Your top 10 Artists (ranked by # items in your collection)

[darrenyeats]

Album-wise I have 200 favourites (somewhat dynamic) and I'm either listening to them, or otherwise discovery (treating as another topic listening to my song playlists on streaming). From these 200, only 7 artists appear with more than one album.

U2 (4)
Beatles (2)
Fleetwood Mac (2)
Mercury Rev (2)
Muse (2)
Neil Young (2)
REM (2)

I'm surprised myself about which artists these are, since 100 of these 200 are year 2005 onward, with the biggest decade the 2010s. Huh.

You are indeed! I was keen to know more about people's real collections.

You are indeed! I was keen to know more about people's real collections.

I share this sentiment but it’s ignoring streaming where, if you are organised you could come up with perfectly legitimate lists based on playing times over quite a few years now.

at my ripe age I need the physical object to remember I like it

I suppose Roon doesn’t lie so whether i like it or not the results of the sjb analysis is

MF DOOM
Laura Marling
Mad Professor
Bon Iver

All physical as in Vinyl LP and if no LP then a CD sub or both if LP later released

RUSH
YES
Genesis
Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin
Joni Mitchell
Kate Bush
Rickie Lee Jones
Stephen Wilson/PT etc

Difficult with classical but had a thing for Herbert Von Karajan.

 

[maccar]

We share some tastes here (The National, Karine Polwart and Laura Veirs especially), but I only have the standard albums, none of the extended, rare, singles etc. nonsense of my primary selections

No, nor me, don't even like buying EP's either
If you haven't already, take a look at the Folk/Acoustic thread.

Monolake

[MVV]

Dylan
Neil Young
Records with Sandy Denny on
Probably Elvis Costello
Difficult after that, I can't face counting.

 

[ChrisS]

At a rough approximation

Richard Thompson definitely first even without counting Richard and Linda albums.
Greg Brown
Loudon Wainwright III
John Prine
Frank Sinatra
John Coltrane
Thelonious Monk
Miles Davis
After that, it’s a tough call without counting everything. Probably Charles Mingus, Wayne Shorter, Horace Silver or Nanci Griffith.
