Many, if not most of us have gone from records to tapes to CDs and beyond, and will often acquire an album we always liked in any new format that becomes the listening standard.
Well, even if you're not replenishing your collection, what artists do you have the most albums by, and why? Could be stuff that was available on older formats PLUS newer releases on the newer formats. And yes, some of us have eveything a certain artist or band ever released, but that's not necessarily the intent of the inquiry.
You might be subjecting yourself to potential derisive remarks by admitting to owning a buncha albums by certain artists (as I'm about to do), but so what----it's your money and your listening collection.
As for me, the reigning champ is MOTORHEAD: Loud and always unique. Musical influence RE bass playing and "singing" (angle of the microphone, that is), too. 23 CD albums, a four-CD boxed set, one DVD/CD combo, one VHS.
I've also got a number of CDs by the Alan Parsons Project (melodic, well-produced/sonically-stunning, nice hooks...lyrics can be a bit banal at times, tho).
Tangerine Dream (mostly live stuff): I've always liked their use of VCS3s and related synths to set a bass "riff" and rhythm, then they add odd-but-listenable textures on top. You find yourself listening in a different way, and it usually doesn't get as boring as one might think. Disprortionate
amount of TD live material in my own collection.
The Ventures: The greatest and most influential instrumental rock band ever. Bogle, Wilson (and occasionally Nokie) are probably all now in their 70s and can still come up with great stuff.
