or Sonic Youth- just through sheer volume of their back catalogue

The bastards.

have taken hundreds of pounds off me.

Money well spent though.

Seven t-shirts
five gigs
almost all CD releases.
Bloc Party condoms (yes)
must be more

probably adding up to something around 250 quids ish

about 4 of their pre-in rainbows albums (my dad had the rest already)
Big fuck off in rainbows box set
2 gigs
2 DVDs
posters etc off waste

I'm a loser.

.

for sure
so prolific and everything they do sounds/looks amazing. i have 10 albums a 12" and a tshirt.

Radiohead probably. All their albums + discbox + ticket + some merchandise.

Got all the albums, and am going to London to see them at the Scala on the 8th. Will probably buy t-shirt's etc. and all.

Or Korn, because I used to be shit and buy all their t-shirts/hoodies, posters, beanies and a fucking voodoo doll teddy thing.

three albums, nearly all the singles, the dvd, three tshirts, 13 or 14 gigs, travelling expenses to london, glasgow and manchester for some of those shows

polyphonic spree- saw them about 20 times (including in Ireland and Scotland), robes, tshirts, and their albums and singles.

and then maybe the divine comedy and eels- owning all their albums and many singles, and lots of tshirts and a fair few gigs.

yes i know its a record company not a band

but thats so many cd's, club nights, gigs etc

25+ gigs
about a dozen t-shirts
and everything they released a few times over

SAD.

similar with 65dos

The Dangerous Aces (think your average shambolic local punk band)
We flew out to see them play in Derry last summer from Manchester. Snook in to the venue for free, but flight, hostel and eating and booze costs. Enjoyed it though.

Easily my biggest carbon footprint for a gig too.

since i have (almost) everything recorded and released under that moniker. but i think it's actually justin timberlake because of the expense of his concerts + t-shirts. mind you, i have seen bob dylan three times and bought t-shirts, and his concerts aren't cheap...

i dunno. one of them, anything.

them or Muse, or Art Brut.
I need to stop buying band t-shirts.

12 albums, 5 gigs. I've had to stop on the album front its getting silly. However another 14-ish i think, someone will probably correct me, to complete the back catalogue.

18 (ish) albums/greatest hits/dvds etc, 3 gigs (I've been to more by other artists, but they were cheaper...bloody £50 quid a pop for R.E.M.), a tshirt or two.

Ryan Adams has a lot of my £££ too.

all singles/albums up until The Blue Trees, about 5-6 tshirts, and loads of gigs, although a lot of those were freebies.

7 albums (inc. Broken EP)
3 remix albums/EPs
2 singles
1 deluxe live album with EP
1 promo
1 dvd
1 t-shirt
1 gig (Leeds Festival though, but that's why I went)

It's a shit Nine Inch Nails collection though, can't call myself hardcore.

Maybe Pearl Jam and Isis for secondary money takers.

Seen him live twice
Bought a T Shirt
Everything in his back-catalogue, including soundtracks, Grinderman, Birthday Party etc
Have been to see a couple of films just because he was involved.

I'd have to say it's between Mogwai or Unwound.

All the vinyl, then all the cds and seen 'em 47 times (plus t shirts etc)

17 albums, 15 EP's, 15 singles, 4 boxsets, 5 DVD's, 1 video, 2 books, plus countless bootleg DVD's, CD's, posters, badges etc.

And that's not even factoring in Bob Pollard's solo output (and Tobin Sprout's) which would treble that figure at least.

Rocket From The Crypt and Capdown really.

I've got all of their albums, singles (bar the two rare early releases), seen them live 15 times at various locations across the UK. Plus I have spent money on various merch items over the years.

Money well spent though, I never get bored with seeing Biffy play live.

seen them live loads of times (in 3 different states, no less!)
i've bought 3 t-shirts, a sweatshirt, and a messenger bag
all of their albums on CD and vinyl
loads of singles

hi, my name is cherrycola and i have a BRMC problem!

Sonic Youth, have all albums, all the SYR's, a few eps, all the deluxe edition releasese, 2 t-shirts, went to the atp mainly to see them, saw them play daydream nation gig in london, corporation ghost dvd. Also, made me listen to lots of ecstatic peace stuff...got a free kitten album and a lot of albums thurston moore has done by himself and other people.

after that, probably mogwai.

in recent years bright eyes

I started buying his music directly from him until eventually, I was getting signed letters saying "THANK YOU AGAIN SCOTT!" and postcards with his signature. Also Christmas cards.

It's got to the point where they could shit in a bag in front of me and I'd still pay for it.

The bag itself and the fee for being able to watch.

I sicken myself, but luckily they write great little ditties so its money well spent.

Couple of extortionate gigs, all cds/dvds, took my nephew last year and that day out ended up costing me a couple of hundred quid (generally entertaining him).

2 gigs, 5 Albums, 3 DVDs, 1 Shirt, several bootleged b-side rarities.

all the albums, all the unreleased/unlreleasables, hole EP, sorrow single, 'Then We Take Japan' import complilation, PLUS 3 t-shirts, hoodie and 10 gig tickets.

quick sum in my head makes that around £100 merch + £120 live = £220.

Thinking about it Muse are probably close, but thats just because their stuff is usually a lot more expensive. probably around £200 on them too (including tickets to see them at wembley last year, and tickets for me + my girlfriend to see them at the albert hall next month. ouch)

phwoar

definitely

5 cds

and I swear it was by a couple of fellows from Shed Seven.

So Shed Seven then

80s Matchbox just for the sheer number of times I went to see them - it at least runs into the double digits, maybe 15 or so times? But the gigs were never that expensive, so maybe Neil Young. I have 16 albums on CD, 5 on vinyl, countless posters, a DVD and 3 t-shirts ( It definitely would have been NY if I had paid to get into his gig a few weeks ago)

easily

5 Albums
2 DVDs
1 Collector's Box
2 Posters
1 T-Shirt
No Gigs :(

the Manics. All singles and albums and a date on every tour since 1992, plus festival appearances...

South Park '01
Shepherds Bush x 2 '03
Glasto '03
Earls Court '03
Blackpool '06
Victoria Park '08

Each album, japanese imports and £40 box. They are so worth it.

mostly thanks to 30-40 ish gigs all over the country, including about 9 festivals {i didn't go specifically for them but it counts}

have got about a hundred quid off me. Let's Wrestle have had about £50 but thats not including the massive train fares to go and see them.
