Top 9: Recurring Artists in my CD collection

Back in the "old days," artists made these wonderful inventions called "CDs." Now, I won't further stress the brains of our younger generations by telling them about cassettes, records, and 8-tracks. CDs are still made today, but it's an iTunes Generation now, isn't it?

Anyway, being a musician, collecting music in the latest fashionable device was a need for me, especially as a teenager. Instead of getting an allowance, I was permitted to join Columbia House, which started my obsession.

Recently, I've been importing all of my CDs into my iTunes library. We even made a database for this endeavor.

I was really interested in finding out who the top 9 Artists/Bands in our collection are, so I turned to Skotte, my resident IT dood, to figure it out. Here's what he came up with.

8-11 was a four-way tie between: Splashdown, Renee Fleming, Marilyn Manson, and Joshua Bell.
7. The Smashing Pumpkins
6. Primus
5. Ani DiFranco
4. Frank Zappa
3. The Beatles
2. Tori Amos
1. Pearl Jam

As you can tell, we have a pretty wide range of musical tastes. Now, if we could get Joshua Bell to do a project with Pearl Jam, that would be pretty sweet!
