i was very into...
"Girl" and "Go It Alone" by Beck
"Catch My Disease" by Ben Lee
"She's Hearing Voices," "Positive Tension," and "Helicopter" by Bloc Party
"Low" and "Swallowed in the Sea" by Coldplay
"Black and White Town" by Doves (this song really gets me pumped!)
"Eleanor Put Your Boots Back On" by Franz (my favorite song on the album...)
"Na Na Na Na Naa" by The Kaiser Chiefs
"What I Say and What I Mean" by The Like
"Pull Up The People," "Bucky Done Gun," "Fire, Fire," "Banana (Skit)," by M.I.A. (and of course, really, this whole album)
"Helena" by Nickel Creek
and i'm really too lazy to go through the rest of my itunes...
-
According to iTunes on my work computer, for me it??s:
100 Degrees ?? Shout Out Louds
Tribulations ?? LCD Soundsystem
Jerk it Out ?? Caesars
Honeymoon Song ?? Banjo/Sullivan
Let the Cool Goddess Rust Away ?? CYHSY
The Coasts is Always Changing ?? Maximo Park
Hollaback Girl ?? Gwen Stefani
Fix You ?? Coldplay (live on SNL)
E-Pro ?? Beck
Captain Kelly??s Kitchen - The Dropkick Murphy??s
Crooked Teeth ?? DCFC
The Answer ?? Bloc Party
Hide and Seek ?? Imogen Heap
Unconditional ?? The Bravery
Since You Been Gone ?? Kelly Clarkson
Road to Joy ?? Bright Eyes
Jumpers ?? Sleater-Kinney
Total Eclipse of the Heart ?? The Dan Band
Feel Good Inc. - Gorillaz
Requiem of OMM2 ?? Of Montreal
I hate the Way You love ?? The Kills
The Way We Get By ?? Spoon
Of course this is a skewed list because the longer the album is out the better chance a song has of making the top 25.
I??d imagine my home computer would be very different, because #1 at home is ??Song for Dennis Brown? by the Mountain Goats, but I don??t have that CD on my office machine. Same for Hard-Fi and ??The Infanta? by The Decemberists. And Sony prevented anything from The Dead 60??s from appearing on either of my lists.
-
I suggest Mountain Goats fans buy the dilaudid ep off of Itunes, or at least the collapsing stars track, may well be my favorite song of the year.
-
That would be a good thread. Post your top 25 most played songs on your itunes...
forgive me if its been done already.
