* I own at least 6 bootlegs each by all these artists.** yes, I really do have just about everything, thanks to the glory of boxsets. Got both artist's Prestige sets, Miles's complete Columbia and Capitol sets, John's Atlantic and Impulse sets, Miles's Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud and various 80s sessions, John's Bethlehem recordings and various Blue Note appearances as leader and sideman... Even a few Coltrane boots. Oh, and I'm pretty sure I own close to every note Ornette Coleman has played.*** got just about everything. All the Parlet albums, all the Horny Horns albums, the Eddie Hazel lp, the Godmomma lp, the George Clinton "Family Recordings" series of CDs ... sheesh, even the "By the Way of the Drum" 12" and the freakin' Jimmy G and the Tackheads lp.**** I've got everything up until about the mid-80's***** Ditto (basically, everything up until their stint on DIW)****** Yeah, I am a collector scum. I really do have just about every note these guys have officially released.

But that's totally subject to change every five minutes, and doesn't take into account all the artists who I love one and a half albums or a few singles or just one damn song by. I really wouldn't want to never be able to hear "Groove Is In The Heart" or 3ft High & Rising or "Lazarus" or Dig Your Own Hole or "I Want You Back" or In A Silent Way again, but there are big chunks of each of those artists' output that I'm not arsed about in the slightest.

We all know my answer.
Foo Fighters and Killing Joke.
I've been fine without Nirvana. Really. But I've got to listen to Killing Joke on vinyl at least once a day. And I'm a huge Foo Fighter fan and have to have those cds.
I'm more of a 'hardcore' Dave Grohl fan than anything else, really.

got all the above's records and have played them all to death, have seen them live numerous times (except waits :( ), have dug out most of the rarer stuff, etc.
i'd like to include other bands like the cure, my bloody valentine, katatonia, fugazi, but i'm not quite there.
