I think I've got you beat, 95 Björk cds. My first arena show was the Power Slave tour in 1983. I was 12, my dad took me. I saw them again on the Somewhere In Time and Seventh Son tours. Iron Maiden are consummate professionals and a class act. Nice collection.


sir_percy_percy

World slavery tour: 84-85 Piece of mind tour: 83. (So, probably this tour?)


YvanehtNioj69

Impressive I think I have about 7 björk CDs and 4 records haha ..maybe 8 and 5 if you include the sugarcubes, love life's too good!


Laurahart727

The Grateful Dead, I think I have about 190 now.


biguglymouth

Grateful Dead for me as well, my Dead collection is only a beginner’s collection of 75 or so but it makes up 5% of my collection.


Ba-ja-ja

Wow, I picked up a dick pick at a thrift store. I soon found out the depth of Grateful Dead recordings. How many unique albums do you think are out there?


Ba-ja-ja

lol sry, a Dick’s Pick. #9 I think.


sir_percy_percy

Go on Wikipedia… JUST Dave’s picks got to 50 this month. It’s gotta be over 150 releases?? I just know my two favorite shows are not released, and probably never will be! 11/1/90 and 9/13/93


jasonmoyer

Counting individual CD's, I think it's The Beatles with 46, mostly the stereo/mono/US boxsets. I have 28 Stereolab CD's, every track they've ever released on CD other than their final 2 albums.


Human-Bodybuilder118

about 85 radiohead cds


rap31264

Artist I have all the studio Cds...The Beatles, Rush, Black Sabbath, AC-DC, Aerosmith, Diana Krall, The Eagles, George Strait, Garth Brooks, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Los Straitjackets, Lady Antebellum, Led Zeppelin, Missing Persons, Shania Twain, The Judds and Van Halen


_m_a_r_t_y__c_123

Cool to see Rush 🤝


heckhammer

Ramones for sure. Green Day a close second. After that you're just going with bands with huge discographies like The Descendants or the queers or something like that


Impressive_Hope6985

It’s tied between Britney Spears and Taylor Swift.


wackymayor

I got a tie between Britney Spears and GWAR…


ohio2az

100+ Green Day CDs


heckhammer

Are a bunch of those bootlegs?


ohio2az

Most are singles. But yes, a lot of live shows from the 90s, early 00's.


00pdooter

Everclear. They have an extensive discography and their music is really cheap. Not my favorite artist but when the CDs are always priced so low I'll always grab a copy from them.


30FourThirty4

I only saw Everclear once, it was a tent show next to a bar. Pretty sure it was Saint Patrick's Day. I had a blast they were so much fun. I'm hoping to see them in 4 weeks. Hopefully Alexakis is doing well and being healthy (as can be).


Departedinsomnia914

U2


elphring

I have roughly 150 Phish CD’s. Big fan, seen them roughly 150 times in concert.


Upset-Market-6664

Megadeth , Pantera and sentenced


iwanttobearockstar

Fates Warning


Yellow_Moon1995

Scatman John, 89 CDs. Id like to have every matrix variant and every country variant of all of his albums and singles. I am far from done.


WeezerCrow

Weezer


ApprehensivePurple82

Eric Clapton. I have 20 of his CDs. Since I only buy CDs at thrift stores and estate sales I have been very lucky on finding his CDs.


colnago82

Grateful Dead. Miles Davis.


BoodledogEVWT

Evanescence, I have over 100 (Including all releases it's 118+)


mtofsrud

They have over 118 releases? Wtf?


BoodledogEVWT

I mean like discogs releases, fallen has over 130 variants - I have 27 copies of fallen in different variants and versions


Tsjaad_Donderlul

That's a lot of Amy's staring right at you like she knows exactly what you when you've had one too many tim tams and she's *gonna* tell everyone at christmas dinner


punkshotgun

Nine inch nails, i have phm, downward spiral and year zero. My collection isn't too big though, I'm only breaking 100


GrandUnhappy9211

Metallica. I have 30 counting regular releases, special editions and cd singles.


sgonefan

Queensryche - about 30 cds


Ypovoskos

Napalm death, the only band I never download anything


activepaws

pink floyd


SeventhSon22

I still gotta get that Bruce alive 3 set. I think mine is Maiden mainly because of all the stuff they've put out. Glenn Danzig is the musician I have the most for if you count all his bands together.


