I'm not going to actually count them as most of my records are currently inaccessible, but I have a lot of these:

The Beatles
The Cure
The Clash
Nick Cave
Cardiacs
Kinks
PJ Harvey
Led Zepplin
AC/DC
The Pogues

If I was to fully consider my better half's stash then The Smiths, Happy Mondays, Stone Roses etc would push their way into the list.

CD box sets change everything. I probably would have said Pink Floyd or Leonard Cohen but I've got a few CD box sets so Fela Kuti takes the number one spot thanks to the Complete Fela Kuti box set. Next up after that is Herbie Hancock with the Complete Columbia Recordings box set, followed by a Miles Davis 20-album box set.

I've got a couple of CD box sets of Mahler along with a blu ray set by Abbado-Lucerne FO so I've got more Mahler than any other composer and by a country mile at that. In fact, I've got more Mahler than I do of Pink Floyd or Leonard Cohen so there you go. CD box sets change everything.
 
Lots of good top artist/bands, David Ellwood and Big Tabs have listed what i’d list growing up,
perhaps drop London Wainwright and Bob Dylan and insert Kraftwerk and Donna Summer,
now grown up/old,think some would be replaced by Folk/country and middle of the road easy listening stuff.:)

I’d forgot that one, if we were counting albums rather than items that would be up my list after Miles and Coltrane and ahead of Jarrett.
 
My record and CD collections are in such disarray due to having run out of storage space and my sloppy filing habits that it’s too difficult in most cases to count, but not counting duplicates, not including mono and stereo pressings or pressing variations and counting box sets as one. I am fairly certain:
1. John Coltrane (25)
2. Joni Mitchell (20)
3. Lee Morgan (around 18 as leader, but if I were to count all the ones where he is the featured player he would probably be number 1).
4. Keith Jarrett
Then probably in no order, but at above 10 entries:
Jackie McLean
Miles Davis
Charlie Mingus
Ornette Coleman
Fairport Convention
Little Feat
 
In no particular order:
Miles Davis
Neil Young
John Coltrane
Bill Evans
Jimi Hendrix
Charles Mingus
Beatles
Lee Morgan
Lee Perry
Velvet Underground
 
Holy shit some people have a lot from one artist/band!

I think mine is Radiohead, which is what, 8 or 9 maybe? Very few artists do I own more than 3-4 bits of.
 
I think rather than being a superfan I am just a casual fan of a lot of things. Even artists I really like I'm not interested enough to check out everything they've ever committed to recording.

I also suffer that affliction of only liking one thing someone has done and nothing else, so I own a lot of single albums.
 
'Yesterday, Matthew, I was a Factory completist
But tonight, Matthew, I'm gonna be with Jesus'.

HMHB are the nearest I get to completist; 17 albums plus a couple of EPs. Next is Bowie with 12 albums, then the Beatles with 11. Actually, scrub round that, as I also have four Beatles compilations, so they come second.
