It would be complicated to count up all the tracks, because some of them I have only on compact disks, some of them only as computer files, and some in both places. I’m pretty sure that if I did tally up everything, I have more tracks by Indigo Girls than any other artist. And it’s fine for you to start a sentence with a conjunction or end it with a preposition if you want to. (But please try to spell _whose_ right). ---

Zappa for me too. I have everything he did–getting close to 100 albums now–almost all of it in multiple formats and multiple editions, and including many, many collectibles and oddities. The artist who has the most _different_ albums in my collection is undoubtedly Zappa’s neighbor in the Z section, John Zorn. I don’t have everything he’s released, but I have a hell of a lot of it, and he is insanely prolific. ---

Pink Floyd. I have all of the official albums except _More_, _Ummagumma_, and _A Delicate Sound of Thunder_ (which I do own on VHS). It used to be the Beatles who I had everything of except the Anthology, but I got rid of their early albums except for _Please, Please Me_ because I never listened to them. ---

… you have more stuff by Patsy Cline than I have music in total. My answer is jointly Mozart, Beethoven, John Williams. I have two of each by those guys. ---

I have over 800 Springsteen bootlegs, in addition to all the officially released tracks. No idea how many tracks in total, but it must be over twenty thousand. Most officially released stuff would probably be either Willie Nelson or Johnny Cash. I have more albums by Cash, but there’s more compilations there, so probably more duplicated tracks. ---
