[Jstas]

I know there are more but that's just what I have ripped to MP3 on my laptop at work. There a few lesser known bands with only one or two albums. I have about 3200 MP3's at work and over 4500 at home and I only have half my CD collection ripped.

[zombie boy 2000]

Smiths/Morrissey
The Cure
Man or Astroman?
The Pixies
Dizzee Rascal
The Flaming Lips
Electric Six
The Talking Heads
Beck
The Clash
Trans-Am
Bjork/Sugarcubes
My Morning Jacket
Radiohead

... I'm sure a whole lot more. I'll have to go look at my collection.

PS Phuz... I would be greatly impressed if you owned the entire Johnny Cash catalog. I would hazard to guess that it's over a 100 different albums.

[Shizelbs]

Read the title of the thread. Albums you OWN. MP3s don't count. Do NOT make me repeat myself!!!!! :)

[zombie boy 2000]

I don't own an MP3 player and I don't burn CD's:p

And get off my lawn!

Read my post again. I OWN THE CD'S. I find it difficult to transport over 700 CD's to work with me and rip my CD's to MP3 so I can play them through Winamp on my computer at work.

Don't tell me to read the post when it's clear you didn't do that yourself.

Hey! Whenever this happens it makes me think of this episode of the Simpsons where Chief Wiggum says to Homer, "You're under arrest for violating code 782: making a police officer look stupid."

Anyways, fair enough. You own a lot of CDs then. Awesome.

[cstpeter]

Most of my "collections" are 2-3 albums by a band, which doesn't count. I only have a few true collections:

Radiohead
Wilco
Modest Mouse
Beck
Built to Spill

Kinda weak. Guess I gotta buy more music.

[madmax]

Alice Cooper
Michael Jackson
Jimmy Smith
Partridge Family
Carpenters
Fat Boys
NWA
Martin Denny
Maynard Furgusen
Lovin Spoonful
Marilyn Manson

There might be an album missing somewhere but in general I try to pick up most of the available recordings.

[Face]

Off the top of my head,
NIN
Nirvana
Tool
Mars Volta
Muse
Anthrax
Pantera
Ministry
And a few one hit wonders

[Willow]

Well I have all the Doors on Vinyl including a bootleg of a live concert.

[venomclan]

TOOL, nothing more needed.

[BottomFeeder]

First, allow me to bow before the album heavy Jstas.

As for me...
Jackson Browne...er, nothing else comes to mind. Okay, so Jstas sets the high water mark & I set the low!

[George Grand]

There's so much stuff out there now, it is really difficult to say you own an artists entire output. Maybe one-hit wonders, or two album bands.

I have a couple thousand cd's, maybe a lot more, I stopped counting awhile back. I don't think I can say I have any substantial artists entire output. The Stones I have complete up till around 1971 when The Glimmer Twins showed up. Zappa? He released 60 albums, maybe I have 35-45, mostly the early Mothers and orchestral stuff. I might have the entire output of Tom Scott & The L.A. Express, and Captain Beefheart.

[woofiepaws]

Fleetwood Mac
Dead Kennedys
Zepplin
Enya
Dire Straits
Sex Pistols
Zappa
Springsteen
U2

I am not the high water mark by far. I just like to grab all the albums by artists I really like. My music collection is pretty sporadic and my tastes are equally as wide ranging.

[Shizelbs]

Well your list of completed collections is pretty impressive. Makes you wonder how long the list of incomplete collections goes on for.

[Silverti]

Off the top of my head:

Def Leppard
Billy Idol
Billy Joel
The Police
Sting
NiN
Nirvana
Pearl Jam
DJ Quickilver
NWA

[danger boy]

The Smiths

there may be a few more. but i rarely buy the whole catalog of any group.

[wingnut4772]

Not too much..

Pearl Jam
Talking Heads
Sarah Brightman
...

[mhw58]

[QUOTE=Shizelbs;667648]So, lets have it. What bands, groups, musicians, artists, do you own everything or damn near everything they've put out?

Beatles
John Lennon
Led zeppelin
Creedence Clearwater
Jimi Hendrix
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Radiohead
Pink Floyd

Mike

[jmwest1970]

My taste varies from moment to moment so I only have the full catalog for The Police. After watching VH-1's classic album rockumentary on Steve Miller's Fly Like An Eagle, I may go ahead a pick up the rest of his catalog as well.

[jflail2]

Floyd, Tool, Pantera and Mastodon come to mind, but I'm sure there are tons of others.

[duksbak]

Tool
A Perfect Circle
Metallica
Nirvana
Heart
NiN
Megadeth

[ninerbj]

RUSH
TRAGICALLY HIP
NUGENT
PINK FLOYD

Lot's of ZAPPA (too many to count huh Mr. Grand)

You can sure tell by who has what in their collection just how old they really are. lol

[Zero]

Incubus
Linkin Park
Weird Al Yankovic (couldn't make that one up)
Lacuna Coil

[George Grand]

No, not too many to count, but some to me are just boring as hell. I like Frank's work more than any other artist I've ever heard, but some of the smutty stuff (I'm no prude) and some of the later albums ("Listen to how fast my NEW band can play my OLD music.") just don't do a damn thing for me. I like everything he did that didn't have lyrics a lot more than the stuff that did.

[NeilGabriel]

I'll go first:

Dilated Peoples

why do you get to go first....? Does it count if band only had 1 cd/album?

[apc]

Jimmy Buffett
Pink Floyd

[chumlie]

Beatles
Doors
Zeplin
Cars
Floyd
White stripes
Bryan Ferry
Most of Roxy Music
The Band
20 plus of Neil Young
10 plus of Zappa, Tom Waits. Bowie, Lou Reed

[Dawgfish]

Rush, Stevie Ray Vaughn, The Police, and Zeplin are the ones I can think off right off the top of my head. I think I have most or all of John Coltrane, but I've heard there's some hard to find JC albums out there that I haven't confirmed that I have or may not have. I'm sure there are some others, but that's all I can think of now. I'm currently working on completing my Pink Floyd, Miles Davis, Rachmaninoff, and J.S. Bach collections.

you own ALL fz?! is that syd's bike in your name? that's impressive! i have maybe 20 or so fz titles and i'm certifiable!!!

[bikezappa]

My wife worked near a record store, remember those, and she would bring home all the new releases by Frank.

I even have about 20 extra early LPs because I wore them out and bought new ones.

I'm also certifiable.

[codyc1ark]

Sigh, my music collection will never be what it was. I had 2 100 soft cases in a truck that we're more than full, both stolen, along with a sweet amp/sub, radar, phone charger. Topping that, they broke my seat, and DREMELED my head unit out.

I was most proud of my Nirvana collection, I had every bootleg I could get my hands on, and every one of their CD's. My two favorite we're the last show they ever did, and I had a double-disc live German show that was amazing for even them. I haven't had the motivation to try and rebuild the collection since, but its coming along slowly.

Oh yeah, this happened the same night my grandma died. Made for a great morning.
