Top 50 based on plays from my iTunes, though I top out there at about 18 (I play stuff more often on my mp3 player).ġ.

The Mountain Goats w/ Kaki King - Thank You Mario, but Our Princess is in Another Castleīlitzen Trapper - Black River Killer and FurrĬarl Carlton - Bad Mamma Jamma (Thank you previous Ask Metafilter thread) The Be Good Tanyas - Lakes of Pontchartrain (because I was learning the words) The Band - Atlantic City (The original is by Bruce Springsteen, but this is my favorite version despite frequent debates) I took a look at my top 25 list on my Itunes, and narrowed it down a few songs: And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead – So Divided Sufjan Stevens – For the Widows in Paradise, for the Fatherless in Ypsilanti The Dawn Parade – Wider Than the January Skies

– Blindspot / Invisible BendĪntennas to Heaven – This Bloody Tarkhovsky Film Pure Reason Revolution – The Bright Ambassadors of Morning I've gone through stages of listening to all of these tracks (and many many more) over and over again they're just so good: Posted by EmpressCallipygos at 1:38 PM on Janu and the audio for the "boom-de-yada" ad Discovery Channel did a couple years back.Ĭareful, though - when we were in high school, my best friend once was home alone and preprogrammed her stereo to play "Solsbury Hill" 63 times in a row, and by the 27th repeat the neighbors all started coming to the door and asking "PLEASE STOP." "Gun Street Girl" and "I Don't Wanna Grow Up", Tom Waits "Man of Constant Sorrow" and "Hard Time Killing Floor Blues" from the O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? soundtrack "Down To Earth", "Solsbury Hill," "In Your Eyes" and "Signal to Noise", Peter Gabriel "Shaking The Tree", Peter Gabriel (the version from his SECRET WORLD LIVE live album) "Slippery People", The Talking Heads (note: this is the version from STOP MAKING SENSE) "Fisherman's Blues" and "When Will We Be Married," The Waterboys At times, songs I've played into the ground have included: My "repeat over and over and over and over again" passion goes in stages. Posted by Admiral Haddock at 1:27 PM on Janu Also, this seems a bit chatfiltery, I'm feeling expansive today, so I'll let it slide. Oh, wait-you're absolutely nothing like me? YOU GO TO HELL. If you're anything like me, these songs will drive you wild with delight. Jackie Collins Existential Question Time-Manic Street Preachers Top on my iPod-these were all obsessively played (I've edited out the ones I've simply listened to over a course of years)Ĭharm School-Goldie Lookin' Chain (has to be close to 300 total plays at this point) Given my top 25 playlist starts with songs that have over 100 on the playcount, there is no way for new songs to get on without getting played many times in a row. When it first came out, I listened to Paper Planes by MIA over a hundred times in a row. Two or three times in a row? When I get a musical bee in my iPod bonnet, I can listen to it for 50, 60, 70 times or more in a row. The music that hits the top of my list is any genre-it comes from a passing clip from TV, movies, threads like this one, and searches for foreign language listening, so anything goes-classical, gregorian chant, bollywood, j-pop, spanish, french, italian, country, rock-the more eclectic the better! posted by lemonade to Media & Arts (107 answers total) 101 users marked this as a favorite Of those songs, I would say no more than 10 or so are my 'all-time bests'-songs that I like enough to look up and listen to specifically, or listen to 2 or 3 times in a row if they pop up in rotation. I rate all of my music with 3-, 4-, or 5-stars (1s and 2s are delete-me or 'spoken/music lesson'), and I noticed recently that out of many gigs of music, I only have 49 songs that make it to a 5-star rating.

I am listening my way through my music library, and this question about books made me think maybe you all can help me find some more 'old friends' music (or new bff music, not picky).
