In order of numbers of gigs seen:

The Fall (151 and likely to increase) Echo and the Bunnymen (100+, can't remember exact figure) New Order (frozen forever at 88 :( ) Sisters of Mercy (53) The Smiths (about 50) The House of Love (20 something)

and probably thousands of bands between one and a dozen times. Not many of whom I would go and see again, but the likes of Interpol, Arcade Fire, Foals, Neon Neon, CSS I would happily see many a time.
