Astral, thanks...did you see my Genesis piece?

And, by the way, I wasn't counting my cassettes, only my cds...if I had, you would see what a completist I am!

I was counting LP's and CD's and frankly my LP's way outnumber my CD's...

Didn't know this was a CD's only poll... Big smile

we have all official albums of Hawkwind and Peter Hammill. which in the case of Hawkwind are 41 CDs (or 42, counting a CD which contains 4 EPs of Hawkwind). this includes a special CD available for Hawkwind passport owners only ((Live 1997). in the case of Peter Hammill they add up to 40

Holy crap, and I thought I was a completist!

No biggie Firepuck, but I may have to alter my list (though I always want it complete as far as cds go)!

Kings of my collection are the Grateful Dead, with about a hundred titles on the shelf, including solo albums from various members and several band-related releases, and still counting two 12 CD box-sets as one piece each.

That could entitle me to be a Deadhead, I suppose...

Other runners for the prize (with not much of a chance, dare I say...) are Anthony Phillips and Steve Hackett, with about 15 titles each, mainly because I found many of their CDs in the used section of my favourite music shop, and so I bought them.

CD's are great, very versatile and tranportable - but man I love playing my old LP's!

41 Hawkwind CD's!!! wow - I would never of guessed they had that many. I still spin my 30 year old copy of 'Warrior on the Edge of Time', I have the original release with the fold out album cover - kind of puts the CD to shame...

tortellino, I believe you. I have a friend who has what must amount to a couple of hundred live performances of the Grateful Dead, it's quite unbelievable actually.

The thing is, all he listens to is the Grateful Dead and Phish, he is a bit anal that way. I've tried getting him into other music (prog) because he is most of the way there, but I've had no success.

And I really enjoy filling the air with the Dead every once in a while but come on - how many different versions of Dark Star do I need to listen to...

My counts are all legitimate albums, I own only a couple of bootlegs anyways...

Still, it's impressive how some people collect everything available - my God anael, diversify a little! Big smile
