Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer

"The next biggest amount of material I have is of the great Chillean pianist Claudio Arrau. Sadly I doubt if we will ever see their like again."

Claudio Arrau with Staatskapelle Dresden, Beethoven’s 5th piano concert. It does not get any better than that. I have ony 15 versions to compare, though.

Otherwise,

Gustav Mahler (far from my favorite one) 37

Kris Kristofferson 27 (not counting duplicates in multiple, or even same, format)

The Rolling Stones 47 (including 4 different versions of Exile on the Main Street which I do not particularly like)

Bob Dylan 50 (not including 2 versions of Blonde on Blonde on SACD and Blood on the Tracks cassette, LP, CD, SACD, and Mini Disc, missing 8-track)


Leonard Cohen everything on CD, remastered CD, one single (small size) CD, and LPs (two LP versions each of the older ones and one each of last 5, or so, albums)

I actually like disco.

Offhand number 1 Elton John number 2 Led Zeppelin.

Grateful Dead by a country mile.  I bought the 73-CD Europe 72 Box Set.  I own probably 400 GD CD's.  Out of a collection of about 1000 CD's in total.  All I need to do now is to digitize the entire collection so that I can choose the best version of each song, like Cold Rain & Snow, or any other great GD song, and make the ultimate playlist.  My latest favorite is the Dave's Picks #29 San Bernardino 2/26/77 release-- in my view among the best shows of all-time, along the May 1977 shows and of course others from 1971 and '72.  Sound quality of San Bernardino is fantastic.  Like being there.

Ron Carter has appeared on 2,221 recording sessions. For jazz enthusiasts, you could have more recordings with Ron on them than any other musician in your collection and not even realize it ;-)

Sly n Robbie
Their rhythms have been the driving force behind innumerable songs -- one statistician estimated that together they’ve played on approximately 200,000 tracks, and that doesn’t count remixes, versions, and dubs. As a production team, they were the equivalent of a creative storm, the cutting edge of modern dub, ragga, and dancehall.

Classic Sly & Robbie....(Drum n Bass)
