Which Artist And/Or Composer You Have The Most Of?

 This may only be interesting as a comparison to those of us who buy albums in less than 100s at a time and should be in the context of total collection size (500 in my case), but:

I was just listening to my latest Count Basie, "Kansas City Seven" (not to be confused with And The Kansas City Seven) and thinking, onc again, this may be my favorite so far. So I counted'm.

Count Basie: 22

Emmy Lou Harris: 13

No other had more than 8, Joni Mitchell and the rest of Pop and Jazz, a handful each, at best.

Classical honors, a tie, Beethoven and Brahms with 13 apiece, counting multiple records sets as one album.

 If I include duplicates then I would say The Beatles but other than that I would say Duke Ellington.

Coincidently both would make my top five 'desert island' artists.

 If you're talking just jazz vinyl, it's Miles by a mile, followed by Count Basie. Lots of Ella on vinyl too. Classical....Vivaldi or L von B.

 the latest version of Itunes makes counting very hard. But last time I was able to count all the single CD releases, Road Trips, Dick & Dave's Picks, various box sets and all the bootlegged and traded albums, I'd say it was over 600 when I counted last.
Beatles probably second with over 12o.
These are CDs on a HD, not vinyl.
I have a lot of vinyl of both too.
Are these the 2 I listen to mostly? Not at all.
With 140,000+ songs on the HD and listening probably 80-90% of the time to a combo of various genres that changes often and is shuffled in a random mode, I get few GD or Beatles hits.
EDIT: If I just counted the vinyl I would say I had every release made of both artists. There not being nearly as much on vinyl as on CD/Digital.

 Without counting I'd say I have at least 30 Monk LPs. And for Miles certainly more than 20. Mingus, only about a dozen or so.

I also have at least 20 Brubeck albums (hey, how'd he get in here?)

Then there are maybe a dozen for the Kingston Trio but that was from high school and college days. blues4ever, were you pulling our collective legs there?

The thing for me is with most artists I'm content with one or two of their albums. I just don't find enough interest for what to my ears is largely duplication. Now I'm sure some may question my love for Monk based on that. All I can say is I like hearing the same number on maybe ten different albums because each is a little different, and I love whatever he does. There are just not many artist that I own more than half-dozen of their records -- Beefheart, Dylan, Doors, Talking Heads, Armstrong, Basie, Mulligan, Getz, Weather Report.

Obviously I'm excluding classical composers here.

 At one point, decades ago, I was seriously attempting to own everything by Mingus and Miles on record. I didn't succeed, but I sure have some rare records now.

In the last decade it has been Chopin and Beethoven. I have several sets of the complete Beethoven piano sonatas and the complete Chopin piano music by Garrick Ohlsson. The Ohlsson set is 13 or 14 CDs by itself and I have another dozen CDs of the same music by other pianists. I have a few sets of the complete Mozart piano sonatas and a couple of sets of the Hayden sonatas and a couple of sets of Shubert's complete piano music.

 The first album I ever bought was "College Concert"; it was the second album of the second iteration of The Kingston Trio. It was the spring of 1962 when I was 13 years old. I have a ton of Kingston Trio on vinyl, quite a bit of their music on CD and some on DVD.

As a matter of fact, I'm listening "Make Way!" by the first iteration of the Trio right now. I still like those guys.

 Never got tired of their spirit, humor and harmonies.

Somewhere I posted my attempts to connect with Nick Reynolds to express my appreciation and hear his stories. A few things interfered and then suddenly it was too late. He lived about 20 miles from me.

 ..........I saw the Trio in concert at Western New Mexico University in Silver City, New Mexico when Nick was still playing with them. It was one of the best and most fun concerts I ever attended. I think Nick had retired back in the 70's or 80"s, then rejoined the group in the 90's, then retired again late in the 90's.

I lived about two hours away in Las Cruces, NM. My band mate Bob and I drove over after work (the concert was on a weekday; Tuesday sticks in my mind but I'm not too sure). After the concert, Nick, Bob and George were available at a local night spot to autographs and mingling for a few bucks a pop. I did't want to stay because I had to be at work at 6:00 AM the next morning, so we passed on the chance. I kick myself in the ass to this day for not staying for the get-together.

I've seen the Trio probably 6-8 times since then, but Nick had re-retired by then. I always thought he would have been a lot of fun to talk to.

His son Josh posts occasionally at the Kingston Trio Place on the internet.

A good book is "The Kingston Trio on Record" by Benjamin Blake, Jack Rubeck and Allan Shaw. However, I'm not to sure it's in print anymore.

 I have more Neil Young albums (24) or Bruce Cockburn (19) than another artist or group. After those two, without going to the shelves and counting,it's most likely...

 I acquire lots of albums, but I am always thinning out my collection to the one's I like enough to listen to at least a couple of times a year. Once I spent three years putting together a 63 Fleer baseball set. I even built a special box to keep it in. Then when I had it all it board me so I sold it. I'm just not a collector, if I don't use it often or in this case listen to it often then I don't keep it long. I have friends who keep everything and they don't get me and I don't get them, but we're still friends.

