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.

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. ------------- tengo 'na minchia tanta |

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... ------------- Kryten : "'Pub'?

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... ------------- Kryten : "'Pub'?

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! ------------- |

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.
