Just curious... Of which bands/singers do you own every album they ever made? (And I don't count beginners who only have their debut album!) For me it's really only Bob Dylan who last year released The Complete Album Collection.(That makes it easy.) For everybody else, no matter how much I love the music, there's always one or two missing. So I'm wondering,,,how many completists do we have here?

The short list: Prince, Madonna, MJ, Janet (pre-Discipline ), Natalie Merchant, Deee-Lite, A Tribe Called Quest, Lauryn Hill, India.Arie, Me'shell Ndegeocello, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Jill Scott, FABRIC/FABRICLIVE DJ compilations, Cafe Del Mar compilations, Ultra Lounge compilations

Prince(Obviously)

Fleetwood Mac

Stevie Nicks

David Bowie

Peter Gabriel

Coldplay

The Moody Blues

Kate Bush

Tears For Fears

Dire Straits

Roxy Music

Bryan Ferry

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

INXS

In the process of collecting everything that the Rolling Stones have done

Not including the many hits compilations:

Minnie Riperton

Michael Jackson (even Farewell My Summer Love, but not Michael that's said to have fake songs)

The Time/Original 7ven

Morris Day

Gap Band (even have the Leon Russell album in which they're the musicians)

En Vogue

Johnnie Taylor (don't have the SAR era material. But there were no albums, just a few singles. I think they're on a Sam Cooke box set though)

Sade

Swing Out Sister (except the live albums, but I have the remix albums)

Lots of bands that put out 1 or 2 albums only.

There are others with long careers where I have ALMOST everything, at least up to the point they started to suck, like the Beach Boys, or a comprehensive box set covering their best years, like Ornette Coleman.

I guess we're counting only studio albums and EPs, maybe even compilations with new material

in that case, only Roxy Music, but that doesn't count much since they "only" released 8 albums in 10 years (72-82), and I don't own all Bryan Ferry's solo albums...

I'll probably forget some, but Bowie, The Kinks, The Beatles, Prefab Sprout, The Smiths, Prince, Michael Jackson, Jacques Brel, Blur and Benjamin Biolay come to mind now.

A very short list for me, not including live or greatest hits albums:

Chic

Change

ABBA

Eurythmics

Annie Lennox

Basia (solo)

[Edited 1/30/14 14:49pm]

On my short list, (as in I intend on getting the last few albums that I don't have yet in the near future) is only Booker T. & the MG's & The Dire Straits

Pat Benatar.

it's been almost exactly one year since we last did this so I'll mainly copy & paste. I am just counting artists with five albums or more otherwise the list would explode. so that excludes for example most Prince associates, acts like Eric B & Rakim, Guy, Amy Winehouse, NWA, DeBarge, Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam, By All Means, Angela Winbush, X-Clan... ... and dozen others

and in the special category "regular studio albums excluding Christmas albums"

MJ

Madonna

Earth Wind & Fire

Sade

Stevie Wonder

Led Zeppelin

David Bowie

Prince
