I last did this little exercise a year and a half ago. Since then I’ve added 2281 songs, for a total of 9051, filed under 1409 different artists (287 more).
Unsurprisingly, Neil Young still tops the list. Wussy and New Model Army are new to the top 20. So is Dan Fogelberg, but that’s likely to be temporary. I’ve added a bunch of Ruth’s albums, but haven’t gone through them to weed out the songs I don’t need to hear again.
