Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer

I went and purchased two more John Coltrane CD’s, "Blue Train" and "Traneing In", in spite of, relative to other artists, having way too many of his albums already. I do love his music and just now counted having forty-eight of his albums, not even including the ones he recorded with Miles Davis.

Is there anyone else out there at least equally nutty, or has more recordings by any single artist, band or composer? If so, who do you like, and how many of their albums have you collected and play? Miles Davis at thirty-three records and CD’s, comes in a not too distant second in my collection.

Hopefully this topic hasn’t been broached before here.

I don't collect, I buy (bought) to listen and pass on to my sons, so what's exiting the brain .... nearly all albums of

Dylan, Stones, Beatles, Ani DiFranco, Oscar Peterson, Terrance Blanchard, Cassandra Wilson, Van Morrison, Billy Joel, Kate Wolf, Eva Cassady, James Taylor, Patty Griffin, Nora Jones, Nancy Wilson,  omg, 

Well, then I got into Reel to Reel, (acquired content limited by the end of production 1980's), stopped buying CD's, then back to/upgraded Turntable, buying some new but mostly cleaning my existing LP stock, so I don't own or even know about the current output of favorite artists. Minor streaming, but to find new artists primarily using Pandora 'stations' feature.

did anyone mention Tony Bennett? I have CD's but even better, a lot of Tony R2R, saw him live around 6 times, when he could still fill Radio City with his voice without a mic. I think those days are over.

She/they are fabulous, but I think of her as Music Video, as their concerts are sooo well filmed/recorded,

I put the DVD on before going to my CD's.
When I stopped buying CD's, I started buying Music DVDs

#1 favorite is Sophie Milman, Montreal, holy smoke is it good!!!

I do very well buying used DVD's, LP's, R2R tapes, Books on Amazon, other places. I put them in a nice binder with the paper label/info, throw the hard case away.
