Top 10 acts that you spend the most *time* listening to

This topic has probably been covered before and that's a real shame since there are a finite number of total possible threads on this site /s but the question is:

What are the artists or bands that you have, in your rough estimation--even if they may not be your very favorite or the "best"--spent the most actual time listening to over the years? Like, My Bloody Valentine is one of my Top 10 all time bands, but they've only got about 25 songs that I listen to, and I'm not always in the mood.

For me, it might be:
1. The Wedding Present/Cinerama
2. Cocteau Twins
3. The New Pornographers/AC Newman
4. Destroyer
5. Led Zeppelin
6. Morrissey/The Smiths
7. Steely Dan
8. The Beatles/solo Beatles
9. The Cure
10. The Church

Contenders: Elvis Costello, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Bauhaus/Love + Rockets/solo, Chvrches, REM, Beach Boys, The Chameleons, Rush, Pink Floyd, The Who, The Kinks, Trashcan Sinatras, Liz Phair, Joy Division/New Order, Kate Bush, Van Morrison, The Pogues, Screaming Trees, Magnetic Fields

 

Rolling Stones
Bob Dylan
Grateful Dead and solo stuff & post 1995
Neil Young
Bruce Springsteen
Beach Boys
CSN and all their solo stuff &Manassas, CPR, Rides ...
Lucinda Williams
Lynyrd Skynyrd or Willie Nelson
Ryan Adams- Whiskeytown

 

1. The Beatles, that"s all i need to hear.

 

I love all that stuff too... Not enough time or $$ to fully wallow

 

Paul McCartney/Wings
The Beatles
Nick Lowe
Slade
Elvis Costello
The Rolling Stones
The Who
Mozart (technically 'various', but who cares?)
Glenn Miller
The Beach Boys

 

Considering that I started hearing music in the 1960s and started buying it in the 1970s, that would rule out virtually anyone who began recording after then. My top 6 are probably accurate; the rest are best guesses.

1. The Beatles
2. Bee Gees
3. The Beach Boys
4. The Rolling Stones
5. Elvis Presley
6. Elton John
7. Simon & Garfunkel
8. Paul McCartney
9. Billy Joel
10. Bruce Springsteen

 

The Beach Boys
Metallica
David Bowie
Genesis
KISS
Radiohead
Neil Young
Pearl Jam
The Monkees
Mr. Bungle

 

The Who
KISS
Eels
Aerosmith
Rolling Stones
Kinks
Levellers
Sister Hazel
Jethro Tull
Counting Crows

 

1.Ike Turners Kings Of Rhythm (1950s sides)

2.The 5 Royales

3.Miles Davis

4.Pere Ubu

5.Black Swing & Big Bands

6.Ray Charles

7.Grateful Dead (live 67-77)

8.Them & Van Morrison

9.Lou Reed

10.The Rolling Stones (1964 - 1972 & 1978)....this # can change at any moment but the other 9 are constants

 

The Beatles
The Rolling Stones
The Who
Led Zeppelin
Bob Seger
Jimi Hendrix
Paul McCartney/Wings
Pink Floyd
The Doors
Tom Petty

 

David Bowie
Talking Heads
Ryan Adams
The Divine Comedy

Felt
The Pet Shop Boys

Various Artists would come in second, while The Smiths and Morrissey would fit in between Talking Heads and Ryan Adams, which would mean two cancelled people in the top five.

 

The Beatles
The Monkees
REM
The Kinks
David Bowie
Neil Young
Steve Earle
Tom Petty
The Replacements
Otis Redding
