What al*** do you think is owned by the most forum members?

Considering the probable makeup of forum members, and the albums that are often seen on the 'What are you playing now?' threads, I was wondering what album is owned by the most people on the forum?

I think the likely candidates are:

The Beatles 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'

Pink Floyd 'Dark Side of the Moon', or maybe

Pink Floyd 'Wish You Were Here', or possibly

Beethoven 'Symphony No.5'

I considered Led Zeppelin, but thought there would be a significant number of members who do not like them, the same I suspect for Miles Davis 'Kind of Blue', where as the above albums seem to have a wide appeal, but I may well be wrong.

I think with the latter it would owning any recording of it, and then the distinction becomes a little blurred. Maybe the consideration is not album, but work of music, which might rank a symphony and a modern album alongside each other.

I would also disregard different releases, remasters, just if you own that piece of music.

Anyway, I am sure that I have missed something really obvious, but those were the ones that came to mind. Any other suggestions?

Well, I do own "Sgt. Pepper's" and "Back In Black".

But I wonder -- how many people own "London Calling"? I can't help but think that would be a big one.

How about something more recent?

I bet there are a few who own U2, Radiohead or Coldplay.

Of all the albums mentioned so far 'Brothers In Arms' is the only one I own!
