Prior to 4e it was something like this in order of occurrence: Cleric, Fighter, Wizard, Thief/Rogue, Ranger, Barbarian and then everything else. Note that I spent more time playing 1e and 2e then 3e, so the list is weighted towards the original core classes.
With 4e it goes something like this: Cleric, Ranger, Rogue, Fighter, Warlock, everything else. Cleric is the most popular leader and remains the most popular class in general because of that, but unlike older editions I do occasionally see a 4e party with no cleric if there is another leader.

My personal class preference of the classes that are generally presented in the core system is Bard, followed by Paladin, followed by Sorcerer, followed by Ranger, followed by Wizard, followed by Cleric, followed by Fighter.
I've played too many games with too many players to have there be a standard set of "these classes show up most often." There's a huge group of players that play custom classes, anyway. When it's beginners, then sure, it's usually out of the PHB 1, but really anything goes.

I never played 4e, so I'm talking about 3.5 classes.
I personaly play wizard/sorcerer or bard. Just once I tryed a rogue and a psion (this one because I had fun learning psion sub system rules)
The most player classes i've seen are fighter or paladin, rogue, ranger and druid.

At the beginning of every campaign I enter I always have to work through my two favorites to see if I want to play them for the described campaign. Those two are Bard and Monk.

Prior to 4e our group composition generally was Fighter, Fighter, Cleric, Rogue, Wizard.
Post-4e it is:
Bard-barian, Invoker, Druid, Assassin, Warlord, Monk, Psion, Wizard.
There are so many classes that in 4e we've never even come close to the 'classic four'.
The roles for each class in 4e are a great guide for building a party.
We generally go for the following mix: defender, melee striker, ranged striker, controller, leader.
If we are short we drop the leader role and make up for it by each multi-classing to split healing responsabilities between the group.
I prefer playing 4e Wizards but am currently having a blast with a Pixie Archer-Ranger.

Personally: Fighters and Rangers since AD&D. A Druid, Paladin and a couple Fighter/Magic Users. The real reason was I did not want to die right out of the gate.
our last group had 4 Strikers (Barbarian, Sorceror, Rouge and Ranger) and 2 Clerics (one with very Striker tendencies). They tended to clean things up with out a Controller, it just took another round.

Half and half.
Clerics, Rogues and Wizards pairing up with Assassins, Barbarians and Swordmages, just as examples.

You ripped a gateway to Hell, killed half the town, and raised the dead as feral zombies. We're going to kill you. But it can go two ways. We want you to run as fast as you possibly can toward the south of the town to draw the Zombies to you, and right before they catch you, I'll put an arrow through your head to end it instantly. If you don't agree to do this, we'll tie you this building and let the Zombies rip you apart slowly.

You have to do the work first, and show you can do the work, before someone is going to pay you for it.
If you can't understand how someone yelling at another person would make them fight harder and longer, then you need to look at the forums a bit closer.
