25 revisited
I love looking at people’s top 25 most played songs on iTunes – it’s a great insight into someone’s tastes, above and beyond what their currently listening to. I’ve done this before, but I’ve done it again so please, judge me on mine:
1. Be the one (Jack Penate)
2. Song for Aberdeen (Mando Diao)
3. The Band (Mando Diao)
4. Getting Wise (Yves Klein Blue)
5. Heartbreaker (Metronomy)
6. She’s the Girl That Makes Me Not Want to Be Alone (Red Riders)
7. Courtesy Laughs (Phoenix)
8. Summer Wino (Dan Kelly)
9. All day and all of the night (The Kinks)
10. No You Girls (Franz Ferdinand)
11. The Reeling (Passion Pit)
12. Cato is a Yawn (of Montreal)
13. C-C (You Set the Fire in Me) (Tom Vek)
14. A Thing for Me (Metronomy)
15. Gronlondic Edit (of Montreal)
16. Lonesome Road (Black Sorrows)
17. Sleepytime in the Western World (Blitzen Trapper)
18. Paper Bag (Fiona Apple)
19. If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life (Jimmy Soul)
20. Safronia B (Calvin Boze)
21. Witches Rave (Jeff Buckley)
22. A Thing for Me (Breakbot Remix) (Metronomy)
23. You’ve Got a Lot of Nerve (Red Riders)
24. Buttons (Sia)
25. Sad Girl (Supergrass)
And the song that just missed out:
Roll Over Beethoven (Chuck Berry) & Spooky (Dusty Springfied) – equal!
I’ve had this machine since May. I did this for my last two computers, and a number of similarities are interesting to note:
- I had two artists that had two songs in the list off my old lap top. Of Montreal is still here, but with two different songs from last time. What is interesting thought is that the two here are different from the last two. The other band, Van She, didn’t make the cut at all. Here, Mando Diao, of Montreal & the Red Riders are all represented twice, but Metronomy is here THREE TIMES, with the same song TWICE (a remix & the original). On my old, old machine at home, the Beatles and Supergrass where there twice, and again the Supergrass song is different.
- The Oldest Song on there is Safronia B, which was recorded in 1950. It was also the song added most recently to my machine.
- The song that I’m most surprised is on the list would have to be probably Sleepytime.
