PRINCE - Buttloads (ie, every album except for one, lots of singles and whatnot; assorted imports and, ahem, "imports")

BOWIE - A Buttcheekload (ie, every album and a few CD singles and a few "imports")

THE RESIDENTS - An Asscrackload (ie, a bunch of CDs, but there's no damn way i can collect 'em all cuz there's just too stinkin' many...)

Prince is the most and then it's Mariah Carey, but I have a long list of others I have to catch up on...

Prince and the Bee Gees 'cos they've both made a lot of albums.

David Bowie, too.

Prince is my all time favourite, but I also collect;

Duran Duran
Depeche Mode
Beatles (also solo)
Lenny Kravitz
Radiohead
U2

etc etc....

Oh yeah, The Beatles as well.

And 10 Led Zeppelin albums.
And eight by my Bush woman.

Do they qualify?

Seven Radiohead, Seven Blur, Seven by Mr. M. Jackson, too.

Prince!!!

Stevie and Prince

I don't know amounts (I should) but it goes like this from most to fewest:

U2
Prince
Madonna
The Beatles
Sting
Bjork
Radiohead
Nat King Cole
Liz Phair
Wilco

and then there are many, many artists of which I have 3 albums or fewer...

Just because you have a CD shop in your home... that I want.

Freespirit said:

i have no idea what you're talking about.

Prince, Talking Heads, ABC, Elvis Costello, The Smiths & Gang of Four.

In the late 90s, I bought all of U2's LPs (on CD) but now I never listen to them

My power 3 are Prince, The Charlatans and Blur. I have tons of CDs by each...

Prince

Pat Metheny/Pat Metheny Group
Miles Davis
Jean Luc Ponty

I forgot to mention Andreas Vollenweider

It would take me forever to count and figure it out so I'll just make a description.

I should mention that a collection can be either a best of/greatest hits or a live album, remix album, favorites album or a best of that really isn't very good. Majors mean their official releases. Minors are like those "20th century collections" and things that don't look like that artist back them. Hopefully that makes some sense.

At least 5:

Kylie Minogue (import collections and some albums, mostly the later ones)
Jay-Z (all the majors but no import best ofs/collections, which I see in stores here and there)
Aerosmith (none of their full seventies albums but everything after PM and various collections...so where do I start?)
Prince (majors except for ONAL)
Donna Summer (majors and some minor collections)
Madonna (majors and many later singles)
Ozzy Osbourne (various albums and collections...missing some)
Janet (all except DS or JJ)
Cher (most majors and some minor collections)
Lenny Kravitz (I think all except for LLR and AYGGMW...what am I waiting for?)
Whitney (various albums and GH)
David Bowie (everything after BTWN but nothing before it...help!)
Elvis Presley (mostly collections and a few later albums)
Elvis Costello(various albums and best ofs)
Stevie Nicks (all majors)
Fleetwood Mac (various collections and TITN...don't even have "Rumors" yet!)
The Cure (several albums and some best of collections)
Michael Jackson (various albums and collections...not "Off The Wall" yet!)

I'm going nuts with this language I created. This was a pain in the ass just to think about but it was fun. Thanks! Inventory!
