What artist do you own the most music by? And why?

[Alex]

As much as I love the Ramones and Radio Birdman, the artist I own the most records by, is Ty Segall.  His guitar shredding and the sound of his voice are awesome, and he's a great songwriter.  Plus, he's absurdly prolific and the quality just doesn't drop.  At this point, I own pretty much all of his solo stuff and side projects, save for one or two 7" singles.

What about you?  Maybe we can post photos of ourselves with our "most by this artist" records?

[Shahrom Donald Bahi Hawley]

Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, David Bowie.

Not exactly garage punk, but most killer garage bands have very few recordings.

[Wattage]

Cheap Trick for more reasons than makes sense to post. Great songs, great musicians - I love pretty much everything there is about CT.

 

[The Pulsebeats]

Bob Dylan. Years back I gave a guitar lesson to the son of a family friend and they paid me with a big box of records. Was about the same time another family friend uttered the words "We've got everything we want on CD now. Have a look in the attic and take what you want." Heaven. No garage, no punk, but a shed load of Dylan, Neil Young and other great stuff like that.

KISS and the Rolling Stones.  

I have the first six studio albums by KISS, along with "ALIVE" and "ALIVE II," along with with "Creatures of the Night" and "Psycho Circus."  KISS was the first band that I ever got into, so I guess that's why I have so many of their releases.  It's a combination of nostalgia and sentimentalism.

As for the Rolling Stones, I've been getting reacquainted with them, so I recently acquired all of the studio albums that were released between 1968 and 1972, along with "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!," "It's Only Rock'n'Roll," and "Some Girls."  I bought "England's Newest Hitmakers" and "12x5" a while back, and I still enjoy them.  This is open to debate, but I have to agree that the Stones truly are the greatest rock'n'roll band in the world, because of the standards they set and their influence.

This is one of the most interesting questions anyone has ever asked around here:)

I own more Billy Childish stuff than any other artist. He is not necessarily my favorite artist, but the sheer volume of releases over the years, and the fact that any B.C. record is a "safe bet", is the reason I have amassed such a huge collection of his work.

The Damned followed by the Ramones. Mostly because they both have released so many damned (get it?) records and 7" sleeve variations etc etc that sucker a collector nerd like me to buy. No picture of me, but a set a photos I'd snapped for another forum. I have to give credit though to an old friend who sold me his entire Damned 7" collection back in the 80's. I knew it hurt him, but he knew it was going to a good home. That's where a good chunk of my Damned and Capt. Sensible singles came from.

[John Battles]

Elvis ,  Jerry Lee . 2/3rds of the $750,000 Trio. Of course , I have a lot on Carl and The Man who made like Elvis and left the building......Cramps , Roky , Iggy. Other stuff, I forget.

[Dead Beat]

Apparently, my Vox Continental used to belong to The Damned, & came out of their studio... (at least thats what the woman who i bought it off told me... & it was just a sidenote to the sale, so have no particular reason to disbelieve her...)

 But that's nothing to do wit this thread so i'll mention that ive probably got more Skatalites stuff than any other band, cos i like ska.
