From “Top 500” playlist (500 songs and only ten have played more than 4 times): Nina Simone - Go To Hell (Mowo Remix) played 4X. The rest tied with 3 plays each (two different songs for Joni, though). Affinity - All Along The Watchtower Sheryl Crow - Every Day Is A Winding Road Delaney and Bonnie - Piece of My Heart Joni Mitchell - In France They Kiss On Main Street (live) Joni Mitchell - Blue Joan Osborne - One Of Us I would have expected a lot more Sandy Denny, Sarah McLachlan, even Melissa Ethridge or Sade. Chalk it up to the vagaries of iTunes shuffle mode, I guess. ---

[QUOTE=Cazzle] I’m mystified by the presence of The Superjesus on both lists. I’m not that into that song. [/QUOTE] I love that song! But had kind of forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder, I’m gonna run and listen to some Superjesus now. (Loved their first and second albums, then they kind of went a bit wonky.) ---

(Loved their first and second albums, then they kind of went a bit wonky.) [/QUOTE] Ha, you’re welcome. It is a good song - I just didn’t think I listened to it as often as I must. [This](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ko-b82YyEg0) should get you started. ---

That was a hella interesting exercise, actually (not an iPod, but my PC playlist): 1. **Shelleyan Orphan** - The Silent Day 2. \*\*10000 Maniacs \*\*- Trouble Me 3. **Shelleyan Orphan** - Shatter 4. **Tori Amos** - Winter 5. **Dido** - Hunter It’s weird to me that 1 & 3 are on the same album, but 2 edged in there. Also weird that Dead Can Dance & Cocteau Twins are lower down than those. I’d have thought both those would top the list… ---

I mostly use shuffle, so I got kind of a weird selection. These aren’t necessarily my favorites, but they are the most played: “Over Your Shoulder” - Concrete Blonde “My Baby” - Janis Joplin “Johnny Sunshine” - Liz Phair “Diet Pill” - L7 “One More Thing” - L7 “I Love Playin’ With Fire” - The Runaways ---
