I have the most CD's specifically by....

David Mason · Post by **David Mason** » 30 Aug 2006 12:00 pm

1) John McLaughlin, in various incarnations
2) Beethoven
3) Ravi Shankar

It then warps wildly eclectic. I had a whole bunch of vinyl records stolen in 1988 that would have skewed strongly towards the Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, Hendrix/Santana/Clapton etc., my how times change.

My wife would kill me if she knew how many CDs and LPs I really have!

51 Joe Pass CDs (not counting all the 20 or so other discs I have with him on them).

32 Thelonious Monk

34 Jimmy Smith

At least 20 from each of these: Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, Bird, Miles, Coltrane.
Others up there are Jackie McLean, Hank Mobley and Bill Evans.

Now I know where all my $$$ goes! I've always taken a part of my gig money to buy a disc or two.

Myself. I have hundreds of copies of each one, sitting in boxes, each one waiting for some kind hearted person to give them a home.

Seriously, I'd have to say Jim Hall. I think he's one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

David Mason · Post by **David Mason** » 2 Sep 2006 11:39 pm

Ummm, you guys were all supposed to pitch in here....

YOU have the most CD's specifically by: the Cowsills, Marilyn Manson, etc.

David Lindley related stuff- El Rayo X, Jackson Browne, everything I can find that he played on including some "unauthorized" concert recordings. Can't get enough.
I have also been finding lots of stuff by the Campbell Brothers recently, but nowhere near enough to challenge the Lindley pile.

Bill McCloskey · Post by **Bill McCloskey** » 3 Sep 2006 5:16 am

Miles Davis and Glenn Gould hold the most shelf space in my house.

Steinar Gregertsen · Post by **Steinar Gregertsen** » 3 Sep 2006 5:17 am

Hmmm... Joni Mithcell, Jimi Hendrix, Ry Cooder, Prince.. But most of it is on vinyl and I don't have a record player anymore..

A lot of these are vinyl LPs. I generally try not to focus too hard on one composer, player or band - instead, I distribute widely, I'm no completist. But I have wound up with a pretty good pile of each of these, in no particular order.

Wes Montgomery
Barney Kessel
Kenny Burrell
Thelonious Monk
Django Reinhardt
Duke Ellington
Count Basie
Elvis Presley
The Band
Bob Dylan
Buck Owens
Hank Thompson
Merle Haggard
Charley Pride
Connie Smith
Ray Price
Waylon Jennings
Johnny Cash
Doc Watson
Norman Blake
Bill Monroe
Flatt & Scuggs
Stanley Brothers, Ralph Stanley
Emmylou Harris
The Byrds
Albert King
Roomful of Blues, Duke Robillard, Ronnie Earl
Roy Buchanan
T-Bone Walker
Neil Young
Frank Zappa
Ry Cooder
The Ventures
Ludwig van Beethoven
Antonio Vivaldi
Johann Sebastian Bach
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Donny Hinson · Post by **Donny Hinson** » 8 Sep 2006 4:55 am

Well, I can't give an honest accounting unless I include the vinyl. There's too much good stuff that's not on CD, and will never, ever make it to the CD format. (Those of you who choose to ignore records are just losing out on a lot of really good music...your loss, not mine.)

Number one would be Buddy Emmons. I didn't plan it that way, but I am a steeler, right?

Number two would be Ernest Tubb/Troubadours, IMHO he was THE quintessential band leader.

Number three would be a tie between Buck Owens and Ray Price.

The rest of my collection (thousands of records and hundreds of CD's) is so diverse that it literally defies categorizing.[This message was edited by Donny Hinson on 08 September 2006 at 05:57 AM.]

Ron Page · Post by **Ron Page** » 8 Sep 2006 5:43 am

Merle Haggard and Alan Jackson provide the bias on my collection, but I've probably got CD's by 100 artists (some from earlier vinyls and tapes) and about 20 steel players.

Mark Lind-Hanson · Post by **Mark Lind-Hanson** » 8 Sep 2006 7:36 am

for me it generally looks like
Grateful Dead
Bob Dylan
Beatles & their solo work
Byrds
the Band
New Riders
Fairport Convention/Richard Thompson
Donovan (yes, Donovan. I prefer the pre-1971 Donovan- an original talent in his time, highly self-overvalued in the present day)
Ravi Shankar

-those are just the primary niches.

Ray Minich · Post by **Ray Minich** » 8 Sep 2006 10:03 am

Buck Owens - 8
Lloyd Green - 7
Pink Floyd - 6
Bobbe Seymour - 5[This message was edited by Ray Minich on 08 September 2006 at 11:05 AM.]

I find it interesting how often The Byrds show up. The last time I counted, which was at least 25 yrs ago, it went- Merle Stones Beatles

The Mothers

Stephan Miller · Post by **Stephan Miller** » 15 Sep 2006 9:49 am

If we're including vinyl and cassettes, then it's not even close-- Thelonious Monk. After that, Miles, Trane, Django, Beatles, Ry Cooder. And somewhere in outer orbit there's a dusty carton full of Kingston Trios and Ian & Sylvias...

John McClung · Post by **John McClung** » 15 Sep 2006 11:10 am

On good ol' vinyl: Barefoot Jerry, featuring Russ Hicks on fabulous steel. Very important early influence on my ears and playing.
