Who's Number One?

[Hepcat]

I'm not sure what you mean exactly Hep??

I file my albums by artist. I don't make exceptions unless it's something like a compilation and I have no alternative. Therefore, my Doors albums are filed together, my Jethro Tull albums are filed together and my New York Philharmonic albums are filed together. I make no attempt to file by writer/composer.

My largest single group of albums is twenty by the Beatles. The Doors follow with eleven and the Animals and the Who with ten each.

I do file that way with my Rock and other genres, but Classical it's by Composer, that is the only way to keep them is some kind of order.

Between Beethoven, Haydn, Lizst, Mozart, Shostakovich, Brahms, Chopin, Schubert and others that is over 300 CD's easily, separating them by Symphony Orchestra or Conductor would not work for me.

separating them by Symphony Orchestra or Conductor would not work for me.

Especially with CDs of older recordings where they'll sometimes change ensembles on the same disc: same conductor, different orchestra; same orchestra, different conductor.

So which composer is number one in your massive library Craig?

I'll have to take a count, LG. Probably Beethoven, but Mozart can't be far behind.

I have forty albums by the Rolling Stones. That number includes neither 12" singles nor bootlegs.

You can count those too Fox,,,anything goes.

Groovy Man:

I probably have more CDs than radio station!

I takes two rooms to store my CD collection.

Wow! Are they all filed in order? Snakes & Ladders has 35,000 CDs but he says that they're in no particular order so he just plays them by grabbing a random pile.

Magic:

I am not counting my 8 tracks or cassetts.....they are in the closet and I am not in the mood to shake the dust off and start sneezing.

Eight tracks are way cool! Does your sound system still include a good quality eight track player or did it give up the ghost at some point? Come to think of it, you've never described your sound system.

Well, for official KISS releases, it would be:

19 Studio Albums
8 Live Albums
10 Compilations
3 DVDs (which of course are all multiple discs)
--------
40 seperate titles.

Then again, if you want to count multiple formats, this would easily hit 65-70.

My number is off by 4... I completely forgot about the 'solo' albums released in 1978

So that would be 23 studio albums and 44 for grand
total seperate releases that I own.

All my Cds and Vinyl are in storage but I do know that I have over 30 Kinks records and over 30 Kinks CDs.

Counting all the remastered Beatles they would definitely come in second.


I think Rolling Stones would come in third but I'm not sure.
