Out of one thousand and some odd titles, these are the most played on my office iTunes:

1. "Rev. Al Gets The Feeling," Al Green
2. "Tragic Story," Southerners
3. "You Ain't Going Nowhere," Byrds
4. "These Windows," Village Sound
5. "We Got A Thing Going On," Ben E. King & Dee Dee Sharp
6. "Trying To Reach My Goal," Roy Head
7. "The Last Mile Of The Way," Soul Stirrers
8. "What About Us," Coasters
9. "Tossin' & Turnin'," Bobby Lewis
10. "Wait A Minute," Coasters
11. "We Can't Make It No More," Don Covay
12. "What's Made Milwaukee Famous," Jerry Lee Lewis
13. "When You're Hot, You're Hot," Jerry Reed
14. "Things Won't Be The Same," Mill Evans
15. "Walk Upon The Water," Move
16. "Walking After Midnight," Patsy Cline
17. "Treat Her Right," Roy Head
18. "The Weight," the Band
19. "Touch Me," Big Al Downing
20. "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself," Chuck Jackson
21. "Along Came Jones," Coasters
22. "To The Other Woman," Doris Duke
23. "The Things I Used To Do," Guitar Slim
24. "What Is Truth," Johnny Cash
25. "The Tracks Of My Tears," Johnny Rivers

Track one is the beginning of the CD reissue version of Al Green's "I Want To Hold Your Hand" (from the GREEN IS BLUES elpee). It's basically Al babbling in the studio - something like "WE GOT THE FEELING!" - when somebody sez, "shut up, Al Green!" A short snippet of "I.W.T.H.Y.H." follows. I forget where I got this from, exactly - I downloaded it from a Yousendit file. I may have gotten it from ILM, I forget.

I decided to use LastFM because it should include iTunes tracks from 2 different computers and it is more up-to-date:

Joanna Newsom - Emily
Annie - Chewing Gum (My son looovvees this song and makes me play it all the time)
Joanna Newsom - Monkey & Bear
Joanna Newsom - Sawdust & Diamonds
Hot Chip - Colours (DFA remix)
Joanna Newsom - Cosmia
Alain Goraguer - Ten Es Assome
The Knife - Silent Shout
Alain Goraguer - Generique
Hans-Joachim Roedelius - Sonnegeflecht
Captain Beefheart - Space-Age Couple
Alain Goraguer - Ten et Tiwa
Feist - Mushaboom (The Mungo Jerry of the 21st Century!!!!)
Ariel Pink - Cable Access Follies
Alain Goraguer - Course de Ten
The Knife - Marble House
The Fall - How I Wrote Elastic Man
The Olivia Tremor Control - Black Foliage (Animation 5)
Can - Transcendental Express
Sigur Ros - Med Blodnasir
The Focus Group - Underwater Pries
Alain Goraguer - Mira et Ten
Bo Hansson - Homeward Bound & The Scouring of the Shire
Hot Chip - Boys From School
Kate Bush - King of the Mountain

This list is a little misleading because all the songs from The Fall to the end of the list were tied with about 30 other tracks with 4 plays a piece. I just picked the first ones that showed up on the list.

― the table is the table (treesessplode), Thursday, 1 February 2007 22:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Actually, my entire musical outlook is essentially modernist; I won't judge music based upon its grounding or its age, and in fact I generally value modern music above older because a) there's so much more that can be done in studios now and b) with knowledge of prior music future musicians will know where the bar stands, and how high they have to leap in order to exceed it. There's a reason I've got no 60's or 70's and very little 80's in that there list; musical ideals have simply improved since then, with more at stake and more achieved.

As for the reason it's not all up-to-date and flashy-shiny, well, there are two reasons. Firstly, my initiation into modern music happened in the 90's, and I'm bound to retain a lot from then, and secondly, I've favoured buying music from the recent past over that of the present, because a) it's easier in retrospect to judge what's classic than in the heat of the moment, b) I can always buy stuff that comes out now, but you gotta grab the older shit before it disappears a) out of my consciousness and b) off the shelves, and c) (this c) refers to the original a)-b) sequence) I reckon we're going through a bit of a lull at the moment, a lull which has coincided with the lack of any release by Radiohead or Blur. Just joking, kids. But seriously, 2006 was a pretty shit year!

Plus, the songs up there are just bona fide classics regardless of generation. What a silly point to make, meltingglaciers!

OK! Hopefully it's going on Amazon for less than 20 quid. Isn't Flow meant to be pretty good too?

― to scour or to pop? (Haberdager), Friday, 2 February 2007 02:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I generally like his older stuff (Nail and Hole in particular) and the Steroid Maximus stuff, but Flow was a nice return to form (I like it better than Love, actually).

― John Justen waitin to get his W2s back so he can file his tax and ball out (john, Friday, 2 February 2007 02:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Argh, I'm a student, I can't really spend £33.93 on a single CD, alas. :-(

Is there anywhere else I could find it more cheaply? I may purchase Flow in the meantime to sate the urge.

When I grab large quantities of Einsturzende Neubauten and KMFDM (as I aim to do pretty soon) I'll have the whole noize board queueing up to forgive me... ;-)

― John Justen waitin to get his W2s back so he can file his tax and ball out (john, Friday, 2 February 2007 17:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Flow is utterly brilliant. It's wholly unconcerned with being pigeonholed, trendy, or in the shadow of any looming forefather; it's genuinely original-sounding, exciting, ambitious material, a (near-) complete vision actually worth our spectatorship. I'm this close to calling JGT one of the bona fide geniuses of modern music. HOLY HELL I need more stuff like this...

Not sure what #2-#25 are, but #1 is definitely a recording of the second movement of Ravel's "Gaspard de la Nuit," which has about a thousand plays on it now since I tend to put it on repeat when I'm taking naps.

David Katz, do you mean Debussy's string quartet? Gosh, that's tough. The Emerson SQ recording is very beautifully performed and recorded, so that's one you should definitely seek. The Alban Berg SQ performance is also def. worth listening to because it gives it another angle -- it leans more toward the virtuosic but it's a very bold and forceful performance. Other options you can't really go wrong with: Quartetto Italianno SQ, the Orlando SQ, the Keller Quartet.