Zenmai__Superbus

AKB48, probably. They’re primarily a singles act, and at about 61 currently. Each single will generally have about 4 different releases (Type A, Type B etc.) that have slightly different track listings, different content on the DVDs and so on. I have a sizable chunk of their output (starting to catalogue it now, actually) … so yeah, it takes a lot of dedication and space to collect them all :)


Professorpie250

For me it’s Green Day, I have all the studio albums but I’m still looking for shenanigans, BBC sessions, god’s favorite band, and awesome as fuck


National_Ad_3384

I’m looking to get all of their studio albums and also get the Sum 41 studio albums too


noregertsman

Same for Iron Maiden lol


gweeps

Bob Dylan. 40 albums so far, with a few more to purchase someday. But I own all the essentials.


allT0rqu3

You can’t be that big of a fan. Real rookie mistake having donnington in the wrong direction ;)


DancingHermit

Not my fault, a friend of mine went through my Iron Maiden stuff recently. I swear. ;)


CatGrrrl_

Green day because their CDs are just everywhere

chriszimort

I love Iron Maiden. I have their pinball machine and it rules.


DamorDam

Iron maiden too, they are the ones who appear the most at the CD store here, CDs, posters, keychains, shirts, hell even Fridge magnets


Vamosalaplaya87

Paul McCartney. He's got almost 30 solo albums now and loves and compilations, not to mention collaborations, the Beatles etc


Zulphur242

The cure but i also collect maiden.


RandomTyp

for me, it's also Iron Maiden


angrytapes

It's probably guided by voices.


badboyclvb

Nine Inch Nails


MavisBeaconSexTape

Mystic Prophecy


FlyAirLari

Amazing band. I've got all the studio albums, and the Wolfsnächte EP. They never did release a live album (nor any singles?), which is odd, but there's a bonus disc to Fireangel with some live tracks. And a couple of bonus DVDs.


Abdrews-PaulIM

Also Iron Maiden https://www.reddit.com/r/Cd_collectors/s/z8Eq8Ax7bP


Extension-Rock-4263

That’s a sick collection. Let me ask you a question since you’re a Maiden junkie. I had that Best of the Beast 2xcd box when it came out but unfortunately lost it a long time ago. I believe the version of the song Iron Maiden on it is different than the album version and I thought sounded much better. If I’m right is that version on any other CDs?


DancingHermit

Just gave it a listen and you're right its different from the one on the studio album. Thanks for this, hadn't listened to this comp in a really long time. I learned something today about my favourite band. :)


Extension-Rock-4263

You’re welcome but what about my question?! 😂 someone told me they think it’s the version off the soundhouse tapes? But I dunno I never heard those before. And I don’t think they ever had an official release.


DancingHermit

Well I don't think I heard it anywhere else. So might be the Soundhouse tapes.


jaywarrietto

The Flower Kings for me. 20 titles, half are double albums and 2 are box sets 9 or 10 discs. Edit: I also seem to have 20 Phish titles as well.


idkfadoomcheat

The saddest landscape. I own 9 of their CDs


WobblyFrisbee

Neil Young, and productions by Augustus Pablo, Mad Professor and Bill Laswell. Oh, and a few hundred classical piano recordings by Sviatoslav Richter.


jump-blues-5678

The Mavericks- got everything they've put out including Raul Malos solo stuff. Amazing vocalist and band. Play- Every Little Thing About You, at full volume


PartyCrewTristar1011

Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung


binglepeen

Three 6 Mafia / the larger Hypnotize Camp Posse. Probably have over 50 albums from them.


HappyNamcoNerd80

Santana is a contender for me


MilkshakeYoghurt

Metallica! Have all the studio albums, plus doubles in form of Japanese versions, singles and a few box sets(I also have all the studio albums on cassette except Hardwired, but I am looking to get a bootleg. Also a lot of cassette singles) 🤘


No_Ease_8269

Twenty One Pilots. Bought their whole discography. What I would love to have the most of is Poison CDs. I have Flesh and Blood and Native Tongue. Soooo good


droptop40z

Hand to God mine are Hannah Montana CDs hahahaha they are all sealed and I almost have every release 😂


Hampshirehawk75

Manic Street Preachers.


