If you see your favorite band in concert, you’ll always expect to hear their biggest songs, but does that mean they’re the most-performed? Not mecessarily…
Loudwire compiled a list of the most-performed rock songs by 50 rock bands, and how many times each song has been performed. Some are huge hits, and others, not so much. We thought for sure “Smells Like Teen Spirit” would be Nirvana’s most played, but we were surprised what their #1 most-played was!
Who actually keeps track of all of these, anyway? Especially Alice Cooper, who’s performed “School’s Out” almost three THOUSAND times!!?

- AC/DC– “The Jack” (1,743)
