Of which band/singer do you have the most albums?

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I've been sorting through my CDs, working out which order to send them back to the UK so that I don't have to go too long without albums that I life. Sure I could just copy everything across to the computer and my phone BUT I like to have CDs around if I like them.

Anyway unsurprisingly it turns out I have more albums by Blur than anyone else.

Including compilations and B-side albums I have:

Leisure

Parklife

The Special Collectors Edition

The Great Escape

Blur

13

Think Tank

The Best Of

Midlife: A Beginner's Guide

So I looked a bit deeper into my collection and found....

POLYSICS

A.D.S.R.M!

Live In Japan

6-D (covers)

Eno

Polysics or Die!!!!

Now Is The Time!

We Ate The Machine

Oh! No! It's Heavy Polysick!!!

PLUS a live show DVD.

FEEDER

Swim (original blue version)

Swim (re-release red version)

Polythene

Yesterday Went Too Soon

Another Yesterday...

Echo Park

Picture of Perfect Youth (B-sides)

Which ain't bad considering I've got no interest in Feeder post-Echo Park.

SIGUR ROS

Agaetis Byrjun

( )

Takk

Hvart/Heim

Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust

PLUS their DVD.

What about you lot?

[Jimmy]

Eminem

Slim Shady LP

Marshall Mathers LP

The Eminem Show

Encore

Relapse

Recovery

Then just a bunch of bands with only four albums out; Los Campesinos, Arctic Monkeys etc.

[Quom]

The Magnetic Fields. I own all of their albums. I am kicking myself that I missed the chance to pre-order their latest on vinyl (first 300 were signed by the band).

[Skummy]

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, at a guess. If you include other Nick Cave stuff (Grinderman, The Birthday Party, Boys Next Door, Nick Cave & Warren Ellis, soundtracks, audio books, spoken word), then it's him by a country mile.

He'd probably be closely followed by Tom Waits, as I've got almost all of his stuff, Motorhead and Neil Young, who's been creeping up the list slowly over the last couple of years.

Jeff Buckley would be up there too, which is ridiculous considering he only released one studio album. Off the top of my head, I have:

Grace

Grace Legacy Edition

Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk

Songs To No One

Mystery White Boy

Live At Sin-é (Legacy Edition)

Live At L'Olympia

Grace Around The World

The Grace EPs

Sun Ra is high on the list too, higher if you include the Sun Ra Arkestra after his death, as I have two or three of their albums on top of eight or nine Sun Ra albums.

[SRN]

Devin Townsend. I have all of his solo stuff (plus the first Ziltoid album), his two albums with the Devin Townsend Band, the five Strapping Young Lad records and the four albums he did as the Devin Townsend Project. Honestly, the only LP I am missing is Punky Brüster plus some rare demos and EPs but otherwise, he is probably the one I have most of. Then follows Moonsorrow where I have all their albums except Suden Uni (which I will probably never get since it seems to be out of print indefinetely).

[METALMAN]

If we're counting live albums and best ofs and so on, I have 35 Bob Dylan albums - and I still don't have any of his "bad" albums! Might get them one day. Also have 35 albums by Frank Zappa, same story.

But most of them are my dad's.

For the biggest collection I've amassed myself, it would be Ryan Adams. I have 12 of his albums I think.

[Meacon Keaton]

The Beatles.

I have every one of their CD's and about a dozen vinyl records.

[Colly]

Just bands that have been around forever and keep churning them out. Without counting its between The Charlatans, Manic Street Preachers, Super Furry Animals or Teenage Fanclub, at pretty much every studio album plus bits.

[RPS]

In terms of vinyl and CDs:

Antony & the Johnsons - 4 LPs, 4 EPs, 1 single

Blur - 8 LPs

The Clash - 7 LPs

Kanye West - 5 LPs + 1 with Jay-Z

Kraftwerk - 7 LPS

[New Damage]

Pearl Jam - 4 (Ten, Vs., Vitalogy & Backspacer) and the 2 free live albums I was entitled to download from buying Backspacer.

I also have both of Eddie Vedder's solo albums, so even if you counted them... not a lot.

[Liam]

Pearl Jam

Ten

Vs.

Vitalogy

Riot Act

Pearl Jam

Backspacer

2 of their official bootleg shows, one from Penn State and one from New York (not sure on the last one)

Like Gods of the Sun

34.788%...Complete

The Light at the End of the World

An Ode to Woe (live album)

In Flames

Reroute to Remain

Soundtrack to Your Escape

Come Clarity

A Sense of Purpose (I think I have that one)

Paradise Lost

Gothic

One Second

Host

Paradise Lost

In Requiem

The Anatomy of Melancholy (live)

They are the main ones, from what I can remember.

[tristy]

I guess Nine Inch Nails...

From memory, I have The Hand That Feeds UK single (thanks Kaney ), With Teeth (vinyl), The Fragile (CD/vinyl), Ghosts I-IV, And All That Could Have Been (DVD) and Pretty Hate Machine (original CD, vinyl).

[Evis]

Pink Floyd, I have all their albums.

[METALMAN]

omar god...

[Matt]

If we're counting compilations, live albums and such, Nirvana. I've got the 3 studio albums, about 4-5 live albums, and tonnes of b-side compilation albums. Strictly studio albums, almost certainly Beatles, I've got them all.

[Steeb]

Including EPs and bootlegs, I have 53 discs of Smashing Pumpkins stuff. After that...erm...probably Pearl Jam or Nine Inch Nails, around 12-15 for each.

[Evis]

and do you ever listen to Momentary Lapse of Reason? >_>

Eh, occasionally. The only song I really like on that is "On The Turning Away."

[SRN]

I have never found A Momentary Lapse of Reason to be that bad. It is decidingly average but it is not nearly as bad as The Final Cut.