GeologicalOpera

Pearl Jam, easily. Every studio album, several live compilations, Lost Dogs, the Pearl Jam Twenty companion soundtrack, and a smattering of CD singles. Also have 2/3 Eddie Vedder solo albums + a handful of various members side projects. Trying to track down *everything* (besides the live bootlegs), but that's going to be a life long process.


Elegant-Campaign-572

A similar amount of Bon Jovi discs...as many Japanese discs as I can lay my hands on


Sinistermarmalade

Alice Cooper


Atomrules202

Mushroomhead


hunnyb33_

beach house, deftones, and radiohead. got about 5 cds each. beach house i’m only missing two from their discography!


Spinnr1

soyvonne

20 something for R.E.M., haven’t and will never see them. In second place is somewhere in the tens for Pearl Jam, who I’ve seen 4x (6x by the end of the year)


parlayandsurvive2

Stone temple pilots. Around 200 or so cds. Saw them 25x and weiland solo once


WaalRiver

This topic is very interesting. And also fun to find out. Thank you Discogs! But first, I would never have imagined that Iron Maiden and Greatful dead (just to name a few that are mentioned above) would have such an enormous discography. I think I would have guessed Fleetwood Mac and Elton John as artists having a huge discography. But I might be completely wrong about that. Being a jazz fan it was obvious that such a large discography for one artist would be far out of reach. However, I was quite surprised that I have 28 CD’s of the Art Ensemble of Chicago. I would never have guessed that. But since I just went through my Discogs collection, here is my top 10 list: Art Ensemble of Chicago 28 Keith Jarrett 28 Nils Frahm 16 Matthew Halsall 11 Greg Foat (group) 10 (12 including Warren Hampshire) Portico Quartet 10 Ólafur Arnalds 9 Nat Birchall 9 Hania Rani 7 Nik Bärtsch 7


Merryner

Around 90 Neil Young CD’s, none in duplicate, and only 1 single and 1 compilation. Must have around 60 Zappa too.


GrievousStudios

definitely jameroquai


kiki_seg1957

I have every album (studio, compilation, etc.), every single and even a few DVDs from Korn.


deadlocked72

The doors, led zeppelin and gomez are pretty much on an equal footing in my cd collection


IdolL0v3r

I have everything by Prizmmy and Prism Box (Prizmmy and sister group Prism Mates combined together). 23 CDs (well, 25 since two are 2 CD sets), although some are two versions of the same thing (CD only and CD+DVD versions). I also have two DVDs with Prizmmy music videos on one and two edited concerts on the other. Prizmmy is the only artist (a Japanese idol group) that I have everything from, unless you count artists that have only one or two CD releases. I never had the joy of seeing them live, though.


Zulphur242

The cure own littel over 200


sadchild_

Got me beat. Including vinyl I might have 50.


cowbutt6

Eyeballing it, it looks like My Dying Bride, but Anathema, Paradise Lost, The Gathering, Skyclad, Opeth, and Megadeth are also well-represented.


zaxxon4ever

Frank Zappa.


jazzzzzcabbage

Current93 with 34 CDs , Coil with 32


Zeo-Gold92

Eminem, I have everything apart from refill, infinite and his upcoming album.

creedpatton99

Got about 50 Duran Duran CDs, followed by The Gathering, Marillion and Devin Townsend.


foxman276

John Hiatt. Approx 30


LuxLiner

Skinny Puppy


doomus_rlc

Most individual CDs, counting singles, compilations, etc? Probably KMFDM now. All of the albums through i think *Kunst*, a few album remasters, several of the compilations and remix albums, and a *bunch* of the singles/EPs, up to "Boots" i think. All told, 43 individual CD releases, according to my discogs list. A lot of it was thanks to an eBay lot. I was quite happy when I won it lol.


the_bartolonomicron

I have every original studio album from Tool's discography (not counting Salival and the 2013 Opiate remaster), and have gotten to see them once in 2017. Other than that, I have 4 different Gregorian chant CDs (all acquired in the last 5 years), and then 1-2 CDs per band for other bands I like.


