Which bands do you know every song by?

Which of your favorite bands can you identify every song in their catalog, just by hearing a snippet of it or seeing the title? (Up to a certain extent, at least, if they have jillions of albums…say 90% or so.) I’ll start:

AC/DC (up to the 90’s)
Ayreon
Black Sabbath (except a few Tony Martin ones)
Dream Theater
ELP (incl. Powell)
Genesis (up until Phil Collins left)
Iron Maiden, except “Fear of the Dark” and the Blaze era. Which is below 90%, but I don’t count those as part of their catalogue anyway – it’s like another band stole their name for a few years. :slight_smile:
Led Zeppelin
Metallica (until they sold out, sued everyone in sight, and sucked)
The Police
Queen
Rush (90’s stuff is a bit patchy)
Styx (up to “Kilroy”)
Van Halen
Yes

My own new EBM (that means Electronic Body Music - think industrial without the guitars ya philistines) outfit.

Muggins get to bve the vocalist, and lyricist, so I know 'em all. :smiley:

Is that considered cheating?

My list is pretty short (although in reality it may be longer than I’d think). I’d say:

Tool
Led Zeppelin
Nine Inch Nails

And, I’d have to agree with your “Metallica (until they sold out, sued everyone in sight, and sucked)”

There are more, I’m sure, but I’m trying not to count bands who only have or had something like 3 albums or fewer. . .

Oh lord, my age is showing. I haven’t even HEARD of some of these bands you guys are talking about.

Me, it’s just the Beatles. Always and forever.

15

Jeez, I don’t think there are any. That’s kind of depressing. Serious lack of knowledge compared to y’all. Maybe Op Ivy, but they only put out one album. Albeit a long one.

16

Crowded House and the Beatles.

And most of Split Enz

sublime

KRS-ONE

It was a lot more in high school but I’ve diversified my portfolio a lot more since then and it’s rare to find a new band/artist that you just HAVE to hear everything by these days.

I feel your pain, man.

DeadOman : Guns and Roses were on my unpublished list. They rock!
Funny sidebar: my husband is a firefighter for the city of Dallas, and we attended a boxing match between Dallas police officers and firefighters last year. The event was called…
Guns and Hoses. :smiley:

Smashing Pumpkins…

Well I dont know every song, there’s a few hundred. I know of and have heard every song though, which is a feat in and of itself.

Nine Inch Nails
Mesh
Anything Box
