Your 5 Most Played Songs
 

People are always asking, "What's your favorite song," and it's always difficult for me to come up with an answer because it's such a subjective question. I have different favorites at different times of the day. The one thing, however, that can't lie, is the play count on my iTunes. I was looking at my iTunes at work today, and it was kind of surprising. Anyway, these are my top five from my work computer

"The Rat" by The Walkmen:
added 8/5/08. Play Count: 23x

"Thunder Road" by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band:
added 5/30/08. Play Count: 22x

"Subbacultcha" by the Pixies
added 5/21/08. Play Count: 19x

"Portions for Foxes" by Rilo Kiley
added 8/1/08. Play Count: 19x

"Baby, I Need Your Loving" by The Four Tops
added 6/3/08. Play Count: 18x

I'd be interested to see what other people's top fives are. I'm going to take a look on my home iTunes later tonight.

Great idea.
This from my work computer (usually more mellow than home, and I use Pandora primarily):

All from when I reformatted on 12/9/08

Rogue Wave - Lake Michigan - 32 plays
Brendan Benson - Cold Hands Warm Heart - 30 plays
ALO - Wasting Time (Isla Vista) - 30 plays
Band Of Horses - No One's Gonna Love You - 28 plays
Kalai - J Dog & The Hand - 24 plays

From iTunes on my home computer:

After transferring my music to my new computer on 11/20/08

Brand New - Degausser (168 plays)
The Clash - Straight To Hell (144 plays)
36 Crazyfists - Slit Wrist Theory (125 plays)
Bob Dylan - The Man In Me (121 plays)
Cream - Sunshine Of Your Love (118 plays)

Home Computer
 

Ok! From my home computer now

"Big Sister's Clothes" Elvis Costello: 113x

"Forever Young" Alphaville: 85x

"Santaria" Sublime: 84x (which is a huge surprise because I really don't even like Sublime...)

"Somebody To Love" Queen: 78x

"Date Rape" Sublime: 74x (another shocker...i swear someone hijacked my computer...this totally kills my street cred.)

"Mad World" Tears for Fears: 74x

What an odd discovery. I guess I'm a closet Sublime fan.

My Home Computer:

Since Format 8/12/08

Kings Of Leon - Holy Roller Novacaine 64x - my whitey rock mix
Raconteurs - Consoler of The Lonely 62x - pre-game warm up
Ben Harper - Black Rain 58x - election time justice!!!
Black Keys - I Got Mine 54x - same mix as Raconteurs
Jack Johnson - Rodeo Clowns 52x - chillin mix

But a little freakier is what I found just farther down the list:
2Pac - How Do You Want It - 39x &
DJ Kool - Let Me Clear My Throat @ 38x
I mean, they're classics, but I got more homie in me then I realized.

This was a cool idea, I didn't realize how much I rely on streamed content, and how little I listen to full songs out of my library!!

Hard to cut it down to 5 but...
 

This week, these songs have been played a zillion times and I am about to play them again right now

L'Arc en Ciel - Anemone
L'Arc en Ciel - Finale
Blitzkid - Torn Prince
Amon Amarth - Fate of Norns
Dying Fetus - One Shot, One Kill

My Top 5
 

1) Super Bon Bon - Soul Coughing - Irresistible Bliss
2) Never Get to Know - Paul Baribeau - Paul Baribeau
3) Styrofoam Boots/It's All Nice on Ice, Alright - Modest Mouse - Lonesome
Crowded West
4) Failing, Flailing - Streetlight Manifesto - Everything Goes Numb
5) All The World Is Green - Tom Waits - Blood Money

Feel as though this list makes me a Sad Little Bastard or something, but the numbers are off since my computer and ipod died, and haven't had a chance to put everything back on yet, ah well.