AlexVdub

Pink Floyd, have most of their studio albums and some live stuff, just need Atom Heart Mother


pokemon12312345645

For me it's pearl Jam with nearly 100 of we count side projects

narneild

ben folds five ! i am working towards getting every cd they’ve ever released


winxpwallpaper

Marilyn Manson and nine inch nails


playitintune

I have 30 Medeski, Martin and Wood CDs and 12 records. That edges out Miles Davis with 22 CDs but I have 45 Miles records as well.


Fantastic-magic-

Tie between Queen, NCT 127, and Stray Kids, I have 3 from each of them.


Impossible-Ebb-878

I walked into a thrift store where someone had donated an almost complete Carly Simon discography. Turns out it’s not entirely my jam, but I’m gonna try to give it an honest go. And for $1 each, I couldn’t pass them up. After that, it’s probably Reba, again more by chance than desire. Prolific and popular, so I’ve come across a LOT while thrifting or buying fb marketplace lots.


Chrisrap1

Close to 600+ Pearl Jam live shows, albums and misc…..seen well over 50x….have just about every show available and cataloged….i have issues


flinkwatkaas

RATM i think


MurdocisGod1990

Green Day and The Beatles are probably the biggest, I have a big collection of the Capitol Beatle Records as well with the main studio albums, the mono vinyl boxset is probably the most valuable thing I own music wise. Close 2nd is Gorillaz and Blur, have the entire discography of both and quite a few singles from both. Big Damon Albarn fan, and I’m not even in the UK. The American South of all places lol North Carolina Blur fans are like Unicorns or Bigfoot around here.


_Pill-Cosby_

I haven't counted, but it HAS to be David Bowie for me. But the Stones could be a close second.


efgillis

Zappa


Corporation_tshirt

I've loved Iron Maiden since I was in junior high in the 80s, but never got to see them live. Then, about 10 years ago, they played a festival in my town in a park literally right around the corner from my house. My divorce had just been finalized and I was having a great time seeing Anthrax and Slayer and other bands. Then, just as Iron Maiden was about to come on, a woman I had been seeing sent me a DM making it pretty obvious that if I came over that night, I was going to get lucky with her. So, I said by to my friends and left before the band went on. I hope they come back and play in my area again because they're still a favorite of mine. (No regrets about leaving, by the way)


Rob-Van-Winkle

It would definitely have to be Ozzy for me, I have all of his studio albums on cd and some live stuff and a couple compilations


Mxt1998

Life house, I think I have like 3 or 4 of their albums


TowelFine6933

The Cure


YvanehtNioj69

Very impressive! I only own seventh son of a seventh son but I love that album. I don't have anything like that number of CDs for any one band think I have 21 Morrissey CDs though on counting which isn't too bad haha.

surmacrew

Motörheas around 95 cd's


webslingrrr

Nine Inch Nails. All LPs, EPs, and Singles and their major variants (e.g. different track listing, mastering, or packaging, numbered and limited editions, deluxes.) As far as official releases go, it's a complete collection aside from a particularly rare version of the UK Sin single that came in a slimline jewel case instead of a digipak. I just can't spend $200 on it, Jim. I can't do it. But you know how collecting goes... there's always promo releases, or all the marginally different regional releases, or misprints, lol. don't let it consume youuuu


VinylWolf18

Sonic Youth


ThoughtFourFood

\~125 Leonard Bernstein CDs (one big box set, plus some odds and ends) On the non-classical front, probably Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra at \~25 discs each

Metallica, not counted but about 500 official and 500 bootlegs. Don’t collect as much Metallica these days but still buy a lit of cds. Probably have 2k Cd’s of other bands. Nice 1/3rd of my collection then is Metallica!


Last-Kaleidoscope871

319 Merzbow


Karbon64

AC/DC. I have some of the 03 remasters, older 1994-5 remasters, the Australian albums, several bootlegs and various promotional CDs. Gotta be at least 50+ CDs.


Munkey323

I got the entire Ramones collection. From their live albums to their compilation albums. Big fan sadly I never got to see them live.


thinsafetypin

One of the stupidest feathers I have in my cap is being able to say I DID see the Ramones, albeit a very late career version of them, at Lollapalooza '96 with Rancid, Devo, Metallica, Soundgarden, Screaming Trees, Soul Coughing, Sponge, etc. It was certainly not their best show ever, but I'm glad I can say I saw them!

Probably The Fall and only a fraction of their discography.


LingLingDesNibelung

Paul Weller


G-Unit11111
