Taking a page from psycat’s book, from last.fm:
Overall
From the past six months
If you make it three months instead of six, three more Grand Ole Party songs jump into the top ten. I love them.
“Two Coins”-Dispatch-176
“AM Radio”-Everclear-174
“Lovers in a Dangerous Times”-Barenaked Ladies-172
“The General”-Dispatch-171
“Under African Skies”-Paul Simon-171
“Wonderwall”-Oasis-170
“Angel Pumping Gas”-Postal*-169
“Love Is The Seventh Wave”-Sting-165
“Sweetest Thing”-U2-163
“End Of The Line”-Traveling Wilburys-162
This is more representative of what I listened to in high school, though, since everything else has had only two years to accumulate play count. I have a big old list of around 500 of my favorite songs that I play most of the time and add to and subtract from occasionally, so it takes a really long time for new stuff to get singled out for playing or put on the iPod enough times to make it to the top. I see that “The General” has fallen from top place, though- for the last three years or so it’s been on top, but I never single it out anymore.
*This may be the wrong artist. Google mostly has it listed as the Postal Service, though, which it’s definitely not. If anyone knows better, let me know!

With slight variations, I think this has been about the same lineup for the last five years…and a lot of the plays probably date from a few years ago, too.
Still my favorites, though. Huh.
I think these might be good starters for a “Byronic Moodiness” playlist, come to think of it.
No kidding - I listen to everything, honest!
My most played list is kind of weird because I don’t use iTunes that often on the computer…it’s really just there because I need to put songs on my iPod.
Looking on my work computer…
… which is a lot different than what it would be at home, even though they’re essentially the same collection.
This reflects heavily the fact that I listen to techno when I’m writing…
“Waltz, No. 2 (XO)” – Elliott Smith
“Pictures at an Execution” --The Kissers
“Beat That My Heart Skipped” --Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip
“Mari-Mac” --Great Big Sea
“The Wrong Side” --Abney Park
“Step It Out Mary” --Boiled in Lead
“Have You Ever” --The Offspring
“Fireplace” --REM
"White & Nerdy* --Weird Al
“Turkish Song of the Damned” --The Pogues
Ok…I will probably date myself but here we go.
hmm…How did Justin Timberlake get in there?
I love that song. It’s the closest thing my wife and I have to an “our song”. I listened to the Zero 7 album a lot when I went away travelling for six months and the lyrics of Destiny really resonated.
I’ve only had my iPod fo a month, and before that I used iTunes to make some playlists for our wedding, so this is not wholly representative:
Sweet About Me - Gabriella Cilmi
Soul Bossa Nova - Quincy Jones
Time to Pretend - MGMT
Ahprahran - The Sugargliders
I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor - Arctic Monkeys
Darkside Lightside - Ash (this is only here because I kept playing the last few seconds of it to adjust the “end time” to get rid of the silence before the hidden track)
I Want You Back - Jackson 5
The Ice Hotel - **Stacey Kent **(must be down to the missus as I don’t even know this tune…)
Sofa (of my Lethargy) - **Supergrass **(best title of the whole top 10!)
Other Side of the World - **KT Tunstall **(the wife again)
BTW I don’t understand people saying that their play counts don’t reflect what they play as they listen to most music on their iPods - isn’t the whole point that when you sync your iPod it updates the count? (My iPod Touch sometimes crashes and loses the info, which is annoying).
I think it must, which explains why almost all my Top 10 are Prince - he’s my go to playlist when I can’t think what I want to hear at work.
Anyone care to guess what my favorite band is?
