Another Music Thread - Which Artists Take Up The Most Space On Your iPod?

[J pold]

On a semi related note, today is Elvis's birthday, he would be 76.

[awildermode]

I think about 40% of my mp3's are Depeche Mode. Also have all the solo projects from band members in mp3 and CD.

[sclitheroe]

M, 36

Top 5 right now:

Django Reinhardt - 536 (working through a compilation of all his works)
Joe Satriani - 159
John Spencer Blues Explosion - 138
B.B. King - 77
Black Keys - 59

Interesting stuff everyone.

I'm guessing that only works if you sync your library. I manually transfer songs to my iPods and the numbers aren't showing up.

I think someone could erase my library and replace it with yours and I'd be perfectly happy.

I have 31 by Tracy Chapman. Her debut album holds my current record for most 5 star songs. Her songs just give me chills down my spine they are so moving.

[Winsor_Pilates]

382 - Pearl Jam (including Eddie Vedder Solos)
231 - R.E.M
196 - 2Pac
183 - Radiohead (including Thom Yorke Solos)
181 - The Hip
169 - Eminem
158 - Nirvana
153 - Outkast
143 - Lil Wayne
109 - The Roots
108 - Wilco

I think that's everyone I have over 100.

Jimmy Buffett
Billy Joel
I have lots of artists with only 2-3 of their songs.

Matthew Good takes up 1 gig of a 28 gig iTunes music library.

My main goal for music these days is to one step ahead of those Fffffkkkkers.

Radiohead isn't hip really. They try too hard to be truly hip. Same goes with Arcade Fire and the National. A bunch of awkward try hards.

Ariel Pink, now there's hip.

I think my iPod is too ancient to work the way that troutman suggests. It's an old 80 gig one. I don't get numbers.

If I had to guess:

Rolling Stones - bit of a mistake there accidentally downloaded the entire discography and have never gotten around to deleting it even though they are not remotely a favourite
Beatles
Bad Religion
54-40
Tragically Hip
Watchmen
Tea Party
Matt Good
Dead Kennedys
Foo Fighters
Queen
Blue Rodeo
Pearl Jam
Gordon Lightfoot
Megadeth
Metallica
REM
Jane's Addiction
Green Day
The Offspring
Bruce Cockburn
Tool
Smashing Pumpkins
Sarah MacLachlan
White Stripes
David Bowie
Soul Asylum
The Killers

Most hip/hop & R&B acts don't have the longevity and body of work to be able to own 100's of songs.

I rep'd some Hip Hop and Rap, but R&B mostly sucks

[ResAlien]

So can I be the most hipster of all hipsters since no one in my top 5 has been mentioned by anyone? Or I just like crappy music. That's also an option I suppose.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

There is a lot of stuff in my library that I've left off my iPod to maximaze space because I like my music lossless.

Here are the numbers from my ipod, so some will be considerably less than in my itunes library.

NIN - 282
Zeppelin - 152 all 86 studio songs plus How the West was Won, The Song Remains the Same and all audio from the live DVD
Pink Floyd - 125
Beattles - 111
White Stripes - 103
mc chris - 74 songs lots of skits tho
Korn - 70
System of a Down - 67
Eminem - 66
Clapton (Cream, D and the Dominos and solo) - 57
Queens of the Stone Age - 53
Tool - 48

M 26

I need more Tool. For some reason I don't have Undertow on there.
