So, lets have it. What bands, groups, musicians, artists, do you own everything or damn near everything they've put out?

I'll go first:

Dilated Peoples
Nirvana
Queens of the Stone Age
Beastie Boys
Muse
Mos Def
Beck
Rage Against the Machine
Led Zeppelin

I'll add more as I think of them.

    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Read my post again. I OWN THE CD'S. I find it difficult to transport over 700 CD's to work with me and rip my CD's to MP3 so I can play them through Winamp on my computer at work.

    Don't tell me to read the post when it's clear you didn't do that yourself.

    Hey! Whenever this happens it makes me think of this episode of the Simpsons where Chief Wiggum says to Homer, "You're under arrest for violating code 782: making a police officer look stupid."

    Anyways, fair enough. You own a lot of CDs then. Awesome.

    Most of my "collections" are 2-3 albums by a band, which doesn't count. I only have a few true collections:

    Radiohead
    Wilco
    Modest Mouse
    Beck
    Built to Spill

    Kinda weak. Guess I gotta buy more music.

    There's so much stuff out there now, it is really difficult to say you own an artists entire output. Maybe one-hit wonders, or two album bands.

    I have a couple thousand cd's, maybe a lot more, I stopped counting awhile back. I don't think I can say I have any substantial artists entire output. The Stones I have complete up till around 1971 when The Glimmer Twins showed up. Zappa? He released 60 albums, maybe I have 35-45, mostly the early Mothers and orchestral stuff. I might have the entire output of Tom Scott & The L.A. Express, and Captain Beefheart.

    I am not the high water mark by far. I just like to grab all the albums by artists I really like. My music collection is pretty sporadic and my tastes are equally as wide ranging.

    No, not too many to count, but some to me are just boring as hell. I like Frank's work more than any other artist I've ever heard, but some of the smutty stuff (I'm no prude) and some of the later albums ("Listen to how fast my NEW band can play my OLD music.") just don't do a damn thing for me. I like everything he did that didn't have lyrics a lot more than the stuff that did.
