Fierce_Deity835 · 13th May 2009

My personal favorite is Foo Fighters. I love what Dave Grohl does with the guitar, and his lyrics.

Yossarian · 1st September 2010

With the slumber of my PC I haven't been listening to my iTunes much so my last.fm stats are out of date but still fairly accurate.

1. Manic Street Preachers
2. Akira Yamaoka
3. The Paper Chase
4. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
5. Tom Waits
6. Nine Inch Nails (mainly when its instrumental so Ghosts is my favourite album of theirs).
7. Blur
8. Killing Joke
9. Rammstein
10. Metallica
11. Faith No More
12. The Cure
13. Queens of the Stone Age
14. The Clash
15. Foo Fighters

Others from the top 50, Rico, Aereogramme, The Delgados, Mogwai, British Sea Power, Tomahawk, Joy Division, Terrorvision, Kenickie, Meshuggah

**Jogurt the Yogurt** · 8th September 2010

Alright, I just compiled a list of the top artists in my iTunes database sorted by how many times their songs have been played (an iTunes play, i.e. played through to the end of the track). I should break this down even further and divide this by the total number of tracks I have for each band, giving a perhaps more meaningful plays per track average (higher numbers meaning more listening concentration).

But for now, just the straight list. Remember, this isn't sorted in order of my particular favourites, just by how much I've listened to each band.

01. The Beatles
02. The Kinks
03. Pink Floyd
04. Fleetwood Mac
05. The Who
06. Jethro Tull
07. U2
08. Led Zeppelin
09. Cat Stevens
10. George Harrison

This means George Harrison is the only artist to appear in the Top 10 twice.

11. The Rolling Stones
12. Cream
13. Bob Dylan
14. John Lennon
15. Paul McCartney
16. Neil Young
17. Donovan
18. Ray Davies
19. Deep Purple
20. Guns N' Roses

21. The Jimi Hendrix Experience
22. Eric Clapton
23. The Pretty Things
24. John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers

This makes Eric Clapton the first artist to appear as an official member of three separate entries on the list (i.e. not counting guest appearances).

25. Tyrannosaurus Rex
26. The Small Faces
27. Yes
28. The Zombies
29. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
30. T. Rex

31. Ragnarök
32. Hawksley Workman
33. Queen
34. Derek and the Dominoes

And now Eric Clapton is an official member of four separate entries on the list...!

35. Ringo Starr

Poor Ringo is the lowest-ranked solo Beatle, but I guess that isn't too surprising. If anything, it's impressive that his solo material alone ranks him higher than:

36. Traffic
37. David Gilmour
38. Neil Young & Crazy Horse

This makes Neil Young the second artist to be an official member of three separate entries on the list.

39. The Doors
40. Chuck Berry

41. Scott Walker
42. David Bowie
43. Midnight Oil
44. April Wine
45. Supertramp
46. Rush
47. The Yardbirds

And now Clapton is an official member of an amazing five separate entries in the Top 50 alone!!!

48. Emerson, Lake & Palmer
49. Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
50. Muddy Waters

51. Paul & Linda McCartney
52. Wings

This makes Paul the third artist to be a member of three separate entries, and the second artist to be a member of four separate entries in the list.

53. The Jeff Beck Group
54. The Byrds
55. The Traveling Wilburys

George Harrison is the fourth artist to be a member of three separate entries.

57. ABBA
58. Blind Faith

Eric Clapton is now incomprehensibly an official member of six separate entries in the top 60. He's in approximately 10% of the bands I listen to!

59. Graham Nash
60. Fairport Convention

61. AC/DC
62. Roger Waters
63. The Beach Boys
64. Elvis Presley
65. The Graham Bond Organisation
66. of Montreal
67. Grand Funk Railroad
68. Simon and Garfunkel
69. Chicken Shack
70. Robert Plant

71. David Crosby
72. Buffalo Springfield

This makes Neil Young the third artist to be an official member of four separate entries on the list.

73. Robert Johnson
74. B.B. King
75. Tom Petty
76. Faces
77. Skip Spence
78. Camel
79. Syd Barrett
80. The Black Mages

81. Styx
82. Paul McCartney & Wings

This makes Paul the second artist to be a member of five separate entries.

83. Black Sabbath
84. Aerosmith
85. The Mothers of Invention
86. Quicksilver Messenger Service
87. Tim Hardin
88. Percy "Thrills" Thrillington
89. Peter Green
90. The Animals

91. George Harrison and Friends
92. Jefferson Airplane
93. Phish
94. Eagles
95. The Allman Brothers Band
96. Gandalf
97. The Hollies
98. Moby Grape
99. Nick Drake
00. The Band

Creedence Clearwater Revival and Madonna are tied outside of the Top 100, missing inclusion by only one song play.

EDIT: Note that the total play count for the #1 band (The Beatles) is 147.7 times larger than the total play count for the #100 band (The Band).

**Jogurt the Yogurt** · 8th September 2010

If we decide we want to do that Trapster Memorial CD Swap, I could just put the one most-played track track by each of the Top 20 artists in this list on there and it would be a solid mix.

hayes1516 · 23rd September 2010

Great Big Sea, AC/DC, The Script and Johnny Cash. Bit diverse stylistically but if you ever listened to my iPod you'd think I was schizophrenic from all the different musical styles. Honestly i like all types of music as long as the song is good.
