JS Bach has BWV numbers through 1126.

Some pieces are as short as 1 minute, some longer than an hour.

Maybe a distinction must be made between songwriters and composers, noise artists and film scorers, guitarists and singers, etc.

Just checked my itunes and have come up with 352 Smashing Pumpkins songs, minus 20 from the Greatest Hits and another 15 or so that are covers, so thats roughly 317 songs Mr Corgan has written (that I have been able to get anyway). I don't have all of the latest album yet (Teargarden by Kaleidyscope) so that number will go up...
