Bruce Springsteen - all albums. Billy Joel - all albums. John Mellencamp - all albums. Weird Al Yankovic, up to the point where I didn’t recognize any of his parodies anymore. Jim Croce - his three hit albums before he died. Boston - I stuck with them through _Corporate America_. I also bought Barry Goudreau’s album, Orion the Hunter, and Return to Zero (Goudreau & Brad Delp). Nerf Herder - all albums. The Presidents of the United States of America - all albums. ---

Violent Femmes, since they’ve had so few, and I appreciate their style. I’m generally not an album buyer. Thinking back, I may have the entire catalogue of a couple of 80’s alternative bands… ---

The Beatles. The Dead, except for a couple of stinkers. Dylan, ditto. I own multiple copies of all of Gustav Mahler’s symphonies, plus the song cycles. ---

The Velvet Underground - not just the four studio albums, but all the posthumous albums, box sets, important bootlegs, and seventy or so solo records released until about 2005. Pink Floyd - I have all the studio and live albums (but not the super deluxe editions) up until that instrumental record that came out a few years ago. The Byrds The Beatles and John Lennon (not every outtake album, but the basic catalogues) Captain Beefheart - he’s another one with a messy discography, but I have all the records released during the time he was working as a musician. Lana Del Rey (the only current artist I’m obsessively collecting) ---

> [@Shoeless](#): > > Led Zeppelin - I had all their albums at one time but some are missing now. Led Zeppelin - I bought the box sets, which had almost all the songs they issued, then I ripped them to my PC and rearranged the tracks into their original album order, each album in its own folder. ---

Jim Croce Bread CCR Emmylou Harris, six albums starting with Pieces of the Sky through Roses in the Snow. I’ve bought a couple more. White Shoes is a great album from 1983. I haven’t tried buying everything she’s released. Bonnie Raitt late 80’s / early 90’s hit albums, Nick of Time, Luck of the Draw, Longing in Their Hearts. Her older stuff from the 70’s is a different style. ---

Kyuss - 4 studio albums and a split with Queens of the Stone Age. Thee are a few more that almost count, but I pretty much stopped buying albums when streaming came around: Fu Manchu Godflesh Electric Wizard ---

I have three, all of which I follow on social media so that I can be notified when a new album comes out and mark my calendar for when albums are released (and sometimes to pre-order): 1. Hanson 2. Andrew McMahon in all his different incarnations (Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, Jack’s Mannequin, Something Corporate) 3. Old Dominion ---

> [@LLCoolL](#): > > **Collected all up to a point, then stopped dead:** > [ul] > [li]Bruce Springsteen (through _Lucky Town/Human Touch_)[/li][/ul] If you buy no other Springsteen album, I wholeheartedly recommend you get _The Rising_ (2002), his first album in like 18 years with the full E Street Band. It was written partly in response to 9/11. It’s a mixture of introspective songs, light optimistic tunes, and flat-out rock ‘n’ roll party songs. There’s not a bad song on the album. ---

Roxy Music, up to the break-up after Siren, including Viva! (the live album) and Manifesto (the first album back together, which persuaded me to stop). David Bowie, up to Heroes (except Pin-ups, the album of covers) John Cale, up to Honi Soit. Hell’s teeth, I even bought [Church of Anthrax](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Anthrax). I kinda got less obsessive as I got older. j ---

The Beatles John Lennon Led Zeppelin AC/DC Iron Maiden Rush Kiss Pink Floyd - up to Division Bell, I think Queen Eagles Don Henley Tesla The Ramones Triumph Beastie Boys Black Sabbath (up to Live Evil) Ozzy Osbourne Collective Soul Kim Mitchell The Kinks Megadeth Men at Work/Colin Hay James Taylor Gordon Lightfoot The Tragically Hip GnR Jack Johnson Blue Rodeo NOFX Goldfinger Van Halen Sammy Hagar - Solo/Van Hagar/& the Waboritas/Chickenfoot/The Circle, etc. John Cougar Mellencamp Sublime There’s also a bunch of artist that I have most of their stuff, like The Stones, Bowie, Judas Priest, etc… ---

Rory Gallagher. There wasn’t a Rory Gallagher recording that I found that I didn’t buy. Eventually, I went through the catalog one by one and made sure I didn’t miss any. Not a one of them was a disappointment, either! ---

**Coheed and Cambria** I know they’re not a household name - but they are my favorite band. They’ve released \*\*9 studio albums \*\*and I’ve got them all. Also have some live material and have have lost track of the number of times I’ve seen them in concert.
