Here is a combined list of my most played 21 songs from both my home PC/iPod, and work PC.
I’ve listed 21 (rather than 20) because I’m going to assume the top one is some kind of computer glitch, since there’s no way I’ve listened to that song more than a couple of times since putting it into iTunes…

There’s a fair bit of OCS on there, probably because when it’s too noisy in the office, I tend to turn to that to drown things out a bit. “July” in particular is good for out-louding the nearby photocopier/printer thing when it’s going full-pelt.
I might note that when I listen to complete albums around the house, I tend to still get the CD out.
If you want to join in and post your list on your blog, make sure your iTunes is synced with your iPod, then sort by Play Count, and do File / Export Song List, which you can export to a text file from which you can chop out the info you want to post.

Sometimes I really feel the generation gap.
‘make sure your iTunes is synced with your iPod, then sort by Play Count, and do File / Export Song List, which you can export to a text file from which you can chop out the info you want to post.’
Interesting eclectic list though.
Hi Daniel… this is my first post from Sydney. My wife and I arrived two days ago. It is beautiful. Hope we can go to Melbourne soon… maybe we can meet each other.
What? You are trying to tell us that you HAVEN’T listened to Corduroy 1.8 billion times? At say 3 minutes for the song, it would have taken you (I think) 10,792 years to listen to it that many times.. (Mind you, maths was never my strong suit…).
That’s why I hate HATE HATE Itunes and now use Winamp… Much better.
Wow… my list would be very similar.
Billy Bragg is brilliant and Moby, PowderFinger and Gorrilaz make my list of “frequently listened to”.
No Cure songs though… shame on you!
My list is VERY different even though Daniel and I are the same vintage:
Mike Oldfield
George Winston
Jan Garbarek
Dead Can Dance
The Whitlams
Sting
R.E.M.
Sooliman E. Rogie
Crowded House
Angelique Kidjo
The vintage does come through seeing how there’s nothing on the list that has been in the top forty since the early 90’s (except some relatively recent R.E.M. but definitely none of Sting’s stuff since The Soul Cages)
