Which metal bands have the most albums?
For some odd nerdy reason, I'm curious about which bands have the most full length studio albums. I tried to find lists on the net in case some other weirdo tried to make one, but to no avail. So I decided to do some research and start a list myself. But I'm having trouble thinking up bands that may have a large number of albums. Although these days we've got a large number of bands that have 8 or 9 albums, such as good ol' Opeth, or Enslaved, who's evolution I have been enthusiastically following for a long time.
So anyway, the following is the very small list i've compiled so far, so any further contributions would be muchly appreciated! Generally i'm counting Full Length Studio Albums as an album. So obviously, Live albums, EP's and Best Ofs are out. But there's some grey areas, like compilations of unreleased material, or rereleased material, such as Darkthrone's Total Death, or Tom Waits new Orphans collection. Or albums that are half original material, half covers, like Cradle Of Filths Bitter Suites, or Fear Factory's Transgression, both of which are kinda made of poo and fail. And then we have oddities, Like Ulver's many releases, or like Moonsorrow's incredible new EP that goes for 68 minutes, which I subjectively feel is an album in it's own right, and one of their best. But I'm rambling. Blah blah *thread falls off front page*
Teh list!
Black Sabbath: 18
Rush: 18
Judas Priest: 16
Iron Maiden: 14
Darkthrone: 13
Napalm Death: 13
King Diamond: 12
Therion: 12
RuneMagick: 11
Paradise Lost: 11
Countess: 11
Graveland: 10
Interesting stuff:
Devin Townsend (including SYL, DTB etc, excluding non metal ambient): 12
Ulver (if I count teachings in silence): 10
But yeah, very incomplete list. Need more! Please help, you smelly ponces.
