Top 5 artists w/most music on your computer

Lazylion · #1 12-14-2006, 07:26 PM

I found a way to list the music on my PC by amount. I've put a lot of CDs on here! My top 5 are:

Joe Satriani 10 albums, 123 songs, 10 hours
Flecktones 10 albums, 118 songs, time not given
Victor Wooten 7 albums, 74 songs, 5.7 hours
(that's a whole lotta Vic right there!)
Kathy Mattea 8 albums, 86 songs, 5.2 hours (I met her once)
Jimi Hendrix 5 albums, 60 songs, 5.2 hours

Rounding out the top 10 are Jaco, the Beatles, the Neville Brothers, Cream and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Jaco would be #3 if you lump in the Weather Report tunes.

But that would push Jimi out of the Top 5!

So how do yours rate?

Edit: What about the Bottom 5?
Mickey Gilley 4 songs, 11 minutes
Brent Mason 6 songs, 18 minutes (he's great, I need a lot more of his stuff)
Lynyrd Skynyrd 5 songs, 19 minutes (Free Bird is NOT one of them!)
J. Geils band 5 songs, 21 minutes
The Ohio Players 4 songs, 21 minutes

Of the top of my head I know that No. 1 is Mr. Frank Zappa. I have more then 60 of his albums converted as MP3 on my computer at home. I'll check the numbers when I get home.

OK

Cool! I need a lot more Zappa. I have a lot on vinyl and tape from way back. Eventually I'd like to have it all on CD. But I'll have to win the lottery first!
