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.

Speaking of Rodney Crowell side projects, do you have the CICADAS album? It's well worth your while. The other members were Steuart Smith on guitars, Michael Rhodes on bass & Vince Santoro on drums. Mostly original tunes along with a smokin' cover of "Tobacco Road!"
The Beatles; Lloyd Cole (+ Commotions); The Kinks (+ Ray Davies);
Joni Mitchell; Morrissey (+ Smiths); Richard Thompson & 
Paul Westerberg (+ Replacements).

@Marlin38: + 1 on HDCD recordings!
@skyscraper, if you're looking for some Richard Thompson releases that feature good guitar playing, I recommend that you seek out some of his "officially sanctioned bootlegs," such as:

"Duck Napped;" "More Guitar" or "Semi - Detached Mock Tudor."

These came out 15+ years ago, so you'll have to find used copies somewhere; but, they are well worth the effort!
