Yes, I was counting prog-related albums, live albums and compilations and also counting double albums as two albums, but I wasn't counting downloads - just CD's and vinyl albums.

Are we counting all artists on this site, including prog-related?
Also do live albums count? Compliations albums? Albums purchased as downloads? If the answer to all 4 is yes, and counting double albums as 2 as per the OP, this would be my list: 1. Wishbone Ash 32 2. Neal Morse/Neal Morse Band 27 3. Camel 10 4. Transatlantic 9 5. Mostly Autumn 7 6. Flower Kings 5 7= Yes 4 7= Spock's Beard 4 9. Flying Colors 3 10. Pink Floyd 2 11= Barclay James Harvest 1 11= Beatles 1 Edited by AlanB - July 04 2021 at 06:54 |

You just reminded me, I'll have to update my list as I forgot to include Mike Oldfield.

Tangerine Dream occupy a whole shelf and are way out in front. After that then Vangelis and probably Mike Oldfield. if you count re-issues I have a massive amount of ELP (shock horror!).

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Hi,
I won't even bother counting ... VdGG Peter Hammill I have so many of both, that I can't even entertain a count or which album I want to hear first! However, the most of anything I have is Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze. KS might have the most CD's in my collection. Djam Karet Mike Oldfield Vangelis P. Hawkwind Frank Zappa Anthony Phillips Can (projects and solos) Edited by moshkito - January 10 2023 at 09:07 |

Is this ordered by (estimated) frequency? I'd expect Tangerine Dream to have more than a hundred if not 200; can Hawkwind (or anyone on your list) top that? Who is part of the offsprings of Can in your collection? As I wrote I have some 60 and that's far from all (Jaki and Damo are on a lot of albums that I don't have, although I think I have Holger's official LPs/CDs completely - not including all singles and mini-LPs though - and most of Irmin's).

Geezus...I'm not going to sit down and count through hundred of CDs and albums (including duplicates, boxed sets and one-offs). Offhand, I'll say:
Jethro Tull The Beatles Pink Floyd Frank Zappa (including Mothers and solo) The Moody Blues Black Sabbath Led Zeppelin Yes Genesis King Crimson David Bowie Santana |

I'm only going by my incomplete cataloging on RYM, numbers may vary over time...
1. Yes = 24 [this surprised me] 2. Eloy = 22 3. Genesis = 21 4. Marillion = 21 5. Electric Light Orchestra = 20 [this surprised me too] 6. The Flower Kings = 18 7. Steve Hackett = 17 8. Glass Hammer = 17 9. Porcupine Tree = 17 10. Rush = 17 11. Spock's Beard = 16 12. Ozric Tentacles = 13 [I thought this would be higher] 13. Pink Floyd = 13 [the Shine On box set counts as 1 here; if I added the 7 albums, PF would be at 19 (or 20 if I include the early singles CD from the box)]

Hawkwind and solo albums of members, including the Psychedelic Warriors album - all official releases VdGG and Peter Hammill and solo albums of other members - all official releases Guru Guru - all official releases Gong and offspins - all official releases Magma (including the offspin Offering) and solo albums of members - all official releases Barbara Dennerlein - all official releases Embryo - all official releases Tangerine Dream, including solo albums of members - all official releases Klaus Schulze - all official releases Can and offspins - all official releases Nektar - all official releases Steve Hackett - all official releases that's just a rough guess though; when we like an artist we get all official albums of them, studio and live, so there may be others we have more of
