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.

- Stravinsky (too many Rite of Springs. 28 at last count, most on vinyl. BUT I DON’T CARE!!!)

- Bartok (and still don’t have a minty shaded dog Concerto for Orchestra)

- Kinks (if you don’t know their work from the Banned in America phase - 1965 to1969 - and their RCA catalog in the early 70s, YOU ARE A LUCKY DOG. Go buy them all on vinyl RIGHT NOW!)

 must own every album, if not, illpass on some bands.


Ahh.
 Complete Van Morrison. Well just learned that I’m short two, to be honest.
Complete Grateful Dead.. or as complete as I can figure... I think there are unknowable no.s of GD records. They seem to propagate on a daily basis.
R.E.M., Led Zep, U2, Replacements-w/ Paul Westerberg solo and spinoffs, The Who, Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker- all David Lowery, Tom Petty with and without the Heartbreakers, Crowded House- w/ Neil Finn solo and with brother, Beatles, Soundgarden/Audioslave-Chris Cornell solo, Paul Simon

Whats interesting to me is that the only artist I have a complete album collection of is R.E.M.  ---even the clunkers, cause lets face it, all artists release some crap that collects dust.

And the other surprise as I went through my collection is that the Stones didn't make the cut.

Buckethead

270+ albums

Sometimes his whole post-2010 discography goes on sale as a group for about $200. So I bought it.
