44 Bob Dylan albums.

And, gee, I hope you all are counting actual, physical albums and not some computer files.

Yeah when I posted the topic I was thinking of actual physical albums. to count files is a different story. it's too easy. Heh heh

Only 10+ artists I have would be The Fall, Panda Bear (if you include AnCo stuff), Augustus Pablo, Scentist, King Tubby, Bowie and The Beatles. Tend to collect labels more these days than artists.

That would have to be Neil Young. Not just solo but with Crazy Horse etc. I'm guessing that it must be in the region of 70.

Then I have a number of Robert Hunter Albums and concerts as well as mickey Hart, I even have Keith and Donnas work together after the dead. I have most of Tom Constantens discography, Silver (Brent Mydland). I even have a few tubes albums with (Vince Welnick), I have hundreds (500+) Cds of live Furthur (Phil Lesh and Bob Weir covering a few hundred shows all official release by gnomes and hobbits. Then I have the complete issued 2003 and 2004 and 2009 The Dead tours. I also have a number of live concert CDs by the other ones. And to wrap to up a few Bruce Hornsby and the range. So as you can see for me its easily the grateful dead and related Grateful dead bands.

That is impressive

The Beach Boys...not sure how many I own but including live albums, box sets and compilations I must own over 25 albums of theirs.

For more recent artists it would be Sonic Youth, Mogwai and Stereolab.

Are we talking physical format owning?

In that case

1. Beethoven
.
.
2. JS Bach
3. Mozart
.
.
.
4. Frederick Chopin
5. Astor Piazzolla

If digital comes into play some rock artists like The Rolling Stones or Dylan may end up there close to nr 4 or 5.
