We were talking about some classic rock bands on the shoutbox yesterday. Curious which songs of them I play the most, and if my most played match what's considered their best songs. Went to my iTunes and sorted them by # of Plays. No, not showing the Play Count, as it's embarrassingly high. 
Led Zeppelin I really liked playing the IV album over and over again, didn't get into their later albums as much. Kashmir deserves a much higher rank. The dates are from the "Date Added" column to my music collection, mainly via copying off of friend's collection, or piracy.
Beatles I clearly like their later stuff more, though why'd Sexy Sadie get to #1 ? Think I made a playlist with a lot of songs from "Let It Be" and the "White Album". Across the Universe is one of my favorite Beatles songs. Yer Blues isn't that memorable; probably just there cause it's in between other songs I like in the album or playlist. Good choices for best Beatles songs, though not the order.
and 2 of my favorite 90s musicians. Well, Beck still making music, but most of his best stuff is from the 90s. I must like the melody of Tropicalia, or just thought it sounded witty? Think I've overplayed "Mutherfucker" a bit much, and such gems as "MTV makes me want to smoke crack" and "Satan gave me a taco" are missing
At least for the Smashing Pumpkins, the rank seems close to what a best of might be
