Which band or artist takes up the most space in your collection?
#1
When you look at your shelves, or rack, or hard drive, or in your garage, what do you have the most of?

For me, it's 82 Grateful Dead discs, followed by 36 Stones discs, 34 from The Beatles, and 27 from Genesis.

As a general rule, we collect complete catalogs.

Without a doubt it has to be David Bowie. Every studio album is owned then also some compilations and bootlegs. Racks up to a hefty number, I don't know what it is exactly as I can't be bothered sitting down and counting them all.

Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!

It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown.

I am a music slut I guess. I have a wall full of CDs and albums but no more than 6 from the same band or artist. Heavy load on blues artist but the most from one is Townes Van Zandt.
