Bands/Groups of which you own their entire collection?

**Shizelbs** · 07-13-2007 03:45 PM

So, lets have it. What bands, groups, musicians, artists, do you own everything or damn near everything they've put out?

I'll go first:

Dilated Peoples
Nirvana
Queens of the Stone Age
Beastie Boys
Muse
Mos Def
Beck
Rage Against the Machine
Led Zeppelin

I'll add more as I think of them.

**phuz** · 07-13-2007 03:52 PM

Tool
Nine Inch Nails
Modest Mouse
Beastie Boys
Rush
Rage Against The Machine
Richie Hawtin/Plastikman
The Mars Volta
Pink Floyd
Faith No More
Tomahawk

Edited to remove MP3's (I don't understand why they wouldn't count!) - I know there are more.... just gotta think of 'em...

**Jstas** · 07-13-2007 03:57 PM

Weird Al
Pearl Jam
Counting Crows
Collective Soul
Train
The Presidents of the United States of America
Foo Fighters
Stone Temple Pilots
The Offspring
The Wallflowers
The Union Underground
Aerosmith
Big 'n' Rich
Chris Isaak
Creedance Clearwater Revival
Eagles
Goo Goo Dolls (even their old punk stuff)
Jewel
Jet
Jimmy Buffett
Jimmy Eat World
John Mayer
Julian Lennon
Led Zepplin
Linkin Park
Live
Los Lonely Boys
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Nickleback
Creed
Ozzy Osbourne (except the new one, that sucks)
Pink Floyd
Police
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Santana
Soundgarden

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** · 07-13-2007 03:59 PM

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** · 07-13-2007 04:03 PM

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

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** · 07-13-2007 04:29 PM

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** · 07-13-2007 04:37 PM

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** · 07-13-2007 04:50 PM

Off the top of my head,
NIN
Nirvana
Tool

And a few one hit wonders

**Willow** · 07-13-2007 05:31 PM

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

**venomclan** · 07-13-2007 07:40 PM

TOOL, nothing more needed.

**BottomFeeder** · 07-13-2007 07:55 PM

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** · 07-13-2007 08:45 PM

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** · 07-13-2007 08:53 PM

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

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.

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** · 07-14-2007 06:44 PM

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