doesn't have to be a staggering number, just a surprising number for them.

inspired by a Shaquille O'Neal freestyle on a Kay Slay mixtape (!!) where he says at the end "I don't have to do albums no more...already did six...2 platinum, 2 gold...and 2 wood...but I'm still too good".

lying about the # of albums or the sales figures? AMG lists 5 (maybe he's counting the Kazaam soundtrack). as for sales, every rapper lies about that shit.

great is maybe not the right adjective, but its very existence definitely makes the world feel like a better place. "I got three rings, foo, Yao Ming, boo!"

Duran Duran. That have way more albums than you'd think because of lots of obscure stuff the did in the late 80's/early 90's when nobody really cared about them anymore.

― Ben St. Jacques (Ben St. Jacques), Thursday, 25 March 2004 14:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Oooh, I've just noticed that half my last message went missing:

"David Thomas has released 11 either in his own name alone or with The Pedestrians, His Legs, The Wooden Birds, Two Pale Boys or The Foreigners (that's including the live album that's only available in the "Monster" boxset of course but...." excluding the 2 he's recorded with Rocket From The Tombs, 1 album with Red Krayola, and 18 albums with Pere Ubu!)

― Hurlothrumbo (hurlothrumbo), Thursday, 25 March 2004 15:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Julian Lennon has five albums, which seems like five too many.

― m.e.a. (m.e.a.), Thursday, 25 March 2004 15:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Chumbawumba have done too many albums, but then I'd expect that.

― Baravelli. (Jake Proudlock), Thursday, 25 March 2004 20:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I've never heard anything by Jandek, but the article I read about him made him sound like the type who wouldn't be as prolific as he is (50 LPs?).

― nickn (nickn), Thursday, 25 March 2004 22:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Scooter has 11.

― Siegbran (eofor), Thursday, 25 March 2004 22:16 (twenty-two years ago)
