Your Biggest Collection of One Artist?

never really gone in for collecting individual artists, my completeism only tends to go as far as getting one copy of each of the artists studio album, thats about it.

So my biggest collection would be

then

The Charlatans (UK) and The Doors (every studio album)

buddha
chesire cat
dude ranch

mark tom and travis show
take off your pants and jack it
blink 182 (self titled album)

then i have 5 mixed cd's of my favorite songs and i have a burned cd of their first demo cd called flyswatter

so 13 cds

 

I have every Pink Floyd album except Relics, Ummagumma, and Momentary Lapse of Reason (in the case of MLOR I'm just not a fan of that album).

 

Um...of Commercially released music? Bootleg-wise...the Grateful Dead, no contest.

 

Nick Cave, Jane's Addiction, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Madonna

 

i would have to say that it's my Guns N' Roses or my Beatles collection

 

Sonic Youth

Leonard Cohen
The Doors
Neil Young

 

Led Zeppelin, definitely.

I have all of their official releases, (obviously).

I also have around 250 of their concerts in bootleg form and a plethora of pro-shot and audience shot videos from throughout their career ...

I like to think of it as a healthy obsession.. lol

 

I guess it's The Beatles. Thirty-one albums (and a number of extra copies! )

 

Its gotta be Phish. Most of their studios and a number of live shows.

 

Either Dylan (all of his stuff from Freewheelin to Street Legal(excluding that god awful Dylan album)) or Wayln Jennings whihc is alot of his cd's and a Box set of this early years that was 258$.

 

Pink Floyd:
Piper at the gates of dawn,
Animals,
Dark side of the moon,
The Wall,
The Wall(film)

 

uh... im good for about half of that... no tapes tho. but i do have american beauty, europe 72, and workingmans on vynil.

 

Phish, most of the studio releases but then you go into all the live shows

 

I have many complete collections, probably the biggest one I have is Kiss and the Grateful Dead.

Plus loads of vinyl copies... loads of singles... and there is still stuff left of my list... two Tin Machine cds... the Buddha of Suburbia soundtrack... a couple of live cds... plus then there are the new special anniversary editions being released to fleece more money out of the obssessive fans... not that I'm one of them you understand?...

Fly...

I have just about every Supertramp too

DVD Supertramp: the story so far...

It's an obsession, but it's pleasing.

The complete American release catalogs of:
(not including best ofs, anthologies, rereleases, video, etc.)

Led Zeppelin (100% virgin vinyl) + about a half dozen boots
Pink Floyd (both vinyl and digital) + about 20 boots
Talking Heads + David Byrne + about 15 boots
The Beatles (almost all)
Nirvana + about a half dozen boots
Smashing Pumpkins + about 10 boots
and about a thousand hours of live Grateful Dead

It was 20 years ago today... that the music collection got under way.

 

Pink Floyd all the way man...
