I love a lot of composers, musicians and genres, but the ones I've built sizable collections of include Bowie, The Byrds, The Doors, Dylan, Beethoven, Mahler, Mozart, Bartok, Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello, Miles Davis, Genesis, Tchaikovsky, Fritz Wunderlich, Benjamin Britten, The Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, The Vienna Phil, Springsteen, Sinatra, Clapton, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Bruno Walter. I also got heavily into the 1970's New York Punk/New Wave scene. I tried my best to see every New York New Wave/Punk band that showed up in L.A. during that period. I loved the Seattle Bands. I played in a New Wave band that went absolutely nowhere. The reason? We were awful.
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.
