Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer

I went and purchased two more John Coltrane CD’s, "Blue Train" and "Traneing In", in spite of, relative to other artists, having way too many of his albums already. I do love his music and just now counted having forty-eight of his albums, not even including the ones he recorded with Miles Davis.

Is there anyone else out there at least equally nutty, or has more recordings by any single artist, band or composer? If so, who do you like, and how many of their albums have you collected and play? Miles Davis at thirty-three records and CD’s, comes in a not too distant second in my collection.

Hopefully this topic hasn’t been broached before here.

R.E.M., Led Zep, U2, Replacements-w/ Paul Westerberg solo and spinoffs, The Who, Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker- all David Lowery, Tom Petty with and without the Heartbreakers, Crowded House- w/ Neil Finn solo and with brother, Beatles, Soundgarden/Audioslave-Chris Cornell solo, Paul Simon

Whats interesting to me is that the only artist I have a complete album collection of is R.E.M.  ---even the clunkers, cause lets face it, all artists release some crap that collects dust.

And the other surprise as I went through my collection is that the Stones didn't make the cut.

Buckethead

270+ albums

Sometimes his whole post-2010 discography goes on sale as a group for about $200. So I bought it.

I own the catalogs of Coltrane, Davis and Herbie Hancock.
Then, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones for Pop/Rock.

Happy Listening!

Between CDs, SACDs and albums - I have over 200 Bob Dylan pieces. Every single official release (sans maybe a few recent compilations) including studio, live and all the bootleg series sets. My favorite album is "Blood on the tracks."
I've seen him in concert 14 times as well. 

In second place is Queen (my favorite band of all time) with 130+ pieces combined. My favorite albums are "The Works" (that's when I fell in love with Queen at age 8), "The Miracle" (the first Queen CD I owned) and of course "A Night At The Opera.
