There are considerably more Genesis tracks that I dislike (OK, I could have said Genesis 1970-1980 to make it more accurate)

But generally put, I love Beatles whenever they sounded like The Beatles (i.e. mostly, at least through 1967)

the bands i own the most stuff by and listen to the most are probably the red hot chili peppers, talking heads, and depeche mode. if you count people, also give me theo parrish and carl craig (productions and deejay mixes) and im good to go.

about 4 bands

― tremendoid (tremendoid), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 03:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Give or take the occasional mediocre live album or unauthorized collection of middling outtakes, I would not want to be without the complete recorded works of:

MX-80 (Sound)
Led Zeppelin
Beatles
Love
John Coltrane Quartet (and, eventually, Quintet)
Velvet Underground
P-Funk
Captain Beefheart
minutemen

Black Sabbath, Pere Ubu, Van Halen, Motorhead all coulda made this list but for unfortunate changes in personnel that altered 'em forever. (My support for most bands is mile-wide/inch-thick.)

Melt-Banana
Aretha Franklin

different collections were built up at different points in my life . . .

high school:

The Misfits/Samhain
Throbbing Gristle
Velvet Underground
Swans
Sonic Youth
Einsturzende Neubauten

college:

Nurse With Wound
Enoch Light
Borbetomagus
Autechre
AMM

grad school:

Iannis Xenakis

In terms of sheer number of releases owned it is a tie between Nurse WIth Wound and Enoch Light.

for me, most of the bands around the mr bungle axis - faith no more, fantomas, secret chiefs 3, trevor dunn's trio convulsant, lovage, ASVA, tomahawk, etc. not only do I have all the official releases, but I'm also awash with bootleg audio and video. I suppose that qualifies as 'hardcore'.

ever since file-sharing got easy i haven't had the displeasure of being obsessed with any band to the point of buying every crappy album, thank god.
