leonard cohen or metallica

probably metallica, if you count all the singles I bought when i was younger and stupid(er)

marienbad · 24-02-2014 02:16PM

About 50 by the Berlin Philharmonic ,does that count ? And about 50 different versions of Verdi and the same with Wagner,Berlioz etc.

All of Neil Young ,CSN,Springsteen up to about 1985 on vinyl as they came out, but I don't listen to them anymore.If I get nostalgic I have a browse through youtube, I might start with Harvest Moon and five hours later I end up with Jimmy Durante singing Make Someone happy and all stops in between

Linkin Park, own everything by them

quickbeam · 24-02-2014 02:42PM

Neil Young, but that's not difficult considering he's released more albums than (probably) anybody else I'm a fan of.

LoonyLovegood · 24-02-2014 02:45PM

Hmm...CD only, it's a tie between Westlife (my only excuse is I was six when they became huge, and had a mother who bought me an album every year) and All Time Low (7 each). But when I include my vinyl collection, it'd be paramore. (4 albums on vinyl, a singles collection, a rare acoustic single on vinyl, four studio albums, two live albums)

Radiohead

I own more than one physical copy of some of their albums too.

DazMarz · 24-02-2014 03:41PM

Iron Maiden; every studio and live album they ever released and most of their "Greatest Hits" albums and compilations. Loads of albums...

Steve Earle, Megadeth, Motley Crue, Richard Marx, Whitesnake, Def Leppard and AC/DC make up the rest of the artists for whom I'd have a lot of albums.

Ray Palmer · 24-02-2014 03:42PM

I must be one of the few old school collectors. I's be very hard pressed to figure out which artists I have the most of. I have complete discography of many bands on CD with some of the doubles of vinyl. Some artists I have more than one copy of the CD due to later release with extra tracks.

The selection is very varied too. Complete collections

Adam Ant

Led Zeppelin

Misfits

Rainbow

Slade

Yes

ELO

Simon and Garfunkel

Dead Milkmen

Leonard Cohen

Smiths

Miles Davis

Credence Clearwater

Beck

Herbie Hancock

Black Sabbath

Rolling Stones

The Monkees

They are just the ones I remember of the top of my head.

harry Bailey esq · 24-02-2014 03:42PM

i have everything that The Specials ever released,some on vinyl.

How many albums in a complete Miles Davis collection?

Sh1tbag OToole · 24-02-2014 03:49PM

No such thing as a paid for music collection round here.

Fcuk the RIAA maaaan!

Aphex · 24-02-2014 04:04PM

System of a down 5
Slipknot 4
Muse 3
Stereophonics 3
Pantera 2
Linkin Park 2

And the guitar books to go with the albums. (expensive little fcukers)

Then I discovered digital downloads

Menas · 24-02-2014 04:11PM

Oasis is top of my list.

Reason is that I absolutely loved their first two albums and then everytime they released a new one I bought it in the hope that it would be as good.

But they werent.

So I have 2 good Oasis albums and five muck ones.

I have paid for 6 Neil Young albums though, so he is a credible second.

Irish Guitarist · 24-02-2014 04:22PM

I buy any Jimi Hendrix CD I see that doesn't consist entirely of music I already have. Even if it's a compilation with just one previously unreleased live track I purchase it. He only released four albums when he was alive but countless albums have been released since he died. I just counted and I have 47 of his albums on CD, four of which are box sets (one of those box sets consists of interviews though so doesn't really count as music). I also have ten Jimi Hendrix DVDs and a few records. I have a couple of cassettes in a box somewhere too.

I have even more Elvis Presley CDs. I have 55, three of which are four-CD box sets. I have 36 Elvis DVDs and about seven or eight records.

I have loads of Pink Floyd too although I haven't counted them. If you include the individual members solo albums I probably have over forty CDs. I have a few DVDs and some records too. I have three different vinyl copies of Relics as well as having it on CD.

24-02-2014 04:23PM

Rammstein - all albums/singles including special editions

Metallica - all albums

Fear Factory - all albums

Korn - all albums

Eisbrecher - all albums

I used have a huge Prodigy collection which included all their albums, singles on both CD and vinyl and a lot of very very rare promo CDs they were on from the 90's. Now I just have all their albums on CD.

I don't get it.

padma · 24-02-2014 04:47PM

Most would be Bob Marley roughly about 60 cd's

Gregory Isaacs about 20 cd's

Alpha Blondy 10,

Peter Tosh 10,

Other reggae bands etc

and an assortment of world music, Irish and the wonderfully weird.

I'd have to have look but I think it is 30-40. It really depends what way you look at an artists work. Is it studio albums or do you include compilation and greatest hits? Sometimes a greatest hits is as important as a studio album or contains special versions.

One thing I resent the record companies for is the re-issues of all an artists albums with bonus tracks when they could just release one album with all the bonus tracks. At least some artists come out and say don't buy them as it is a rip off.

Ray Palmer · 24-02-2014 06:27PM

I just realised I bought some of the Russian Federation cds you could get for a brief period. They reissued entire album collections of artists with extra track and sold them really cheap. They weren't bootlegs but actually official licenced products but not meant to be sold outside the RF. They just do metal now albums now in the same way. Even to me the pickings are small

So of those alone I can remember

Rick Wakeman

Jean Michelle Jar

Marc Boland/T Rex

Rod Stewart

Yes Off shoots ( lots of varied names must be at least 10 albums )

Ludichrist

Laibach

Have about 2,000 cds and 500 lps.

Diemos · 24-02-2014 06:31PM

Deftones, Prodigy and Smashing Pumpkins
