Not counting EP's, B-Sides or Singles:
- Thrice: 100%
- Stabbing Westward: 105% (bought the spawn soundtrack just for their collaboration)
- Filter: 100%+ (bought the Army of One cd just 'cause of R. Patrick)
- Tool: 100%
- Coheed and Cambria 100%+ 2 DVD & 1 Graphic Novel
- Billy Talent: 100%
- Anberlin: 100%
- Kent (sweden): 87.5% (7/8 including 2 duplicate cds: english and swedish versions, I had to paypal a complete stranger to buy them for me and ship them to N. America)
- Deftones: 83% (5/6)
... hmm... this scale shows more of your purchasing habits than your real fandom of any group. I own a depressing 2 Depeche Mode albums (one of which is a greatest hits) and they easily beat out a couple bands on this list. I also own all of the Breaking Benjamin and Disturbed albums and I never listen to them.

5 Beatles albums
4 Album ties: Okkervil River (technically 4 albums and 1 EP, but Black Sheep Boy Appendix was part of the two disc set), Viva Voce, M. Ward, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Kupek, and LCD Soundsystem (counting the digital exclusive All My Friends single/EP)
2 Albums: Andrew Jackson Jihad, The Besnard Lakes, The Black Angels, Burial, The Parson Redheads, The Pillows, The Seatbelts, Swan Lake, The Viking Moses
Special Mention for: Captain Black, with four imported 7"s and everything I could steal off their MySpace before they decided to re-brand (bastards never released a proper album).

@fett...no Floyd? Seems odd seeing your list.
Tell me about it. I've been trying really hard to get into them for years, but they just seem slow and disconnected to me. Gilmore is a brilliant guitarist, and my band covers a few of their songs (Run Like Hell, Wish You Were Here), but it's just not catching on for me. I've got Wish You Were Here on my .mp3 player right now in hopes that it'll spark something.
Also ttlg rules because almost everyone is listing Iron Maiden. :thumb:

Peter Gabriel / (head in hands) Jean Michelle Jarre
5
Eurythmics
2
Prefab Sprout / Talk Talk / (deep breath) Duran Duran / U2 / Portishead / Lou Reed / De La Soul /Talking Heads / Bob Dylan / Boo Radleys /The Fall etc etc
Oh, I got one Iron Maiden album as well. And the Run to the Hills single. I thought I had two John Williams soundtracks but I forgot I swapped the theme to Close Encounters in a second hand shop for a stupid "humorous" reggae album when I was a student. I remember the guy nearly took my hand off.
Some of my music was taped on C90 from records I hired out of the local library so they don't count I guess.
There's probably more but my record collection is at my parent's house in the attic and I haven't seen it in years. The cases are too heavy to carry around, what with all that Jean Michelle Jarre lol.

Did you even read the thread? This is a count up of all the albums/EPs you own.
Pre-emptive "I can't be bothered to do that" response: then get out

I wonder if it might be better to rate the acts according to the percentage of their output that you have. It seems like owning everything that was ever put out by a band that only released 3 records should count more than owning three records from a band that put out 26.
Anyway, don't ask me to give exact counts. An inventory would take
days. This is probably typical for an ex college radio dj:
1st: Frank Zappa, no contest. I have a copy of every album that he put out while he was alive, including the bootleg reissues. Additionally I have both vinyl and CD copies of all of his Warner Brothers stuff, because WB let his master tapes rot, so he had to make new masters from scratch for the CD reissues on his own label. Oh, and a few of his albums on cassette too. For the record, the WB version of "Regyptian Strut" is much better than the reissue.2nd: Alice Cooper. All of the albums, except for the last two which just didn't float my boat, on vinyl or CD. That includes the movie soundtracks that he contributed to, as well as the soundtrack for the
(http://uraniumcafe-the.com/2009/02/12/flash-fearless-versus-the-zorg-women-parts-5-6/) Flash Fearless vs the Zorg Women musical.
3rd: There were a bunch of groups in SF during the late 80's and 90's that were more or less one big experimental noise collective that shared their members, so I count their stuff as being one act. I've got a bunch of the cassettes (that's what they put out) from Big City Orchestra, Nux Vomica, and the rest.
4th: Alien Sex Fiend. All of their releases, plus a cassette tape with recordings of me interviewing Nick Fiend and Mrs. Fiend on two occasions.
5th: Tom Waits.
6th J.G.Thirlwell, aka Foetus and other aliases.
7th (tied, more or less): Led Zeppelin, Devo, Nurse With Wound, Oingo Boingo, Zoogz Rift, AC/DC, Laibach, Front Line Assembly.
Whew.
Damn, would you mind, if I crash your place with some soft drugs and have a Zappa marathon?

And finally, the artists I have five (5) albums by:Animal Collective, Beirut, PDQ Bach
Er since when do Beirut have 5 albums?
Anyway my top few would roughly be King Missile, Queen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Amon Tobin, Xploding Plastix, Boards of Canada, Placebo, Enigma, Dead Can Dance.

from memory (my main cpu is disconnected atm, but all this is accurate, I may just have totally omitted an artist or two)
9 (ish) - recordings of Gustav Mahler symphonies and songs
8 - David Bowie
7 - Radiohead
4 - The Smiths
4 - Morrissey
3 - Bob Dylan
3 - Sigur Ros
3 - Nick Cave (inc. best of)
2 - Kate Bush
2 - Bruce Springsteen
2 - Tribe (honourable Looking Glass mention :cool:)
These are ones that I've actually been bought or given, rather than ripping other people's music libraries (which would give a lot of Beatles, Led Zep, etc. but I didn't specifically seek that stuff out, much as I like it).
Since I discovered Spotify this has become essentially redundant as I've been listening to many albums by artists I otherwise only own one or two releases by.

Wow... first you're too lazy to read the thread. Then when Iggs calls you out for it you're too lazy to even come up with a comeback of your own?
Maybe you should stop posting for a while and go have a lie down.
