Hahahaha, wow, Juvenile, huh... I accidentally left "Regulate" by Warren G. playing on my muted computer for 18 hours and did the same for "Play" by David Banner so each of those have 200+ plays, I just sort of ignored them, though.

[RiverFenix]

1) bob dylan
2) pink floyd
3) led zeppelin
4) frank sinatra
5) radiohead
6) air/eels/ modest mouse (about a tie)

If you go by primary artist only, it's:

1. The Replacements
2. Jay-Z
3. New Order
4. Aaliyah
5. Joy Division

If it's by contributors to a track it's probably more like:

1. Basement Jaxx
2. Ghostface
3. Jadakiss
4. Beyonce
5. Jay-Z

[tonypaladino]

Linkin Park
Offspring
Queen
Less Than Jake

Plays? I thought we were counting number of tracks by artist/band.

Hmmm, I dunno how to find out how many plays my songs/artists/bands have.

Damnit. I was doing it by play count... Which is where Audioscrobbler comes in handy.

[Tron]

Okay, here is my corrected list:

1. Led Zeppelin
2. Radiohead
3. Elton John
4. OutKast
5. Beastie Boys

Ugggh, I like my first list better.

He really is. Saw him live recently, just blew me away. You ever hear "Puffy" off of Little Words from the Flecktones? While he's always amazing, I'm especially impressed every time I listen to that solo.

[TheIrishThug]

1. Incubus
2. Nine Inch Nails
3. Red Hot Chili Peppers
4. Outkast
5. Jimi Hendrix

Outkast shouldn't really be on the list due to the fact that their albums r 1/2 skits.
System of a Down would take 5th with this correction.

The Cure (137)
Oasis (100)
Outkast (95)
Mighty Mighty Bosstones (86)
The Beatles (86)

Reel Big Fish (75)

[jesusarenque]

1. The Rolling Stones
2. Steve Earle
3. The White Stripes
4. Van Morrison
5. Joaquin Sabina

[MrWookie47]

I think I'm going to be the odd man out:

1. Duke Ellington
2. Louis Armstrong
3. The Beatles
4. Pink Floyd
5. Django Reinhardt

[coffeecrazy1]

1)Jeff Buckley
2)Dishwalla
