Well I would guess the number is over 50,000 with all of the companies out there that did their own discs - not counting dups.

I think you are giving too much credit - how about remembering next month? Especially for most of the flavor of the week rock nowdays. Very few bands that actually have staying power potential today combine that with the fact that the record companies don't push the type of 'supergroups' like they did up until the mid 80's-early 90's. Make their buck fast & move on to the next. There will NEVER be (ok MAYBE a handful out of all the thousands of bands today) another newer rock band that will last more than 2 or 3 major hits (if that).
