Who's the largest part of your collection?

Bill Evans

 

Official releases--it would have to be Dylan.

Counting bootlegs, it is the Beatles.

And, if you count the Beatles albums with his solo albums, then the answer to the "who" question is Paul McCartney.

JcS

 

The Who
KISS
Rolling Stones

 

Karlheinz Stockhausen
John Cage
Frank Zappa

 

Merzbow

John Cage might be in the somewhere too. I haven't counted in a while.

 

The Beatles,
Zappa/Mothers,
Pink Floyd,
The Who,
Grateful Dead,
John Coltrane,
Miles Davis

 

As far as the number of recordings I own by an artist, in order:

"Who's the largest part of your collection?" Good guess, how did you know that? (apologies to Abbott and Costello).

1. The Who
2. The Rolling Stones
3. Midnight Oil
4. The Kinks
5. The Beatles
6. Bruce Springsteen
7. Jethro Tull
8. Neil Young

 

The Who
The Doors

Yes
Genesis
Little Feat
The Stones
(pretty much in that order.)

 

Miles Davis, because his catalog is so big and I have pretty much everything. Followed by:

Beatles
John Coltrane
Sonny Rollins

 

Zappa by far with 544

The others with over 100

Miles Davis - even not counting the Complete Columbia box
Leonard Bernstein - a couple of big boxes
Artur Rubenstein - the Complete RCA box
Wilhelm Furtwängler - the Legacy box
Sviatoslav Richter - a bunch of boxes
John Zorn - if you count everything his name is attached too. Counting only albums he plays on, it still a large number but probably under 100​

Two that just fall short of 100

King Crimson
Leslie Howard - Lizst box​

 

Johnny Cash
The Beatles
Miles Davis
Pink Floyd
Bob Dylan
The Rolling Stones
Grateful Dead
Neil Young

Dylan, thanks to the complete-albums box and Bootleg series.

Then, in no particular order, Beatles, Elvis, Chuck Berry, Nilsson, Fats Domino, and of course, Tiny Tim.

The Moody Blues
Fleetwood Mac
Jethro Tull
The Who
Ten Years After / Alvin Lee
Van Morrison
The Rolling Stones

Gordon Lightfoot
Alan Parsons Project

Lots of Buddy Holly and Eric Clapton during their trailblazing evolutions, plus the entire catalog of It's A Beautiful Day, and no shortage of classical either (Bach, Handel, Beethoven, Wagner, Grieg, etc).

 

Sad, but probably

The Married One
The Quiet One
The Devil One
The Stoned One
The Angry One
The Funny One
