If you include the stuff he did with Crazy Horse and CSNY, then it would be Neil Young.

I was wrong...I have more Gustav Mahler than Neil Young.

Yeah, if I combined all the NY, It turned out in the top 6 or 7 for me (10-12), right up there with Van Morrisson.

To be fair Ive cheated a little as a few of those albums actually come on the same disc. For instance I managed to pick up Friends/20/20 both on one CD for just under £5!

I can say for certain that it is Depeche Mode, although I don't even want to try to count since they are all physical copies scattered among my CD cases somewhere.

Depeche Mode made a mint off a young teenage version of myself. They had a great business strategy of making tons of singles that really acted as EPs. There was incentive to collect every rare piece of Depeche Mode because they would hide songs on them that rivalled their actual album output. And this was before the time of MP3s and being able to download a single rare song online. You had to find the physical copy and buy it before you had any idea what it even sounded like. Some exciting memories there.

Compilations aren't albums!!!

You can't say you own 24 Stones albums, for example when about a quarter of them are simply compilations made by record companies.

The point here is to see which artist you have invested the most with in response to their own investment in creating art; i.e. studio and live albums.

That said, and also saying that I detest mp3's and use them only if I absolutely have to, as I do now, living away from my collection; I am a huge record buyer, and have many contenders but since I don't have my collated list handy, I'm not quite sure who my champ is, but I suspect it's Miles Davis.

Long live the album!!!

The last album I bought was Franz Ferdinand's.

The self titled one.

Dylan, but not sure how many. Even if I didn't count bootlegs and comps, I'd still have more albums by Dylan.
