Your "Most Listened To Song/Album"

Until the last 3, I thought you were my long-lost brother I never knew I had.

 

I leave iTunes playing in the background while I'm not around, so I'm not sure this list is quite reflective of what I've heard. (The No. 1 song was a complete surprise to me!) But it's eclectic enough to represent my taste in music.

1. Mr. Tambourine Man -- The Byrds
2. Are We The Waiting -- Green Day
3. Come A Little Closer -- Dierks Bentley
4. Temperature -- Sean Paul
5. Breathe (2 AM) -- Anna Nalick
6. White Flag -- Dido
7. Number One Spot -- Ludacris
8. Mama Said -- Metallica

and quite a few tracks tied for the No. 9 and 10 spots

Murderer (Remix) -- Barrington Levy & Beenie Man
Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy) -- Big & Rich
Collide -- Howie Day
The Load-Out -- Jackson Browne
Pray -- MC Hammer
Rockin in the Free World -- Neil Young
Over And Over -- Nelly Feat. Tim McGraw
Savin' Me -- Nickelback
Here I Am -- Patty Loveless
This Is How A Heart Breaks -- Rob Thomas
Safe And Sound -- Sheryl Crow
My Bologna -- Weird Al Yankovic

 

Guilty pleasures! Not proud, just honest.

 

If iTunes went back to 1990 or so, Tumbling Dice would be miles ahead of any other song for me.

As it is, I always put my iTunes on random, so I have a five-way tie between the Bee Gees' Night Fever, Billy Preston's Outa-Space, the Commodores Easy (extended version!), David Bowie's Speed Of Life and Lynyrd Skynyrd's Ballad Of Curtis Loew.

And I'm relatively confident that I'm the only one in the universe to have Guided By Voices' Game Of Pricks and Sergio Mendes' Look Around tied among other songs at runner-up.

Tumbling Dice has been played once.

 

OK Computer - Radiohead
A Night At The Opera - Queen

Whatever and Ever Amen - Ben Folds Five
Girls Can Tell - Spoon
Madmotorfinger - Soundgarden

 

Ten - Pearl Jam

As far as an all-time list, it's hard to say, though Appetite for Destruction is my all-time No. 1 album. But lately (i.e. for pretty much the last month straight) I can NOT stop listening to Jenny Lewis' solo debut, "Rabbit Fur Coat" -- absolutely an awesome album.

 

The short list...

The Pernice Brothers, "Live a Little"
Neil Finn, "Try Whistling This"
Elliott Smith, "XO"
Elvis Costello, "Get Happy!!"
Paul Kelly & The Messengers, "Gossip"
Ben Folds, "Rockin' the Suburbs"
Miles Davis, "Kind of Blue"

The most-played on the iPod are "Cruelty to Animals", "7:30" and "Grudgefuck" by The Pernice Brothers, "Still Be Around" by Uncle Tupelo, and "Landed" by Ben Folds.

 

Paid In Full -- Eric B. and Rakim

 

Two more to fill out my top 5:

The Who - Who's Next
Jayhawks - Tomorrow the Green Grass

 

"Good Life" by Kanye West and T-Pain is my #1 at the moment.
"Uh Oh" by Ja Rule and Lil Wayne is #2.
"Everything Little Thing She Does is Magic" is my #3.
