Live From The Distractions

I finally finished listening to all my music in alphabetical order yesterday or the day before, so then I moved on to listening to all the KFOG Live From the Archives discs I have in order. That list is almost finished, and then I will probably listen to my two new albums, Session for Robert J (Eric Clapton) and the Ray soundtrack. But I digress.

Yesterday, as I sat at work finishing and cleaning up some business rule meta-data for M, I happened to notice that someone had more than one song in the KFOG collection. Obviously, the work I was doing is pretty mind-numbing. Not that either the interest level of the work or the fact that the CDs have multiple songs by various artists was a surprise, but iTunes makes it very easy to identify all the artists who have multiple songs in a given playlist, so I did...

The following artists have multiple songs, with no duplicates, on KFOG's Live from the Archives 3, 5-11, and the 10th anniversary disk. Unless otherwise, noted, they each have a different song on 2 discs.

• Ben Harper (3 songs, 3 discs)
  
• Blues Traveler
  
• Bonnie Raitt
  
• Bruce Hornsby (1, 2), also has one song credited with The Range
  
• Coldplay
• Counting Crows (2, 3)
  
• Cowboy Junkies (3, 3)
  
• Dave Matthews Band (1, 2)
  
• Elvis Costello (3, 3)
  
• Indigo Girls
• Joan Osborne
• Joe Jackson
• John Hiatt (3, 4) - most discs
  
• Keb' Mo' (3, 3)
  
• Kenny Wayne Shepherd
• Lyle Lovett (2, 3)
  
• Melissa Etheridge
• Nickel Creek (1, 2)
  
• Patty Griffin
• The Pretenders
• Robben Ford, also one song credited with The Blue Line
• Ryan Adams (1, 2)
  
• Sarah McLachlan
• Shawn Colvin
• Susan Tedeschi
• Tori Amos
• Train (3, 3)
  
• The Wallflowers (3, 3)
  

So, then I decided I should do the same thing with the This is Alice Music CDs, of which I have 2-8 (all but #1):

• Alanis Moresette (3 songs, 3 discs)
• Barenaked Ladies (3, 3)
• Coldplay (2, 3) - only artist with a song that appears on more than one disc (Trouble, which appears on Alice 6 & 7)
  
• Creed
  
• Dido
  
• Duran Duran (2, 1) - only artist with 2 songs on one disc
  
• Erasure
  
• Jewel
  
• Luce (1, 2)
• Maroon 5
  
• Matchbox Twenty (4, 4)
• Michelle Branch
  
• Natalie Merchant
  
• Sarah McLachlan (5, 5) - most songs, most Alice discs
• Sixpence None the Richer (3, 3)
• Third Eye Blind
  
• Train
  

If I ever get the rest of the Alice & KFOG discs, I'm sure I'll eventually decide that I simply "have to" redo this list...
