I know on the site they have a band ranking system and thought I would look at my collection and see (with studio, live and soundtracks) which artists rank the highest.

Please note: I am a huge nerd when rating music. I rate each song (iTunes) and then rate the album out of 5. eg 12 tracks on an album, 11 are rated 5 stars and 1 is 4 stars. Therefore the score is 4.9166

1. Elbow = 4.85 (4 albums)
2. Doves = 4.83 (4 albums)
3. Muse = 4.79 (6 albums)
4. Coldplay = 4.72 (4 albums)
5. Radiohead = 4.66 (7 albums)
6. Led Zeppelin = 4.63 (4 albums)
7. Athlete = 4.62 (4 albums)
8. Peter Gabriel = 4.6 (11 albums)
9. Crowded House = 4.56 (6 albums)
10. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds = 4.51 (6 albums)
11. Pink Floyd = 4.49 (6 albums)
12. The Cure = 4.48 (18 albums)
13. Roxy Music = 4.48 (10 albums)
14. Paul Weller = 4.48 (6 albums)
15. The Church = 4.4 (11 albums)
16. Bryan Ferry = 4.39 (7 albums)
17. The Beatles = 4.36 (3 albums)
18. Echo & The Bunnymen = 4.33 (11 albums)
19. The Triffids = 4.33 (5 albums)
20. Foo Fighters = 4.31 (7 albums)
21. David Bowie = 4.27 (27 albums)
22. The White Stripes, = 4.27 (5 albums)
23. Death Cab For Cutie = 4.26 (6 albums)
24. New Order = 4.25 (8 albums)
25. Depeche Mode = 4.06 (12 albums)

Not surprised at Elbow and Doves as I love those albums. The Cure being lower is a shock to even me but a few albums miss the mark. David Bowie is also low because of the amount of albums he has and some I dont listen to much.

I just though that it was interesting you having David Bowie ranked higher than The Who and Pink Floyd. Also you have Beck on your list but no Black Sabbath. Still I must say this is a very good list.

Personally I'd take Beck over Sabbath and Bowie over The Who anyday.
