' Hopkins.

Chic seems the most Disco Funk imo. Rick James would be solid too. There’s no disco in that Parliament record.

Goddamn it, give me a Sinatra album. Give us a tip-on jacket, AAA, 180g release of In The Wee Small Hours with liner notes by Will Friedwald.

Donna Summer- Love to Love You Baby for disco funk maybe?
I would do a backflip. Perhaps its doable, they just did a Sinatra album in the Quincy Jones boxset!
