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.

Elliotbenewcombjr, I’m with you Elliot, I buy to listen to artists. When I find an artist I really like though, I keep going until I find everything of his or her’s you could hope was good. That takes a bit of time with artists who were more prolific. With finite resources like most of us, sometimes I feel when buying CD’s I might be overdoing it on the collecting side, and missing out on buying new or different genres, or artists material. I suppose I should just win the lottery, then spend indiscriminately on CD’s.

In the neighborhood of 60 Coltrane LP's, run up by Miles, Bach, Neil Young, Smog/Bill Callahan, PJ Harvey, Joy Division/New Order, Beatles, Arvo Part, and countless others with several each.
Three pages of comments and not one fan of Alison Krauss and Union Station? I understand that with only 14 studio albums plus numerous joint ventures they don't fit the O.P,'s criteria of 43+ but still.
12 million albums sold and 27 grammy awards you would think she would have a few fans. FWIW, she has assembled one of the tightest and most talented group of musicians I've ever seen and heard. 
One of the few bands that sound exactly the same on stage as on recordings.

40 or so King Crimson and R. Fripp in his many guides. Brian Eno solo and collaborating. Bowie, of course.. Steven Wilson with Porcupine Tree, as Bass Communion ( Continuum ll spinning as I write ). K.C.live is sound to behold.
