Obviously for me it's Pearl Jam: 23 albums, 39 discs. And no two live discs are even close to the same, another reason why they are so incredible live.

I am the same. I own everything ever released (in all formats) by
The Smiths
My Bloody Valentine
The Buzzcocks
The Prodigy
Echo And the Bunnymen
Saint Etienne
The Pastels

I own the vast majority of Factory Records catalogue (there are gaps - the bloody cat is dead, I don't own any of the bars or clubs and I am missing a load of FAC posters but am working on that!). I also have a couple of gaps in some of my other band collections which I am spending an arm and a leg trying to plug but hey

However as none of the bands I like exactly have vast back catalogues, the quanity of 'stuff' is less than most people have mentioned on this thread already!
