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.
 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. 08. David Bowie:- 10 albums, including a 3-CD compilation and seven studio albums. 08. Uriah Heep:- 10 albums, including one compilation. 13. Genesis:- 9 albums, including one live album. 13. Camel:- 9 albums, including a 2-CD compilation and one live album.
I've counted all double albums as two single albums in my list. Edited by Psychedelic Paul - July 03 2021 at 01:26 |

Only records/LPs no CDs since they are krapp anyway
 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
 , I have boxes not in my main collection) |

^ ^^ Crikey! 32 albums by Rush and 30 albums by King Crimson. I didn't know they'd made that many albums.

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) Edited by moshkito - January 10 2023 at 09:07 |

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.
