Most listened to artist

@bzawa 

I was so surprised by the number of responses that I had to do a count. Would anybody care to guess which artists received the most votes?

 

Seems like Stones, Steely Dan and G. Dead are pretty popular, here.  

No order and just the most often listened to in my lifetime:  Milstein, Heifetz, The Los Angeles Jewish Symphony (live), Shelly Manne (in jazz combos), Jan Peerce (opera and liturgical), Ruth Etting, Leonard Pennario, Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Claudia Muzio   

While they are still all favorites, I have 100s more favorites that I listen to regularly.  Sinatra is ubiquitous and heard everywhere.  Manne in jazz is the same in small jazz combos.  Music is my avocation.  I have 61,100 LPs/CDs/78s/R2R recordings in my collection and listen 2 hours minimum nightly.  I certainly have heard Hal Blaine and the wrecking crew all the time with their possibly 10,000 recordings/backing for film and recordings, who hasn't that is a baby boomer? 

To  all Bach i must add the 8th book of madrigals by Monteverdi ...Schutz Geistliche chor music ...Vivaldi...

I listened each one of these 4 composers 1,000 times at least ( counted it for Monteverdi)  for 60 years...

Only one "popular" singer i listened as much , it was Léo Ferré three albums dedicated only to poetry by Baudelaire, Rimbaud and Verlaine ...

I’m really late to this party, but I have enjoyed reading almost every post and have found several groups I had never heard of. Being over 65, my list mirrors a lot of what has already been posted, but I can add to the list.

Rare Earth

CCR

Steppenwolf

Herb Alpert

Ornet Coleman

BB King

Simon & Garfunkel 

CSN & sometimes Y

The Yellowjackets

Glen Miller 

Mannheim Steamroller
