If you go strictly by number of CDs owned, here's who's in my pantheon/favorite song:
4) Cowboy Junkies (9 cds)/Blue Guitar
3) Kronos Quarter (10 cds - tie): it was a tiny bit of a surprise that I have so many of these guys' CDs. I almost never listen to them. Nor do I have a single favorite piece.
3) Ani DiFranco (10 cds - tie)/Amazing Grace
1) Radiohead (11 formal purchases + numerous bootlegs)/The Gloaming
Near pantheon:
Calexico (6)/Tulsa Telephone Book (a cover)
The Frames (6)/God Bless Mom live version
Andrew Bird (5)/I
Wilco (5)/I Am Trying To Break Your Heart
Dandy Warhols (4)/We Used To Be Friends
Magnetic Fields/The Sixths (4)/The Dead Only Quickly Decay
Jurassic 5 (4)/Jurass Finish First
Modest Mouse (4)/Paper Thin Walls
PJ Harvey (3)/Rid Of Me live version
Spoon (3)/Anything You Want
M Ward (3)/Involuntary
(To be fair, I should also list other 3-or-more CD bands whom I snobbishly don't think are going to move up the list: Beta Band, No Doubt, Beastie Boys, Holly Golightly, Peter Gabriel, Hem, Prince, Police/Sting, Simon & Garfunkel/Paul Simon.)
Who's in your pantheon?
