Before it got reset the tops songs where in the 130s and it was Teen Age Riot and Tame. I listened to Interpol's new album a lot and a ton of Is This It.

Top 5 Artists, just for fun.

1. Sonic Youth-1,724 plays
2. Pixies-896 plays
3. The Mars Volta-662 Plays
4. Radiohead-648 plays
5. At The Drive-In-637 plays

It now occurs to me that I could have just said "click the last.fm thing in my sig" Actually, the last.fm list is different because it factors in live songs and different versions as well, as in all versions of Brother James still go under Brother James and they're not counted as separate songs.

from last.fm and edited because i eliminated all the unknown artist ones and the monosodic ones:

1. Michelle Branch - Breathe 25
2. Boris - [untitled] (Vein) 25
3. Kelly Clarkson - Behind These Hazel Eyes 18
4. Fairport Convention - Percy's Song 18
5. Michelle Branch - 'Till I Get Over You 17

11. Cat Power - Colors And The Kids 12
12. Fairport Convention - Si Tu Dois Partir 12
13. Fairport Convention - Genesis Hall 12
14. Gary Numan - Cars 11

In reality the top 3 would be:
Load Me Up-Matthew Good Band
Optomistic-Radiohead
I might be Wrong-Radiohead

If you keep track throughout my whole life-time, I suppose they would all be Beatles songs.

The Stones?

I don't have an ipod and I don't use the last.fm scrobbling thing... but I do track of the songs I've played the most on winamp... and I'm eliminating any Scissor Shock songs I've played...

1. Stars of the Lid - Taphead
2. Captain Beefheart - Sheriff of Hong Kong
3. Renaldo and the Loaf - Night
4. Omoide Hatoba - Sugar Clip
5. Sun City Girls - Rodent with a View
6. Robbie Basho - Roses and Gold

25. Secret Chiefs 3 - Set Two

Interesting.

According to my last.fm:

 

However if I could scrobble my Zen, things would be very different. Note that I CBF to type the last 15, but it's mainly Pixies and Aphex Twin.

1. C.D., Jimmy Jazz & Me - The Verlaines - 130 plays
2. Deep Inside Her Bathrooms - Haunted Henschel - 70 plays
3. Live Fast Die Young - Circle Jerks - 65 plays

7. What We Do Is Secret - The Germs - 34 plays
8. Eight Miles High - The Byrds - 31 plays
9. Death & the Maiden - The Verlaines - 31 plays
10. Never Understand - The Jesus & Mary Chain - 29 plays
11. Everyone Thinks He Looks Daft - The Wedding Present - 28 plays
12. Kick Out the Jams - MC5 - 25 plays
13. Arnold Layne - Pink Floyd - 24 plays

24. This Charming Man - The Smiths - 15 plays
25. Eric's Trip - Sonic Youth - 15 plays
26. War In My Head - The Verlaines - 15 plays

The winners:
The Verlaines - 4 entries
Sonic Youth - 3 entries
The Byrds - 3 entries (surprising, I haven't listened to them in ages).

Also surprisingly, only 1 Smiths song and no Television songs. This should change soon, Laughing Clowns, Bailterspace, The Gordons, Einstuerzende Neubauten, more Sonic Youth and The Cure should enter this list.
This is only after I reset it a bit over a year ago. Back then my top 25 would have mainly consisted of Ramones, Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Caesars and Robbie Williams.

i don't keep track but it'll probably be passing complexion as number one and then a bunch of discount after that.

My most played songs are all songs that are on my night time go to sleep playlists. So there is a disproportionate amount of shoegaze.

From my computer's iTunes. I have an iPod, but must admit, I hardly ever use it. Thus this also reflects my wife's listening. I listen to a lot more mellow and ambient stuff this way than I do otherwise (especially since the baby came into the house...)

#26 is Anagrama by Sonic Youth, actually...

When that album came out I played that song on my old radio show all the time. It was so fucking awesome. The part where it stops and he caws gets me every time.

From Last.fm. Been there just for a couple of months, so I wouldn't call this a representative selection.
