[Embattle]

In terms of the number of albums owned, who is your most popular artist?

Kate Bush - 6 Albums

 

[mank!]

Pink Floyd - 12

 

[Trem]

Pearl Jam, about 40 odd. I bought every one of their bootleg european tour cds :\

 

[leggy]

Pearl Jam and ...

I think Incubus are a close second for some bizarre reason.

If we're going buy bootlegs, singles and other shiznit as well I may have to recount.

Manic Street Preachers - 31 ;/

I also noticed I lied originally, I have 16 Cure albums so that beats Fink Ployd.

 

[Testin da Cable]

I'd have to say U2, but I stopped buying them after Achtung Baby so that makes....uh 9?

 

[doh_boy]

Oasis :|

 

[nath]

Radiohead.. most of them, missing my iron lung ep.

So that's uh.. 7.

 

[Xtro]

I can't remember offhand exactly how many (studio albums + live albums + bootlegs) but its either Killing Joke with 20+ or Dead Kennedys with about the same.

 

[mank!]

Xtro my lad. I am quite keen on Killing Joke's songs Eighties (Nirvana ripped this off, then denied it the lamers) and Democracy. I was hoping you could point me in the direction of other good Killing Jokes songs in a similar vein, although it's not imperative. Good songs by them will do nicely.

 

[Sir Frizz]

Jimi Hendrix - 2

Hi there

If you are going by the number of albums, mine would probably be Sterolab, with summat like 13 albums (It keeps them off the streets I guess) closely followed by Joy Division/New Order (some may think its sacrilegious to lump them in together..but not me!) with about 12 I think

If you are going by sheer volume of stuff though, I think my missus has just about everything the Jesus and Mary Chain ever released on all formats..I think she has a "thing" for em

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

I've got about 100 odd The Cure albums, singles, DVDs, Videos, and Bootlegs. Beck and Led Zep are in second with about 40 each.

 

[bids]

Led Zep - 8

 

[xane]

Eurythmics - 6 or 7 (?)
Talking Heads - 6
Dire Straits - 5

Hi mate.

Eighties is ok, Democracy is ok too. Sounds a cliche but Killing Joke really did change their sound with every album.

Most albums are good but I'd recommend the first album (self-titled Killing Joke), Revelations, Night time and their great early 90s comeback album Extremities, Dirt and Other Repressed Emotions.

Basically they went from punkish to new wave to glossy produced but interesting, then to outright shite then did a great comeback in the early 90s back to their old loud selves.

You MUST get Wardance the single that really broke them tbh. Other individual songs I'd recommend are Change, Psyche, Love Like Blood (classic), Millenium, Extremities, Follow The Leaders, Firedances and Frenzy.

Tbh if you like Eighties you would REALLY love Love Like Blood, it is one of their most loved songs.

HTH

Surely EPs aren't to be counted? If they are, then mine is the Manics... Otherwise it'll be Manics / Bowie / Springsteen prolly, the Blues Explosion bringing up the rear (not literally).

She has good taste, congratulate her.
