How many albums do you own ?
« on: April 26, 2010, 03:00:00 PM »
Just out of curiosity, how many albums do own ? And by albums, I mean the physical CD, not the albums that you bought on iTunes. I will sure be impressed by numbers of CD some of you actually have.

I'm 18 and I have (watch out) 28 albums and 6 live dvds !!!!

How about you ?

*Yes, Jesus Christ himself. Nothing less will do.

Somewhere in the vicinity of 200

If we're adding live jazz/grateful dead bootlegs, it probably numbers close to 500

Somewhere around 1000, mostly bought in the 90s. I've bought less than 50 physical CDs in the past ten years, preferring digital formats now. (Yes, I know CDs are digital, you know what I mean. :D )

Not too sure but I'm currently working my way through buying all the CDs that I couldn't afford before I got my current job.

Difficult to say. Counting only those which count as "my own", meaning the ones I listen to the most and mostly bought by myself, would be around 50-60, plus like 10 DVDs.

However, I have the fortune that my family has fairly similar musical tastes, so taking everything that's free to listen for everyone... No idea, but 500-700 would be a reasonable assumption.

Currently 57. I used to have well over 100, but I either sold or gave away the stuff I bought years ago that I stopped listening to and probably would never listen to again.

Somewhere between 700-900... I really haven't had time to COUNT everything, but to put it in perspective, I have almost everything by Rush, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Transatlantic, Spock's Beard, The Flower Kings, Genesis, Yes, The Beatles, and many other bands' full studio discographies... and many of the aforementioned bands' non-official stuff I own too, so between CDs (studio, live, etc), and DVDs (concerts, documentaries, etc.), it adds up.

Let's put it this way - I've spent too much of my income in the last decade on music, and I (more often than not) prefer to buy the physical product than a digital download. You know those Caselogic 92/100 CD case wallets? I own 10 of those and they're all full of CDs and DVDs... so that's somewhere around 800...

Maybe someday I'll actually count everything out and set up some sort of Office document to keep track of it all!  :lol

Counting both vinyl records and physical CDs, I have a little more than 500.

EDIT - If we counted bootlegs aswell, then I am up around 750-800.

You can't own bootlegs people, those don't count. (Otherwise I would smash all your collections to tiny bits :lol)

I *think* (can check later) that between CD's, vinyl, and DVD's I have over 800 pieces, probably closer to 900 now.

Which is why I included it in a different count.  :P Its still pretty impressive when you just pull out boxes filled with CD bootlegs though, imo. ;)

You don't even know the albums, cassettes, and VCR tapes.  Oh man, how much money I spent on bootlegs.............

71.

I just counted.  Although I can't remember exactly how many I have in my car and how many I've lent out, so it could be between 70 and 75.

I have around 30 CD's but I stopped buying them once I discovered the joys of vinyl.

So far, only have 7 LP's but I started from scratch only few months ago: (pressing year in brackets, all bought off the net)

Opeth - Morningrise (2000)
Pink Floyd - Animals (1977)
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of The Moon (1973)
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven (2002)
Yes - Fragile (1971)
Nas - Illmatic (1994)
Les Fragments De La Nuit - Musique du Crepuscule (2008)
on par with the anguish one would have from getting unconsensually bent over and buttloved.

I've only been buying my music for about a year though. Someday I hope to buy everything I've downloaded illegally but it will be a long time before that happens unfortunately.

There's only a couple bands I've done that for, and I'm slowly working on one of them (although they have a HUGE catalog of unofficial releases, like YtseJamRecords, which will take me AWHILE to get them all)... also, I'm only 26 and have been buying music CDs for about a decade, or a little less, so I have a looooong life of collecting and listening to music ahead of me!

Wow Nick, considering the average cost of one album is around 10-15$, you spent around 10 000$  :lol And that doesn't includes all your bootlegs. That's a lot of money :lol

Not to mention most of it is obscure prog and power which I'm sure you can't just find in a Best Buy, so you got shipping costs on Amazon and stuff.

Now you guys make me feel badly about having all of it. :lol

And since Phant is so impressed I'll do a quick breakdown...

This isn't actual albums, but discs, so something like Chaos in Motion deluxe edition would count as 2 dvds and 3 cds...

I own-
817 normal CD's
6 24k gold plated CD's
1 Mini CD (w/ Japanese FII)
8 Cassettes
105 regular 12" records
1 red 12" record
11 regular 7" records
111 DVDs
3 Blu-ray discs
3 VHS tapes

Edit: And 2 (soon to be 3) books directly related to a musical product.
