Being a country fan, mine is George Strait, I've got over 35 CDs, all ripped on my hard drive.

Very cool, I'm envious!

For me it'd be Elton John just for the sheer amount of material he's released. I'll have to do an official count when I get home out of curiosity, but his stuff takes up the most room on the shelves!

Okay- just going by CDs (and not cassettes and vinyl),about 115 total- out of what looks like 33 are original (non-live, greatest hits, boots, singles, etc.) albums. No one else even comes close.

Wow, it's hard to believe they both put out that many tracks over the years??

SubZeri

Depeche Mode by a mile. I have no idea how many individual tracks, but it is currently at 156 cds and around 130 12" vinyl.
Jon

Michael Corvin

Dream Theater
currently in iTunes:

50 Albums; 538 Tracks

That's 98% official releases and doesn't include another 100 or so bootleg concerts. Does not include any solo or side projects either.

Gotta be a lot of live repeats.

Anubis2005X

Metallica and The Beatles. I realized I def need more Pink Floyd in my collection though...

orangecrush

If bootlegs count, then The Cure and R.E.M. by a very wide margin. They were my favorite bands when I was really into collecting bootlegs and I have over 30 disks of just live or unreleased stuff for each band.

rexinnih

Bowie.

cungar

Didn't they have like 3 albums?

I would imagine either Miles Davis or Bob Dylan. At this point it's probably Miles.

I own every Beatles album on vinyl, US & UK versions, but that's a drop in the bucket compared to how much I own from artists whose careers lasted 40+ years.

Ky-Fi

I am by no means a hardcore music collector with lots of bootlegs and rare pressings, but as far as having the most tracks, between The Clash and his solo stuff, probably Joe Strummer. After that, maybe Echo and the Bunnyment/Ian McCulloch, The Police, Stan Ridgway/Wall of Voodoo, Simple Minds....

Deadman31

Tesla. All of their recordings and a ton of live concerts, interviews and assorted other stuff.

62 albums, 1066 songs

kstublen

My mom's a teacher and actually taught Tommy Skeoch's kids in school and sorta knew him as well.

LiquidSky

The Runaways/Joan Jett solo
Blondie
The Charlatans UK

Mordred

According to a waitress I met in an IHOP in Texas at 3AM one night back in '98, LeAnn was a slut back in 7th grade.

Mordred

By songs: Scorpions (244), Helloween (228), Iron Maiden (218)

By albums: Metallica, Yngwie Malmsteen, Dream Theater

statcat

I'm sure he's probably counting live tracks because neither did that many.

comanche_doyle

By official releases, are you referring to the Ytsejam stuff? I've been curious about those, but never pulled the trigger on them. Are they worth the money?

Rocketdog2000

I don't have time to count the albums, singles, boots, tapes, live and studio tracks...etc. I'm pretty sure, however, that it would be something along the lines of Alice Cooper, Cheap Trick and Thin Lizzy. After that, probably KISS, AC/DC, INXS, The Cult and Def Leppard.

7Keys

Bruce Dickinson w/Iron Maiden, Samson, solo and guest appearances.

covenant

I thought sure it would be Black Sabbath/Ozzy/Dio at 829

But actually The Ramones won out at 1124. That's alot of greatest hits, anthologies and tribute albums!

GreenVulture

Elvis Costello tops it out at 1,561 tracks.

I think R.E.M. would be next--still rearranging folders and whatnot, but I think I have about 850+ tracks of theirs.

EDIT: Brian Eno comes in third with 697 tracks.

DGibFen

The top five:

The Beatles - 332 tracks (Still need three albums)
Jars of Clay - 281 tracks (Everything they've released)
Leonard Bernstein - 274 tracks (includes works as a conductor and as a composer)
Peter Schickele (aka P.D.Q. Bach) - 264 tracks (All but two albums)
Phil Keaggy - 229 tracks (Mostly stuff from 1990-2000's)
