I’ve got all of: R.E.M. (to an embarrassing degree) Talking Heads They Might Be Giants Warren Zevon I was thinking might have all of a couple of others (like Neil Young and Sonic Youth), but the very fact that I’m not sure tells me I probably don’t. ---

Probably none but maybe The Replacements or Cracker. The only artist I ever made a point of collecting was Springsteen and that ended two albums ago. ---

Forgot to mention I have just about everything Steely Dan ever did, and also Donald Fagen as a solo artist. ---

Many of the better-known industrial rock bands. Nine Inch Nails, Foetus, Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Throbbing Gristle, Pigface, KMFDM, Front Line Assembly, etc. ---

Heart Beth Hart Pink Floyd Jethro Tull Ian Anderson Rossington Collins Band Lynyrd Skynyrd (if you don’t count anything after Ronnie died) Sarah McLachlan Tori Amos Working on Porcupine Tree. Lots of others I have most of… I have all of Ozzy’s minus the Jake E Lee stuff and the latest one. Those guitar players don’t do it for me. Black Sabbath, Rush, Yes, Allman Brothers, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Metallica. I am thinking about starting in on Oasis. The mixes are just so horrific on those that it is offputting but they know how to put a song together in a way that is very appealing to me. ---

Not nearly as many as I would have thought. Arcade Fire Big Star Nirvana OutKast Pavement Pixies Uncle Tupelo Velvet Underground (Lou Reed era only, apparently there is one album after that under the VU name) Whiskeytown There is only one Sonic Youth album I don’t own, and that’s just because I was totally broke when it came out and haven’t gotten around to it yet. Plus I have several of the SYR albums and b-side collections and singles, so I think that makes up for it. ---

Golden Earring, though there’s one cover album I haven’t been able to find that’s actually cheap. Iron Maiden Motorhead Gary Moore Thin Lizzy Judas Priest Twisted Sister I used to have a ton more, but I’ve gotten rid of a lot of stuff that I stopped listening to lately. ---

oh - I have all of the Bill Berry-R.E.M. albums. I also have _Up, Reveal,_ and I think that’s where I stopped. Sorry, guys. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-bands-artists-do-you-own-every-album-by/619574.md?page=3)
