What band do you own the most CD's/Albums by?

I've always thought it was really cool when someone owns the complete discography (not counting bootlegs or really obscure stuff) of a band that has a lot of albums. I've got the complete discography of quite a few bands that only have like 8-9 albums, but not any bands that have like 15 albums or more. My closest would probably be Motorhead, whom I have 22 CD's by. Some other bands that I own quite a few CD's by are Metallica - 11, Queensryche - 11, Suicidal Tendencies - 10, Great White - 10, D.R.I. - 9, Bad Religion - 9 and Flotsam & Jetsam - 9.

Agathocles. I have close to 60 releases by them. Mostly splits with other bands, but several full lengths as well.

I don't think I have a complete discography of anyone but I have 15 by Megadeth and 13 by Iron Maiden.

It would be between Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, or King Diamond. For sure the most money I've spent on any one band would be Pink Floyd.

Without actually going downstairs to the Toho Vault and counting them I'd have to say it would be one of these:

Jethro Tull
The Angels/Angel City
Diamond Dogs
Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Less Than Jake

Not counting duplicates or bootlegs:

AC/DC - 23
Accept - 20
Aerosmith - 18
Anthrax - 26

Diamond Head - 16

Holy crap! I didn't even know some of those band had released that much stuff. I assume that includes singles, b-sides, alternate international versions and the like?

Holy crap!  I didn't even know some of those band had released that much stuff.  I assume that includes singles, b-sides, alternate international versions and the like?

I included singles, EPs, live albums, compilations and studio albums. I did not include different versions - for instance I have 5 different version for Riot - Fire Down Under but I only counted that as one. Don't tell my wife.

I have 25 Helloween all on cd,24 Rage all on cd,23 Overkill all on cd,and 59 KISS on CD and vinyl. Those are probably my largest collections.

Probably Priest or Maiden for me. I'll have to do a count.

Black Sabbath - I counted 27 albums off the top of my head, there are probably one or two I've forgotten about.

Tangerine Dream is probably a close second.

Also, Savatage because I have multiple copies of a lot of their CDs

I'm too lazy to go upstairs and count things up but I know I have a whole lotta stuff* by the following:

AC/DC
KISS
Maiden
Priest
Megadeth
Motorhead
Dokken
Metallica
Scorpions
Overkill
Raven
Ramones
W.A.S.P.
Savatage
Helloween

...and probably a few others I am forgetting...

(* "a whole lotta stuff" = 10 or more releases)

Did not do any count but the bands i own most cds by would be: accept, saxon, megadeth, nazareth, AC/DC, overkill, scorpions, black sabbath, iron maiden, kiss and judas priest.

Rush - 21
Dream Theater - 19
Marillion - 19
Pink Floyd - 15
Fish - 13
Threshold - 13

Black Sabbath - 32
Darkthrone - 23

Rateyourmusic actually has a feature that counts these for me:



To see my Rateyourmusic profile, click on my signature.

The Doors and Jimi Hendrix
I have close to 60 albums from each artist but that does include bootlegs.

Probably Overkill or Black Sabbath.

I have at least 17 from Cinderella, even though they only have 4 studio releases. If I counted bootlegs it would be well over 100.

Good question. I'm at work, but I'd say the answers would be:

Iron Maiden

Mortification

Grave Digger

KISS

I just noted that i have 19 cds by Rage! Studio albums and compilations included.
