My latest desktop computer arrived in late 2007, at which point I transitioned all of my music off of my laptop. 2 iPods, 2 iPhones, and an iPad later, that computer is still my main repository of music, with iTunes updating its stats every time I listen to something.

Having already gone through cassette tapes and CDs, and digital music, it’s time to roll everything up with the Top 100 artists that I’ve listened to as of 8/21/2013, according to iTunes.  After a week off, we return today to look at the next batch of artists, numbers 42-50, which includes a nice mix of musical genres and a legendary broadcaster.

#42: No Doubt

iTunes stats: 71 plays

12 songs make up the total for the band I saw live back in 1996 at the Elliot Hall of Music before they hit it big.

#43: Hole

iTunes stats: 69 plays

6 songs, written mostly by either Kurt Cobain or Billy Corgan, make up the total for Courtney Love’s band.

#44: Harry Caray

iTunes stats: 68 plays

2 versions of Take Me Out To The Ballgame, one representing each side of town, put the Hall of Fame broadcaster on the list.

#45: Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons

iTunes stats: 66 plays

The New Jersey based group used 7 songs to make up their total.

#46: Snoop Dogg

iTunes stats: 65 plays

8 songs make up the total for the ganja-smoking gangsta rapper.

#46: Toad The Wet Sprocket

iTunes stats: 65 plays

Only 5 songs were needed to put Toad up this high on the chart.

#48: Cracker

iTunes stats: 63 plays

Again, only 5 songs were necessary for Cracker to get on to the list.

#49: Weird Al Yankovic

iTunes stats: 62 plays

7 songs from the parody hit-maker place him just inside the upper half of our countdown.

#50: The Outfield

iTunes stats: 58 plays

The 80s band used a grand total of 1 song to place them at the midway point of our countdown, thanks to Gordon Beckham and my White Sox playlist.
