1. The Beatles - 97
2. The Rolling Stones - 68
3. Bob Dylan - 64
4. Bruce Springsteen - 58
5. ZZ Top - 57
6. Iron Maiden - 54
7. Green Day - 53
8. AC/DC - 50
9. David Bowie, George Thorogood - 47

Stones, Dylan and Bowie still have plenty of albums I haven't yet rated, as does Elton John who I reckon will kick out George once I do.

Removing the four star selections gives:
1. The Beatles - 21
2. Bruce Springsteen - 14
3. AC/DC - 11
4. Santana - 9
5. Bob Dylan, Iron Maiden, The Rolling Stones, ZZ Top - 8
9. David Bowie - 7
10. Deep Purple, Eric Clapton, Green Day, Kris Kristofferson, Pink Floyd, Queen - 6

This, but it also speaks to a band's long term consistency.

For me, Zappa, The Mountain Goats, and Super Furry Animals fill my top 3.

Zeppelin, Pearl Jam, and Modest Mouse. A lot of it has to do with bands simply have a larger library.

Weezer-78 Songs
Beatles-72 Songs
Tori Amos-68 Songs
White Stripes-55 Songs
Radiohead-50 Songs

Yeah, nothing really special. Obviously, there are many artists, such as Frank Zappa and Black Sabbath, who I love dearly, though have songs too long to meet my playlist requirements.

I made my music player select only songs that I rated at 4 or 5 stars and counted the top bands that came up and here are my results:

The Beatles: 60 songs
Pink Floyd: 51 songs
The Rolling Stones: 48 songs

Given that The Beatles were together for only 10 years, only 7 of those releasing albums, that is quite a feat. And I don't consider myself a big Beatles or Stones fan and have only one album from each on my chart. I do have a strong pro-Floyd bias though.
