Merle Haggard and Bob Dylan here. Stones and Beatles in the mix, but not close.
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.

Yup, Bach for sure. Several hundred, mostly on CD. Also Beethoven, Mozart, Vivaldi, Handel, Purcell, Rameau, Scarlatti, Couperin. Obviously, heavy on Baroque. In Pop, Dylan (everything). Then Dave Edmunds (ditto), The Everly Brothers (no Everly Brothers = no The Beatles), The Louvin Brothers (no Louvin Brothers = no The Everly Brothers), Buddy Holly, Nick Lowe, The Band (no duh), The Beach Boys (those when Brian was a member), Van Dyke Parks, ABBA (go ahead, laugh. You’re mistaken ;-), The Kinks (whatta group!), The Flamin’ Groovies, The Ventures, John Hiatt, Lucinda Williams, Los Lobos, Richard Thompson, Iris Dement, Buddy Miller, Emmylou Harris, Patty Loveless, Steve Earle, Mary Gauthier, Rodney Crowell, Jim Lauderdale, Marshall Crenshaw, Hank Williams, George Jones, Del McCoury, all the regulars. But some of my favorite music has been made by bands/groups/artists with a small discography. Rockpile (a single album, though the ensemble is heard on many of Edmunds’ and Lowe’s albums), The Notorious Cherry Bombs (a Rodney Crowell/Vince Gill side-project, with a single album). I could go on, but my glass is empty, and I’m low on Vodka. Gotta get to the liquor store. |
tpreaves ... Thanks for the heads up on Boxcar Willie. Been playing his stuff on Spotify. Love it. Great music to follow along with on the harmonica. Good old down-home country music. Two thumbs up. Frank |
