THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO's Most Frequently Played Artists 1998-2015


 
 
 



This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl will stream its 850th show this Sunday, December 4th, from 9 to Midnight Eastern at www.westcottradio.org. Last year, for the occasion of our 800th show, our faithful pal Fritz Van Leaven tallied up all of the acts we played during the course of our first 799 shows, and came up with a list of our most-played artists. With another year added, it's possible that some of the rankings may have changed, but it's nonetheless a good snapshot of where TIRnRR is and what we think this place looks like today:
