I am not a completist, and would rather get albums I like from many different bands than all the albums - the good, the bad, and the ugly - from a favourite band or artist. At present I own only one almost complete discography - that of Blue Oyster Cult (I am only missing Club Ninja, which I will eventually get, though it's by far their weakest album).

Hundreds. Please don't ask me to name them all...
Let me put it this way: complete Zappa, complete Dylan, complete King Crimson. Leave me alone. :P

The whole discographies of Fred Frith, John Zorn, Zappa.
No, I'm kidding. I still have to complete King Crimson, Magma, Yes, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Carcass, Living Colour, Front 242 or Cabaret Voltaire.
Except for Carcass and Living Colour (less than 5 studio albums), I have at least 5 albums from these bands.

With below 5 albums:
The Decemberists
Muse

I just started collecting vinyls (and albums in general) so I don't have a lot of albums.

None, but the closest I've got is Pink Floyd. I have all their 70s albums (AHM to The Wall), plus Momentary Lapse, Division Bell and P*U*L*S*E.

I forgot about The Beatles and Neurosis. I own many discographies of bands with less than 5 albums which are too numerous to list. I also have Wu-Tang-Clan's discography but i probaly should have just left that out.

Understood. I actually do agree with your sentiments, and am usually looking to discover new music myself (though I'm not as voracious as I was a few years ago for new music, but still I'm regularly discovering new music). It's a journey, and I like to take different directions and explore lots of different music. It would be nice if more people would move out from their comfort zones and discover music such as Terry Riley and Sun Ra.
It would've been interesting if this topic had been about how many complete studio album discographies has one heard as well. I could even count Rush then due to a friend.
I figured you'd be a pretty speedy reviewer. I'm sure I've spent much more time on devising silly topics, or writing inane posts, at this site than you've spent on a great many reviews. I wish I would write reviews, but I don't really "feel them", or get into the zone when I'm writing them so it always feels like a chore. I respect the more prolific reviewers prowess. I had thought Zowie Ziggy might have overtaken you already until I lokked as I knew you'd slowed down. I think "Mandy etc." might have written the largest number of reviews.

That's my main complaint about this type of thread.
I could even rename it as to "how narrow minded can you be " by concentrating all of your effots one genre or a few artiste..... but I won't since I promised atruce.
As for review writing..... ZZ observed a long break after reaching 2112 (i took less than a week), but I figure next spring....
Put it this way.... during the week, in North Holland, I listen to music from 6 or 7 PM until midnight (i don't have TV and no wek access at home) , this between four and five times a week >>> soo you can imagine that I have time to write reviews.
my Brussels WE, I forget reviewing even though I still listyen to much music, but I have my social and family life to woory about plus I have a TV and web access
Let's also count my six to eight hours in the car per week where I also listen to music closely, I take mental notes of what's to say about the music.... so when I write the review.... it flows freely and effortlessly.
And if you sometimes find that a review is poorer, it's because I was probably not ready enough but had to write the review or rent another week the album. These are generally the thursday evening reviews....

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Hah, kudos to you Slarti for having the complete Sting discography as well. In the process of researching my earlier answer to this question, I learned that Sting's coming out with a new CD later this year. It will be the first non-prog CD that I've bought in a year or two.
