Don't hate me, I saw them in '88 with Mudhoney at the Fillmore in SF. Incredible show. Do you have the Sonic Youth/Mudhoney Touch Me I'm Sick/Halloween split single?

Possibly not in the exact order but gut feel.

Verdi
Haydn
Beethoven
Mozart
Bach
Wagner
Puccini
Brahms
Rossini
Mahler
 
Intersting lists I must say. Quite a bit of jazz and 'dad rock' in there.
Thumbs up to Amber, Misterc6 and Simon SQ. Liked those.
Here's mine - alpha order. Based on no. of albums, no. of times i've seen "live" and time spent playing/listening at home.

Arctic Monkeys
Big Country
Elvis Costello
John Grant / The Czars
Joy Division
Live
Manic Street Preachers
RHCP / John Frusciante
Robert Cray
Suede

We share some tastes here (The National, Karine Polwart and Laura Veirs especially), but I only have the standard albums, none of the extended, rare, singles etc. nonsense of my primary selections :D
 
Cannot possibly count stuff in boxes under the stairs, but suspect:

Radiohead
The National
Miles Davis
Pink Floyd
Beethoven
Bowie (for Mrs Wb, much as I like it)
Shostakovich
Bach
Björk
Genesis

Could be way off in reality, but it’s a definite ish.
 
According to Discogs:

1. The Pogues (37 items)
2. The Smiths (36)
3. The Beatles (32)
4. Billy Bragg (29)
5. Happy Mondays (29)
6. Oasis (28)
7. Half Man Half Biscuit (26)
8. Madness (16)
9. The Wedding Present (15)
10= Depeche Mode (13)
10= Simon & Garfunkel (13)

Funny how they aren't necessarily your favourite artists. There's a clear bias towards bands I bought their singles as they were released in the list above. Some of my favourite artists I have say 6 albums and no singles at all. Nice to see The Pogues at the top though. I always say they are my favourite ever band but I thought I'd have more Beatles stuff to be honest.
