(Before It's News)
This went around a different corner of my social-media universe while I was off in Waterloo, away from my iTunes. I was curious about it, though, so looked at the contents of the “25 Most Played” playlist, and having done that, I might as well post them here (the number in parentheses is the number of times it’s been played according to iTunes):
- Beautiful Wreck,” Shawn Mullins, (280)
- “In The Mood,” Glenn Miller And His Orchestra, (279)
- “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” Darlene Love, (278)
- “Almost Saturday Night,” John Fogerty, (277)
- “Shake It Up,” The Cars, (275)
- “Sunblock,” Emmet Swimming, (275)
- “Life, In A Nutshell,” Barenaked Ladies, (273)
- “Manhattan,” Visqueen, (273)
- “Tell Balgeary, Balgury Is Dead,” Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, (272)
- “Sing, Sing, Sing,” Benny Goodman & His Orchestra, (270)
- “Big Brown Eyes,” Old 97’s, (266)
- “The Whole Of The Moon,” The Waterboys, (266)
- “Lost In The Supermarket,” The Afghan Whigs, (264)
- “Hey Hey What Can I Do,” Led Zeppelin, (264)
- “The World Without Logos,” Hellsing, (259)
- “All The Lilacs In Ohio,” John Hiatt, (256)
- “Dance The Night Away,” The Mavericks, (255)
- “Shoe Box,” Barenaked Ladies, (254)
- “Rockaway Beach,” The Ramones, (254)
- “Somebody To Shove,” Soul Asylum, (253)
- “Catch My Disease,” Ben Lee, (252)
- “Bye, Bye,” The Subdudes, (251)
- “Open All Night,” Bruce Springsteen, (250)
- “Singing In My Sleep,” Semisonic, (250)
- “Sister Havana,” Urge Overkill, (250)
That’s a pretty decent list of tracks, right there. These are all on the “FutureBaby” playlist, I believe, which I somewhat regularly use as a source for kid-friendly shuffle play. Which is why there’s no Hold Steady on this, and only one cover song by the Afghan Whigs.
So, there you have it: the music I’ve heard the most (while sitting at this particular computer) over the last several years. Make of that what you will.
