Top 20

I have about a bunch of CDs that are filled to the brim with MP3s. Some of these CDs are compilations of lots of good songs, others are more like archives that have a dozen or so albums on each one. These CDs have been taking turns entertaining me for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for the last few years while I’ve toiled away in workland. I was goofing around with my media player the other day, and noticed that the player was keeping a count of how many times I listened to each individual track. I keep the player on shuffle, and if I’m not in the mood to hear a song, I’ll skip past it.

Here are the resulting top 20:

1. in limbo: Radiohead
2. there there: Radiohead
3. red: King Crimson
4. flutes of the chi: Ween
5. junkhead: Alice in Chains
6. genghis khan: Iron Maiden
7. level 5: King Crimson
8. atomic punk: Van Halen
9. go to sleep: Radiohead
10. take it outside: Dean
11. the ides of march: Iron Maiden
12. lateralus: Tool
13. bus: Dean
14. myxomatosis: Radiohead
15. revelations: Iron Maiden
16. limo wreck: soundgarden
17. mutilated lips: Ween
18. elektrik: King Crimson
19. shape of a word: Shadowfax
20. beercan: Beck
