Tough question, if I had to guess would be the Beatles...there must be a web site that tallies this?
Its probably not the beetles. Depends if your looking for the performers or writers of the songs. I know there's a site called what-song that has a top 10 for artists played in the most in movies. It's still quite new tho and hasn't tallied a lot of movies. But at the moment. The Rolling Stones is #1 on 20 movies. Mozart is 2nd with 18. David Bowie 3rd with 17. Marvin Gaye 4th with 15. Then there's, Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys, The Who, James Brown, Louis Armstrong and Madonna. But yer, generally The Rolling Stones would be accepted as the artist played in the most movies. This top 10 list will become more accurate as more movies are added to their site. Here's the link anyway, but for now its a pretty good guide. http://www.what-song.com
