Er since when do Beirut have 5 albums?
Eh, it really goes down to how you count it. I was counting separate albums and eps, so for Beirut that's
Gulag Orkester
Long Gilsand EP
The Flying Club Cup
March of the Zapotec EP
Realpeople: Holland EP
The last two come as a set, but it's two EPs. If you count that as one, then I guess I have to count the Autechre "Tri Repetae +" bundle (that included the Anvil Vapre and Garbage EPs" as one album also.

Damn, would you mind, if I crash your place with some soft drugs and have a Zappa marathon?
Sure, but only if you bring some Conceptual Continuity with you.

Not going to count them all.
More than 20:
Einsturzende Neubauten
Nick (fucking) Cave
Depeche Mode
15: Leonard Cohen
8: Sophie Zelmani
everything else is under 5.

4 - Flaming Lips, Jimmy Buffet, and Beethoven (6 each)

8 - Black Sabbath, Bob Seger, Journey, Kansas, Metallica, Nirvana, Van Morrison, Tears for Fears, the Beatles, Phantom of the Opera soundtrack/stage, Krokus, and Tartanic (2 each)
And the "got-one-floating-around" winners are:

NOFX: 6
Just listened to their new album "Coaster" tonight. Twice. NOFX really are a band that, imo, are just getting better and better with time. "Wolves in Wolves' Clothing" is their best album so far, even though I didn't like it at first. Coaster is a lot less political than their last few records, although that just means that Fat Mike is focusing his anger more and more on Christians instead of politicians. Which is kind of a bummer. There was a time when this guy had a nice balanced view on religion(see "Happy Guy" on Punk in Drublic) but now he's just starting to sound like SD.
And it's getting agonizing to hang out
with grown adults who actually believe
mythology and history trump physics and science
my aversion has turned to abhorenceThere seems to be a serious lack of song-ideas on this album actually. Half of the songs are either about Christian-bashing or drinking too much. Besides that there's a song about meeting Sara from Tegan and Sara and creeping her out. A song about how the olden days were better. And, what sounds like it might be Fat Mike's most personal song yet and possibly the album's highpoint, a song about how he refused to go see his father on his deathbed. Overall, it's a very listenable album with a lot of catchy hooks and singalongable anthemic choruses.

Queue - no worries, we all like what we like. There's no such thing as sucky taste in music. Unpopular taste yes, sucky no.

You're only saying that because no one has an Air Supply collection topping their list...yet.
Anyway, that was fun. No real disasters. I'm pretty lucky I guess. My list reflects my tastes fairy well. Although I thought KMFDM was going to win, counting from memory. I must have had some long term loans years ago that I've given back. Them winning would be a little weird. But they always had a new album and it was often cheap, so they get thrown on the little group imports we used to do..
I was hoping somone would notice they still have their Kiss collection from High School or some such, and it looking good and incriminating at the top of the list of jazz and Rodgers and Hammerstein.