 NOT a chance in HELL!! ;-)

Actually I have few Zappa albums which aren't my cup of tea, but I keep them around because I'm something of a completist.

Thanks for the offer though.

 I recently upgraded to a newer version of iTunes. If I view by "albums" they show in order of artist/albums. So if I select the first lp by an artist and then select the last lp by that artist the number of LPs, total run time of the LPs, and number of bytes, of all the artists albums shows up down at the bottom of the page. It's a pita but if your tags are right it's not too bad if you want your GD or Beatles count.

In foobar it's even easier as if you view by artists the number of artist lps shows up in parenthesis after the artists name.

None of which is relevant if one hasn't consistently tagged all along.

 I used to play a clarinet and I fell in love with his jazz. When I was a teenager I used to practice his songs by listening to his records in order to figure out all the notes he was playing. I had a turntable with the slow speed of 16⅔ rpm so I could slow down his music and figure out all the notes. Then I would practice until I could play the pieces up to tempo. I now often try to find better copies of his records because I wore them out when I was a teenager. ;-)

 thanks, but I have the Dead for instance broken down into various sub-titles.
GD Bootlegs
GD Farewell to Winterland
GD Road Trips
GD Dave's picks
etc etc...
18 of them.But since I made the Dead it's own Genre for a large part of their material I can look under Genre and see that I have 533 albums in there. I also know that the remaining Dead material is in the Rock genre. No easy way to count the Dead in that genre....I gave up at 75 and I was half way thru the alphabet!

 I would have to answer Robert Fripp- between all of the King Crimson, and then the individual projects:no exposure; no pussyfooting, I advanced masked, here comes the flood, let the power fall, league of gentlemen, league of crafty guitars, I probably have 23 pieces of vinyl and a few CDs, after that, bach, Purcell or Handel .
Happy Listening

 Just did a survey, and the results at least partly surprised me! Here are my top 8:

L.v Beethoven: 32
J.S Bach: 23
S. Rachmaninov: 23
D. Shostakovich: 22
Pink Floyd: 19
J. Brahms: 19
R. Vaughan Williams: 18
W.A. Mozart: 18

I didn't realise I had so many DSCH or RVW.

This includes duplicates (CD and LP, or in a couple of cases, two vinyl copies)

 His music on ECM vinyl is top of the pick for me and makes a clear case for the superiority of well recorded music on vinyl.

 ... the leaders in all 4 of the major food groups.

Pretty much everything XTC and the members put on vinyl; the others, just really substantial numbers. It helps that they all have pretty big catalogs, and that I tend to like all phases of their respective careers.

 Most records? I have well over 100 by the following artists:

Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and Elvis Presley.

In the case of Crosby and Sinatra, I have a lot of 78s, over 150 by Crosby and about 90 by Sinatra. Tons of Elvis LPs, singles, and EPs.

Looking at the most music, that would have to be Bob Dylan. In addition to about 50 Dylan LPs, I have numerous 7" singles, CDs and countless hours of bootleg concert recordings on cassette tape, CD-R and MP3.

Aside from these artists there's many others well represented in my collection such as Neil Young, Frank Zappa, Doris Day, Patti Page, Peggy Lee, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, to name a few.

 It would be a close call among those 3.
Sarah Vaughn would be 4th.

 Love Art Pepper, but I probably have only 6 to 10 of his LPs (no tapes or CDs).

 I have the complete Beatles collection (including the picture discs and colored LP's), but it's probably Miles Davis at my house. My guess is about 125 LP's from Miles alone. Now I'm building a Count Basie and Duke Ellington collections. I suspect I have about thirty to forty Dave Brubeck LP's, and constantly build on that group as well.

 Only kidding: Actually, having kids one gets sick and tired of seeing Nutcracker performances Christmas time.

I had a surplus of Diana Krall albums. They were my demo albums for a long time. Billy Holliday sounds good on a AM radio, but not Diana! [Forgot, we're talking vinyl only ;-]

Well, three 60 cm shelves. Box sets take up more space than single records. The almost complete cantatas, 42 box sets alone. Too many records, too little time!

 I did a more detailed count and came up with the following:
* 25 vinyl 12" at 33 1/3 rpm
* 1 vinyl 10" at 33 1/3 rpm
* 1 vinyl 12" at 45 rpm
* 14 CDs
* 1 open reel tape
* 1 commercial cassette

The 45 rpm and open reel tape are dupes of ones on 33 1/3. One CD duplicates an LP.

There are also several Jazz Alive broadcast performances by Art Pepper groups that I captured on cassette and open reel tape during the 70s.

 over 20 "stately" sides? : )

Actually, I've found quite a bit of HIP (and non-HIP) Bach on Lp which I really enjoy, esp. Collegium Aureum (sp) performances.

I was worried it would all be super slo-mo.

 

Neil Young - no question., posted on July 25, 2014 at 06:09:47

 With 52 titles as Neil Young or with Crazy Horse. That doesn't include anything by Buffalo Springfield or CSNY. I can't be bothered figuring out how many LP's that might be as a number of them are box sets.

It actually surprised me, I didn't realize I had that many. He's made a lot of records!
