This excludes tapes and vinyl since that would require some serious effort. Happy tops the list with 102 songs, followed by: Happy Rhodes Aimee Mann Cocteau Twins Beth Orton Laurie Anderson Two Loons For Tea Emily Bezar Jane Siberry / Issa Veda Hille Imogen Heap Fiona Apple Two more that just missed the cut off are: Rachael Sage Natalie Merchant (solo only, not including 10,000 Maniacs) What is not represented (obviously) is the long tail of artists in which I have only a single album or just a few songs. Many of them I enjoy immensely. Still this is a good representation of my tastes and it would be difficult to replace any of them with someone else I like about as much but just have fewer songs of theirs. Of course the best part of these lists is to mine them for artists you don't know.

(On the other hand, I put Susan Court in even though she only released one album.) I'd add Julia Holter.
