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.<\/p>\n

Having already gone through cassette tapes and CDs, and digital music, it\u2019s time to roll everything up with the Top 100 artists that I\u2019ve listened to as of 8\/21\/2013, according to iTunes. Today we look at the the the next batch, numbers 51-60, which includes a nice mix of musical genres.<\/p>\n
