I had to extend it to a Top 12 instead of a Top 10 so I could include Camel and Genesis in my list too. Smile 

01. Santana:- 31 albums, including a 5-CD box set, a 2-CD and 3-CD compilation and one solo album by Carlos Santana.
02. The Moody Blues:- 18 albums, including a 2-CD compilation and the Hayward & Lodge Blue Jays album.
03. Yes:- 15 albums, including a 5-CD box set and two times 2-CD compilations.
04. Led Zeppelin:- 14 albums, including four 2-CD compilations and six studio albums.
04. Mike Oldfield:- 14 albums, including one compilation and one soundtrack.
06. Tangerine Dream:- 12 albums, including a 5-CD and 7-CD box set. 
07. Pink Floyd:- 11 albums, including one 2-CD compilation. 
08. Renaissance:- 10 albums, including a 2-CD Jane Relf's Renaissance compilation.
08. Caravan:- 10 albums, including one 2-CD compilation and two live albums.
08. Jefferson Airplane:- 10 albums, including a 3-CD and 5-CD box set and a 2-CD compilation.

Only records/LPs no CDs since they are krapp anyway Tongue And you said "albums" so whether 1 LP or 2-LP, that is 1 album to me. The Wall is 2-LP but is 1 album.

Rush: 32 albums
Genesis: 20 albums
Marillion: 18 albums
Pink Floyd: 14 albums
Porcupine Tree: 13 albums
King Crimson: 12 albums
Yes: 12 albums
Dream Theater: 11 albums
Pineapple Thief: 9 albums
Peter Gabriel: 9 albums
CAN: 9 albums
Steven Wilson: 9 albums
Riverside: 7 albums
Spock's Beard: 7 albums

(error factor +/- a couple LOL, I have boxes not in my main collection)

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

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)]

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

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).

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)
