Roger Clyne, both Refreshments & Peacemakers. Lots of Buffett.

Okay, Mr. Greatest Hits, you are NOT a fan! You might be an admirer, but just because you are someone who can listen to more than six Eagles songs in a row without getting distracted or switching to Jimmy Buffett, does not give you the right to label yourself, let alone give yourself a title like “Fan”. You canNOT call yourself a fan without some sacrifice (have you waited in line overnight and worked extra shifts to buy a ticket? Sat through the rain in a muddy field?) And, yes, you’ve got to be at least a little bit WEIRD about a band…
Riffing on John Finnemore’s “You Are NOT a Geek!” sketch.
I only ever had one by him, bought circa 1985. It was called “Five-0” because it was his fiftieth album. He’s had 81 albums, over a hundred singles and a surprising number of videos. I kind of prefer his kid, to tell the truth.
Beatles: 12 albums (British)
Jefferson Airplane: 10 albums
Mayo Thompson/Red Crayola: at least 11 albums
Moby Grape: 7 albums
Okay, Mister Seventies Hipster, but do you own a deck of Oblique Strategies cards?

Oh, you should see THIS then. Bizarre remote clarinet concert of the Overture, featuring many student clarinet virtuosi. Delightful!
[/QUOTE]Oh, thank you, thank you! That was wonderful.
One can go too far, though. I did manage to listen to An Index of Metals all the way through. Once. Not all of his stuff appeals to me.
If there’s anybody on planet earth whose largest number of albums is by Henry Cow then I feel really sorry for that person.
Cool, huh? I love the sound of a good clarinet, and those players were amazing.
I also love a good display of wit, and they provided enough to match the Overture to Candide, one of Bernstein’s wittiest compositions.
Dylan is certainly first, maybe 35 or so (this is all vinyl, most duplicated on CD).
After that, Costello, Beatles, and Stones. Lots of Jethro Tull as well.
mmm
I have a French Frith Kaiser Thompson album, that’s about as close as it gets for me.
Metallica. I don’t have all the live albums, but I’ve got their standards. It’s been a minute since I bought an album by anyone, though.
The closest I can get is seeing two of their members live - Chris Cutler with Pere Ubu and Fred Frith with Naked City.
Good one! We’ve seen Richard four or five times.
My wife has around 30 Richard Thompson CDs, one autographed, including a few bootlegs.
Without counting or looking up discographies, I’m going to say it’s probably Weird Al Yankovic. I have all of his studio albums, except for compilation/“greatest hits” releases (no need to buy those if I have everything already).
Jimmy Buffett, then Bruce Springsteen.
Thought so, that explains your signature 
I am not going to count, but it is either Leonard Cohen, Bowie, Dylan or the Beatles.
Some I have not heard for years but I am going to cling to them for as long as I can (my wife is the kind who loves to throw away superfluous things, and she is the one who defines the term. It’s a long battle. I am afraid she is winning - just… we move house too often)
Between Frank Zappa and Miles Davis. Got to see Miles once. Zappa 3 times; all with different lineups and all different songs and styles. Also saw the Grandmothers of Invention and Captain Beefheart.
