Yet another useless list for all of us anal probes out there...

Who do you have the most of in your collection, with double/box sets counting as one cd? I am assuming most of you will have prog stuff at the top, but I don't (not that I wouldn't like to), for me, it ends up being

17: Elvis Costello

16: Neil Young

13: Tom Waits, Van Morrison, Springsteen, Miles Davis and Joni Mitchell (each)

12: Loudon Wainwright III and Pink Floyd (ditto)

10: Todd Rundgren

I was actually sort of surprised...

I can't give you exact numbers but I own all of Gentle Giant's studio albums on CD (well, my copy of Free Hand and Interview got destroyed, but that's another story), plus a fair number of unofficial releases, the DVD, a copy of Octopus on vinyl, blah-di-blah... I own a lot of Gentle Giant. That's all I say.

I own every single Rush album.  My guess is that easily dwarfs the collection I have for any other band.

Hi Ken, haven't seen you here in a while...Or maybe I roam around in the wrong threads...

15 - Jethro Tull . all the rest are pretty much 10 or less and it is rather boring actually.

Yeah, I think I collected everything he ever released (including pretty lousy one with 4 songs in German), and now awaiting for his new album which is bound to appear this year.
