Who are my favorite bands and can I prove it statistically? Well, yes I can. In Windows Media Player (I ain't an Apple clone) you can sort artist by total time and number of tracks. This reveals the Top Ten (all time in hours and minutes):
1. Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band 439 tracks, 28:39 hours/minutes
2. Jackson Browne 74 tracks, 5:28
3. Gary P. Nunn 89 tracks, 5:25
4. AC/DC 35 tracks, 2:12
5. Chicago 51 tracks, 2:11
6. Brent Burns 34 tracks, 1:50
7. Band of Heathens 24 tracks, 1:45
8. Jerry Jeff Walker 23 tracks, 1:30
9. Lynyrd Skynrd 16 tracks, 1:24
10. Styx 17 tracks, 1:21
Pretty accurate analysis (Top Five, exactly right). If you add Tom Petty to Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers they would come in at number 7 with 30 tracks and 1:45 hours. If you add Jamie Wilson, Kelley Mickwee, and The Trishas you would be at 20 tracks and 1:19 hours, good for number 12. The new Trishas album will put them solidly in the Top Ten.
