For $35 you could buy used or maybe even new copies of all three of her studio albums. That would seem the better investment to me. The only thing you'd be missing then is some of the soundtrack contributions, which that compilation does collect nicely, but are easy enough to download at a buck a pop. Feels like at that price point you really could legally own almost her entire discography, not just a selective two disc sampler.

listening to the self-titled for the first time in many years and it's. . .oh, let's just say a hundred times better than i remembered it. and i remember thinking at the time, "she died after making her best album." untimely death or no, what an amazing album.

I love Aaliyah, but the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this thread get bumped was "Ah! Leah!" by Donnie Iris.

It's her mom & brother - here's a long article about the recent developments. (Hope they get an accounting from the uncle and whatever $ they're entitled to, but this is very welcome news overall.)
