What does your Top 25 Most Played say about you?

[Waugh-terfall]

I went out to town with a mate last night, granted him control over my iPod and he chose my Top 25 Most Played. Now aside from there being some belters on there, some I haven't heard for quite some time, I think it was pretty good...

So what does yours look like? Does it embarrass you? Do you listen to your guilty pleasures a little bit too often? Any classics? Does it seem to stem from a certain time in your life? Does it explain why you were picked on at school..?

Here's mine:

Name: Waugh-terfall
Age: 21
Top 25:

1. "Munich" by Editors
2. "I Still Remember" by Bloc Party
3. "An End Has A Start" by Editors
4. "The Racing Rats" by Editors
5. "Dig" by Incubus
6. "Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking" by Snow Patrol
7. "Platform Moon" by Jupiter One
8. "Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors" by Editors
9. "Flux" by Bloc Party
10. "Rebellion (Lies)" by Arcade Fire
11. "All Sparks" by Editors
12. "Blood" by Editors
13. "Into Oblivion (Reunion)" by Funeral For A Friend
14. "Misfits" by Third Eye Blind
15. "Harder To Breathe" by Maroon 5
16. "Red Light-Green Light" by Limp Bizkit feat. Snoop Dogg
17. "Meet Your Master" by Nine Inch Nails
18. "This Is How It Goes" by Billy Talent
19. "Die Tonight, Live Forever" by Innerpartysystem
20. "Bullets" by Editors
21. "Anna Molly" by Incubus
22. "I Don't Wanna Be" by Gavin DeGraw
23. "On The Road" by Rooster
24. "The Unshockable" by Maximo Park
25. "I'm Not Sorry" by The Pigeon Detectives

I'm not sure where I'm getting this, but I think I might be a bit of an Editors fan..?
They all seem to be from around the same sort of time, moving towards the late 00s, around the time I was at 6th Form.
Everthing is a fairly similar genre, with an exception or two, Innerpartysystem, Funeral For A Friend, Limp Bizkit/Snoop, Nine Inch Nails.
Jupiter One's "Platform Moon" is far king amazing.
I need to listen to more Incubus.
I know why a couple are on there.
I think my musical tastes are decent, but then I would.

Over to you.

The problem with my 25 most played is that it resets whenever i change my computer! So i've had my latest iMac for about 11 months, and all it reflects is what i've listened to most this year really!
Is there any way round it?

[GAjon]

I still think its the seventies!

I'd make an assumption as to age, but I wouldn't want to insult if I got it wrong.

Do you suffer rrrrrroad raaage? I think that says that you are loosing your mind, and you're racing through the best days.

Anyone else use Last.fm?

[BonzoG]

Another Last.FMer here. Apparently it counts all my scrobbles from ipod, itunes, winamp, on various machines - so this should be a reasonable punt at my Top 25.



I think you can tell I'm Scottish. And a bit of a soppy bd, it would appear?

I've been on last.fm for years now, and as a result my top 25 wasn't really indicative of what I listen to now. (For crying out loud, Dragonforce? I'm genuinely ashamed of that now!) My overall looks like a Guitar Hero setlist, which makes sense as I was totally into the games (and had a lot more listening time) back then.
http://www.last.fm/user/UrikoBB3

The last 3 months would be the most accurate sample for me:
1. Anarchy Club - Blood on the Snow
2. FantomenK - The Massacre (Extended Version)
3. Anarchy Club - All the Fires Burning
4. FantomenK - Audio Avenue
5. Rise Against - Satellite
6. Trivium - Watch the World Burn
7. Feeder - Headstrong
8. Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American
9. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can't Stop (Live from Sunderland Stadium of Light)
10. Anarchy Club - Bitter
11. Avenged Sevenfold - Scream
12. Trivium - Caustic Are the Ties That Bind
13. Machine Head - Be Still and Know
14. Daisuke Ishiwatari - Meet Again (Justice's Theme from Guilty Gear)
15. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Give It Away
16. Garbage - Not My Idea
17. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Road Trippin' (Surely a PH worthy song?)
18. Dream Theater - Blind Faith
19. Jimmy Eat World - Get It Faster
20. Feeder - We Can't Rewind
21. Judas Priest - Night Crawler
22. Judas Priest - Battle Hymn (To be honest, this is only hear because it's basically an intro track so I don't bother skipping it)
23. Nightwish - The Kinslayer
24. Nightwish - Lagoon
25. Cubanate - Skeletal (Anyone who played Gran Turismo probably knows this)

Oddly there's only one Dream Theater song and no Iron Maiden, which is weird considering they're my favourite bands

[CrabDan]

Nothing wrong with a bit of Dragonforce. The key to its awesomeness is its unashamedness, afterall.

[The Hypno-Toad]

Right then, I want to make it absolutely clear from the start, that I mainly listen to my ITunes to relax after work or to fall to sleep too. I have My Chemical Romance, The Chemical Brothers, Deepdish, Foo Fighters, MGMT, The New Pornographers, Propellerheads, Ryan Adams, Sneaker Pimps, Stevie Wonder and Warren Zevron on my Ipod as well.
I also have no way of playing it through my car stereo having thrown both the cassette adopter and a FM thingy in the bin in disgust.

So bear that in mind, ok?

2.) Soft - Lemon Jelly
3.) Grovely Road - Saint Etienne
4.) If You Run - EG
5.) Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want - The Dream Academy
6.) Who Am I - Will Young
7.) Gaye - Clifford T Ward
8.) This Guys In Love With You - Herb Alpert
