OK, this is compiled from the site that tracks my computer music plays. Rank the following twenty artists in order, from most popular to least, in accordance to their number of unique listeners. I shall determine the winner by using an extremely intricate mathematical formula I developed two minutes ago. I stayed away from majorly obscure artists.
Well anyway, here then in scrambled order, they are:
The Rolling Stones
The Strokes
Portishead
Beck
Nirvana
Radiohead
The Mountain Goats
Goldfrapp
The Decemberists
The Beatles
Kate Bush
Moby
Led Zeppelin
Leonard Cohen
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Bob Dylan
Morcheeba
David Bowie
Tori Amos
The Clash

Just swap them with the 'Stones.  |

oh sorry Al, I should have been clearer - it's based solely on the amount of listeners (at the site that tracks my plays) each band has.

You are at this point in the lead, Al. I will pick names out of a hat in a few days if you are still without competition.
