Whose music do you have the most of?

Cafe Society
61

I’m not counting but I suspect it would be

Nanci Griffith

Frank Sinatra

Moya Brennan

Loreena McKennitt

but most of them were bought years ago

62

Total songs on hardrive: 13952

The most songs:

Bob Dylan 460
Grateful Dead 371 (this is an outlier, I am not a big dead fan)
The Beach Boys 363
David Bowie 264
Neil Young 243
Rolling Stones 241
T.Rex 237
Miles Davis and The Beatles 226 apiece

63

I bought the complete set of Beatles recordings on iTunes a year or so ago, so they’re likely #1. #'s 2 and 3 are likely Bach and Mozart, respectively.

64

Low
Elliott Smith
Radiohead

65

Willie Nelson
Johnny Cash
Tom Waits
Bruce Springsteen

66
  1. Ke$ha: approx. 150 songs (most of which have never been officially released), plus 15 or so demos and other versions of songs I already have

After Kesha, it gets much harder to say. Tom Petty (5 albums) is probably 2nd. Eminem and Michael Jackson are up there as well.

67

J.S. Bach
Gustav Mahler
Igor Stravinsky

Those are my top 3.

68

Mine is Pink Floyd. I have all their studio albums on cassette, plus all their albums on CD except More and Division Bell. Plus if you’re counting this I also have the Syd Barrett box set, 2 Gilmour albums, 1 Roger Waters album, and the Saucerful of Secrets book.

Second would be Coheed and Cambria. Their 6 studio albums, plus the Second Stage Turbine Blade graphic books, plus the Year of the Black Rainbow novel, plus the Prize Fighter Inferno album (a solo album by Claudio Sanchez which should really count because it is set in the same world as the Co+Ca albums.)

69

Bob Dylan.

70

The Beatles (700+ tracks)
Grateful Dead (600+)
Bob Dylan (400+)
The Pogues (300+)

The rest of this list all have around 250 or so tracks:
Steve Earle
Richard Thompson
Pink Floyd
Dave Alvin
David Byrne/Talking Heads
Neil Young/CSNY/Buffalo Springfield
Tom Waits
Bruce Springsteen

71

I didn’t realize until I saw this OP, but I currently (since I lost my iPad and replaced my laptop) have no music in my possession whatsoever. Too many moves, divorces, and other life events I guess. I listen to Pandora.

72

When I used to keep track of this, it was Tom Waits and Johnny Cash, who were roughly neck-and-neck and would leap frog one another from time to time. I’d be surprised if anyone’s overtaken them since.

73

My I-pod is at work, so I can’t check, but it’s probably Rob Thomas/Matchbox followed by Pink.

74

Not that easy to measure, but Mozart appears to lead the old dead guys with 1010 tracks. In rock n’ roll, surprisingly it’s NRBQ (231 songs) closely followed by The Who and Tom Petty.

75

by duration:


J.S. Bach 27 hours 
Beethoven 15 hours
Debussy   12 hours
Ravel      8 hours
76

Mine are (several include duplicates between albums, alternate versions, remixes, instrumental versions, live versions, etc) …

  1. Depeche Mode - 554 tracks
  2. Erasure - 440 tracks
  3. Nine Inch Nails - 285 tracks
  4. Mesh (UK) - 246 tracks
  5. VNV Nation - 195 tracks
  6. Goldfrapp - 192 tracks
  7. Anything Box - 185 tracks
  8. The Echoing Green - 150 tracks
  9. Death Cab for Cutie - 149 tracks
  10. And One - 131 tracks
77

in no particular order I would have to guess the following top three

Dolly Parton
Donna the Buffalo
The Beatles

78

If you count by “tracks,” a composer like Mozart would tally up a disproportionate number, because so many of his works were symphonies, sonatas, concertos, etc., each made up of several movements, each of which counts as a separate “track.”

79

I am trying to figure out how you have more than 700 Beatles tracks. Boots? Stereo and mono?

80

Okay, I finally remembered to look it up - my top three are:

Prince - 384 songs
Chris Isaak - 116 songs
Eric Clapton - 94 songs

I have an Elvis Presley bunch of recordings that are a billion tiny little tracks, so I’m not counting that. :slight_smile:
