Acts With Multiple Entries...

I think I got them all- 44 acts have multiple entries on this list- and they account for 119 of the 200- a whopping 59.5% of the list.

If we combined Joy Division/New order, that would give that entity eight tracks. And, adding Morrissey to The Smiths would give that entity seven.

5 Tracks (5)
New Order
The Pixies
Prince
R.E.M.
The Smiths

4 Tracks (4)
The Cure
Depeche Mode
Talking Heads
U2

3 Tracks (8)
David Bowie
Duran Duran
Peter Gabriel
Joy Division
Madonna
Public Enemy
Bruce Springsteen
Tears For Fears

2 Tracks (27)
The Beat
Kate Bush
Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds
The Chameleons
The Clash
Elvis Costello and The Attractions
Devo
The Fall
Go-Go's
Hüsker Dü
Michael Jackson
The Jam
The Jesus and Mary Chain
Loose Joints
Liquid Liquid
Mission of Burma
Morrissey
Nine Inch Nails
Orange Juice
The Police
Psychadelic Furs
The Replacements
Siouxsie and the Banshes
Split Endz
The Stone Roses
Violent Femmes
XTC

Re: Treble: The Top 200 Songs of the 80s

I think The Cure actually have 5 entries (#'s 154,150,70,30,8) & The Jam 3 (#'s 116,88,14)

Indeed...

you are correct, RBob. Must have thought I had all entries and neglected to include one for each. Thanks for checking that. :)

So, that makes 44 acts that account for 121 of the top 200- 60.5% of the list.

18. Talking Heads - "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)"

I was surprised to see this song is not even bubbling under. If this list is included in the next update, what are the chances it is bubbling under/in the top 3000?

Strangely, this song has only been included in the Pitchfork 500 and now this list, so I still don't think that warrants an inclusion at AM...

Very strange - it's their best song!

Re: Indeed...

And in AM top 200 of the 80s, 33 artists count for exactly 50% of the songs (considering that Grandmaster Flash counts for one whether he is with Melle Mel or the Furious Five)

I'm surprised the Cure only have one song in AM top 200 of the 80s.
