Linda Ronstadt, including a few bootlegs (yes, there are Linda Ronstadt bootlegs)
Hah, that’s funny! I have exactly the same Led Zep collection sans bootlegs :D. Don’t tell me you also have the studio albums, The Song Remains The Same and Coda on vinyl and the BBC Sessions and How The West Was Won on CD…
I have such eclectic tastes, I’d be suprised if I had as many “most” as you folks. I do have two different recordings of the Candide score – the original Broadway cast album and a studio orchestral version conducted by Bernstein – because I could not choose which I liked best. I had to get both I love it so much.
I own the first and second Fugs albums. Does that count?
Oh, you should see THIS then. Bizarre remote clarinet concert of the Overture, featuring many student clarinet virtuosi. Delightful!
You should really check out Tenderness Junction and It Crawled Into My Hand, Honest. What the Fugs sounded like with good production values.
PS - the CD reissue of The Fugs First Album contains the priceless “The Rhapsody Of Tuli”, which is required listening for Fugs afficianados.
Yeah, I think we have a couple of Ian Anderson solo albums and even tried that Martin Barre solo effort. No Fairport Convention, though. Sometimes the side roads lead to dark, difficult places, e.g., Nick Mason’s Fictitious Sports, the less said about the better.
The thing is, eclectic taste and having “the most of” many artists are not exclusive. That’s why I’ve never owned an expensive car :D.
Not sure but it might be Steve Earle or Metallica. If you count LPs and cassettes that I can’t currently listen to, Yes might be a contender.
:D:D Either my friend or I bought that, I can’t remember because that album has been gone for a long time, but for years after that, suddenly and apropos of nothing, one of us would blurt out “The choke must be broke!”
God that was awful, but at least it was better than Keith Moons solo album.
Actually, now that you mention it… 33 Genesis albums, 26 Peter Gabriel, 38 Steve Hackett, 8 Tony Banks, and 2 Mike Rutherford. I guess Genesis is in the running too. You’re right, I really shoulda thought of them in the first place…
American jazz-pop vocalist Wesla Whitfield, who I just looked up and learned she died in 2018. She was putting out an album a year for a while there and I have most of them, until I completely stopped buying music.
Tom Waits. Around 20 or so in total.
Queensryche.
All their studio albums up to and including “Hear in the Now Frontier”, which I didn’t like. Also “Livecrime” and a tribute album of Queensryche covers.
I don’t have anything post-Geoff Tate or anything put out by Geoff Tate.
72 by B.B. King. Second place: 11 by Lyle Lovett. 6 by the Stones, 5 by the Kinks and 4 by k.d. lang.
My BB King collection included some double and quintuple albums. An adjusted number is 66 albums.
I’m the first one to say, ‘Rush’? Jeez. Dozens? Hundreds if you count unreleased live recordings. Plus the solo albums and places they’ve guested or been remixed on. I’m just that way.
When I was younger I was a Queen completist so I have a lot of that including the original Smile album that was released in Japan.
I have a lot of John Lee Hooker, Chuck Berry and George Thorogood.
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.
Mary Prankster. Again, everything she’s ever released.
U2.
Everclear.
My age is sort of obvious, I think.
Just wanted to highlight the eclecticism of people here.
I love this thread, because I’m getting so many homework assignments… as in, new music to investigate. Like, I had no idea that Terry Taylor (who basically gave the finger to a repressive Christian music “system” in the 70s) went on to do other stuff… I’ll check that out!
The Swirling Eddies? Cool… oh, looks like he kickstarted another Daniel Amos album a couple of years ago.
Back in the days of cassettes it was Jimmy Buffett. But when I switched to CDs, I bought the box set and a couple of the live albums and called it a day.
As far as CDs go, probably Hank Willimas, Jr. Maybe 10-12 CDs. Oh, and there was that **Elvis **box set that has I think 12 CDs. I actually have a lot of CDs, but spread it around rather than glom on to one particular artist. I think I bought the first 10 or so each from Garth Brooks and Clint Black and Dwight Yoakam.
If you count classical, most likely Bach.
I don’t know how I wound up responding to myself in post #71. It was supposed to be in response to EinsteinsHund.
