I love le gibet too, tho it is only my #8! That piece gave me hallucinations in college, just everything going white

I love Ondine and Gibet so much, it's sort of a shame the third movement doesn't quite do it for me.

my top 25 is so repetitive and homogenous that i don't wanna type up the whole thing, because i don't listen to a lot of stuff over and over and what i do is usually a certain kind of high energy pop/rock. so my top 25 is 5 Ted Leo songs, 5 Say Anything songs, 5 Steely Dan songs, 2 Sloan songs, 2 Spymob songs, and 1 each by Ruth Ruth, Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Karmella's Game, Peter Gabriel and Massive Attack (last two mainly being on account of my wife playing them a lot).

I really want to hear these as playlists. There's a really nice, uncontrived eclecticism to them.

so many excuses to justify the results! relax, folks

man just looking at my most-played is painful because six out of the top ten are from times in my life when I was listening to one song on repeat to try to keep myself from sinking into crushing hopelessness & despair & when I sort by most-played I'm like "oh yeah I remember that day, I wanted to die so bad"

from last.fm; yes these show what a romantic sap I am; could use itunes top 25 but it's pretty much all Taylor Swift

1 Kanye West – Paranoid

4 Taylor Swift – You Belong With Me
5 Battles – Leyendecker
6 R. Kelly – I Believe I Can Fly

24 New Order – Regret
24 Taylor Swift – Love Story

@Turangalila - sorry I meant Children's Corner not quartet. I'm aware that there is a SQ and solo piano version though. Thank you for your suggestions anyway!

then this, David:

http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=192502

my top 6 tracks are all of white light/white heat from when i left my ipod playing it on repeat in my bag for a couple days.

I really want to hear these as playlists. There's a really nice, uncontrived eclecticism to them.

I know! I kinda want to put mine together as a mix CD for someone. I probably wouldn't have ever consciously come up with that particular mix, but I think it'd work well.

The song I've played the beginning of the most times is A-Ha's The Sun Always Shines on TV because EVERY FUCKING TIME I place my iPod in my stereo/dock without first selecting a tune it plays the first tune alphabetically. I now hate the opening notes of that song so much.

Yeah, a-ha's "The Swing of Things" starts playing sometimes when I first turn my iPod on. Used to be !!! before an iPod software update pushed all numbers and non-alphabetical characters to the bottom.

1. Lo & Behold – Coulson, Dean, McGuinness & Flint
2. Mississippi – Bob Dylan
3. Whip It – Devo
4. Breaking the Law – Judas Priest
5. Maybe Baby – Buddy Holly
6. Just A Chance – Badfinger
7. Duke Of Earl – Gene Chandler
8. Splish Splash – Bobby Darin
9. I’ll Cry Instead – The Beatles
10. Pink Moon – Nick Drake
11. Hello, Goodbye – The Beatles
12. Forever and Always – Taylor Swift
13. Green Tambourine – The Lemon Pipers
14. Me and the Major – Belle and Sebastian
15. I Live For Buzz – The Swingin’ Neckbreakers
16. My Girl Maryanne – The Spongetones
17. Take Me Down (To Halloo) – The Loud Family
18. Seeing Other People – Belle and Sebastian
19. Shine A Light – Apples In Stereo
20. Some Misunderstanding – Gene Clark
21. Up On Cripple Creek – The Band
22. Summer Days – Bob Dylan
23. Kids – MGMT
24. Suffer For Fashion – Of Montreal
25. The Fixer – Pearl Jam

Yeah, it was !!! for me too but the opening notes of Me and Giuliani weren't half as annoying as a-ha. I need a track with a nondescript intro.

Belle and Sebastian – Expectations
Spiritualized – Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space
The Magnetic Fields – The Saddest Story Ever Told
Hot Chip – Ready For The Floor full track
Spoon – You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb
Animal Collective – My Girls
Van Morrison – Madame George
Belle and Sebastian – Lazy Line Painter Jane
The Clientele – Saturday
Stars – Elevator Love Letter
Saturday Looks Good to Me – Ambulance
Hefner – Painting and Kissing
Camera Obscura – Lloyd, I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken
The Magnetic Fields – The Sun Goes Down and the World Goes Dancing
The La's – There She Goes
Elton John – Tiny Dancer
Squeeze – Vanity Fair
Echo & The Bunnymen – The Killing Moon
Pixies – Velouria
Donovan – Turquoise
The Cure – Just Like Heaven
R. Kelly – R.Kelly-Ignition (Remix)
Jens Lekman – Black Cab
The Boo Radleys – The White Noise Revisited
The Magnetic Fields – The Luckiest Guy On The Lower East Side

Seems from looking at my playcounts that iTunes is including plays on my Nano as well as on the computer proper. Anybody know whether it works that way? Whether the device playcounts are transferred back to the main library's info?
