1. Bob Dylan (1394 tracks)
2. The Mountain Goats (664)
3. Galaxie 500 (266)
4. Neutral Milk Hotel (253)
5. The Decemberists (201)

8. Neil Young (177)
9. The New Pornographers (163)
10. Red House Painters (153)

I can’t see the top two changing anytime soon, what with The Mountain Goats’ new album out on 21 Aug — and Bob Dylan’s the following week… Happy music days ahead…
