Needles & Grooves

I think Coltrane and Miles take up the most shelf space for me. Not sure exact counts. There’s a lot of Bruce too.

Is there a way to sort the collection on Discogs to check those numbers easily? I'm curious now but way to lazy to count them individually, lol

I’d imagine it’s be Dylan; Beatles; Springsteen. That said I have those 4 Bowie boxes so he’d be up there too even though it’s just 4 on the shelf and actually the same with Kate Bush. I have a lot of Neil Young too. If we include CDs and vinyl mixed my oasis collection must be 60 or 70...

Bowie and The Beatles

@gafacaode I just ended up thinking of the names I thought I might have the most of then searching them in the collection section of Discogs and adding them up.

Deerhoof - 16 LPs. Kate Bush is maybe second place?

I’m surprised at 31 Queen if I’m honest, I didn’t think they’d released that much! Unless you include singles, my tonne of oasis stuff includes all their CD singles and some vinyl ones too...

@Joe Mac years ago l I was able to pick up queen albums for 50p a time at carboots etc (which is also why I have quite a few Bowie and Beatles records). So I have all 15 of their studio albums then a ton of live albums, japan-only albums, interview albums, etc. If I included singles/7"/12"/Picture discs/flexi-discs it would be 56 according to discogs......and thats before their solo work

Ok, I'm going to count this. Do multiple copies count? As in I have like 3 different pressings of Sticky Fingers, do I count 1 or 3?

Since I'm a Bowie competitionist, definitely Bowie. Like @Joe Mac, I got a lot of records at thrift stores when you could still get good cheap records, so I also have a ton of Beatles, Billy Joel, and Elton John.

Top three most collected artists: Fu Manchu (15), Minus The Bear (12), JEFF The Brotherhood (11)

David Bowie, Gorillaz, Radiohead and the Beatles for me

Well, there were some surprises! FWIW, I've counted in different pressings of the same album: Bowie 44; Stones 43; Beatles: 19; Talking Heads: 17; Hoodoo Gurus: 15; Miles Davis 15; King Gizzard: 14 and Dylan at 13. Did not expect to see Dylan at 8th. Now if I weren't counting the different pressings, Dylan would jump 2 positions.
Conclusion: I need more Dylan

@gafacaode 44 Bowie is super impressive, its like a whole kallax shelf (official unit of measure)!

Blur as well actually; Discogs tripped me up since the Blur 21 box set is considered one release

I believe my top is the Beatles, but I don't remember exact numbers for them, then probably Gorillaz at 6, then System of A Down and Metallica are tied at 4, then maybe slipknot with 3 of their albums and a single, followed by Avenged sevenfold with 3 of their albums

So I have 26 Dylan (I thought that would be well in 30s actually...); 20 Beatles; when you explode the boxes I have 51 Bowie...

18 Beatles / 13 Tom Waits / 13 Led Zeppelin / 10 Bob Dylan
Next tier - Bill Evans, Wilco, Rolling Stones, Joni Mitchell, Willie Nelson

And here I am looking all proud with my Kings of Leon at (5). Followed by Black Keys, Courtney Barnet, Japandroids, The Killers,and Queen tied for (3) each. I need to step up my game.

Dylan 62, Neil young 55, Bill Evans 40, Miles Davis 35
