This is such an interesting question! I really had to think about it, and these numbers are mostly ballpark cuz don't have exact in front of me, but pretty sure my 5 are:
1. Pearl Jam: 55+ 2. DMB: 45+ 3. The Frames: 25+ 4. REM: 15+ 5. 3-way TIE: The Clash & Radiohead & Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros: 12
[Edited to add: Just realized I saw Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros 12 times as well, same number as I saw the Clash]
Hmm, I think this is right but I don't have my list on me:
PJ- 23 MMJ- 13 Phish/ Band of Horses- 6 (or 7 for BOH)
Tons more multiple times but I can't think. It hit me while doing this the amount of traveling I have done to happen to see these guys.... PJ in 8 states I believe, MMJ in 2 countries and 4 states, BOH in 2 countries and 4 states (I believe) and Phish in 3 states... Hopefully making them 2 countries in January.

A ton of bands 4 and under somehow I'm still forgetting someone or some other band.
Sadly, I've ONLY seen Pearl Jam once for unknown reasons at Jiffy Lube Bristow VA 2010. this should be in small print, great show though.

Band of Horses kick ass and I just was introduced to them (didn't know about them when they opened for PJ and I was sadly in a bar when they played). I can't wait to see them live. Though I did hear Ben play AATWT with PJ in Hartford.

The fact that you've seen Tinariwen and Rachid Taha at all, never mind 3 times each, absolutely blows my mind! Hoping Tinariwen gets to my area sometime on this tour they're doing now...
"What can you expect when you're on top? You know? It's like Napoleon. When he was the king, you know, people were just constantly trying to conquer him, you know, in the Roman Empire. So, it's history repeating itself all over again."
