Top of my head I would bet the best represented artist in my collection would be Dave Brubeck. Pretty sure Zeppelin would be next and then Sabbath.

Heh, I likely have more Pavarotti albums than AC/DC. In fact, I know I do. And more Beethoven than Springsteen.

I got a shit load of bands I have more then 5 ...
Too many to sort out

WINNER :
Black Sabbath 33
Hawkwind 31
Deep Purple 27

Most album Extreme Metal:
Enslaved 13

Thats 104 albums with just 4 bands and the thing is I didn't even count multiple copies.. just counted one unit no matter how copies of Paranoid etc. I have.

I catalog EVERYTHING.. (ok, except "block" songs, 4 - 5 songs from that artist, which might count as a EP, but its not an official release so they dont count at all and one hit wonders)..

But as far as complete albums (no matter what format they were and everything Im counting is now MP3s. I dont count CDs or cassettes or vinyl records, cause theyre now MP3s, so it would be a double count, CD and MP3s)..

And yeah, theres TONS of stuff that I could add to THIS list... unfortunately they only made 2 - 4 albums.. nothing you can do unless they made albums more in the future.. maybe, or maybe not. *shrug*

But what kind of sucks tho.. I have 1,424 albums, 19,993 MP3s and frankly Im about to run out of artist and albums to get.. I cant think of what else is out there TO get.. So the question is, whats left.?

Oh sure, I could just get the entire catalog of any artist say like the Rolling Stones, but just having the greatest hits is all I want.. and doing the whole catalog is sort of dumb and time consuming as well and worse off probably wont listen to them anyway, not everything in that catalog is going to be worth it as well.. What album IS in question, then Ill look at Allmusic.com for reviews to decide.
