Yeah, I didn't count bootlegs, but I don't really have very many anyway. But, I guess the numbers in general point to the actual faves of each person (the kings, if you will), so I guess that is all that counts.

And all of you that say 'all' next to the artist, too lazy!

Some seem to count their bootleg albums, else I don't understand the number of albums assigned to some artists.

Wow! Last time I counted I had over 3,000 albums on vinyl and 400 CDs/DVDs. Idon`t keep them in any particular order so it`s almost impossible to count how many I have from an individual band but I do know I have a lot of the following:

Omega, Focus( all ), King Crimson, Gentle Giant ( all ), Grobschnitt, Guru Guru, John McLaughlin, Miles Davis, Jane, Hoelderlin ( all ), Novalis, Elvis Presley, Black Sabbath ( all Ozzy ), Rammstein ( all ), Larry Coryell, Jean-Luc Ponty, Monty Python, wow! I could go on and on. I`ve been collecting music since 1973 and there`s stuff in there I`ve even forgotten I have. I just discovered I had a rare Brain Festival album I bought new in 1978 and only played  a few times. I`m going to burn it on to a CD and keep it safe!
