We music lovers/nerds/nazis tend to pride ourselves with our brilliant highbrow taste.

Of course my favourite song is Pink Floyd's "Echoes" and for relaxation i listen to the drone goodness of Sunn O))), while i despise the Beatles' "naive phase" and hate bubblegum pop.

But let's be honest: When does one have the time to really listen to a twenty-minute song in it's full length? How often does one really feel the need to have Mike Patton scream at oneself while Horgh is bashing the drums like a circus freak?

Even if playback from Vinyl or CDs is part of the mix, too, the "most played" statistic of one's MP3 player software paints a different picture: It might not show what we like best, but it shows what we listen to the most.

So, post your ten or twenty most played songs! And be honest!

1. Flowers on the Wall - the Statler Brotehrs
2. Stray Cat Strut - Stray Cats
3. Patters - Simon & Garfunkel

I've only used last.fm since maybe april or there'd be a few more Daft Punk and Royksopp, so that's my top 15 from that period :/

I have almost all of BTBAM's 'Colors' album in my Top 25 most played. :p
 
On this computer, I have my entire collection in one playlist, and randomized it. So nothing has more than two plays.
 
I don't think Winamp has an option to give you the list of most played...does it?
 
1 Led Zeppelin-Going to California
2 Weezer- Say it aint so
3 Nirvana-All Apologies
4 Weezer-Surf Wax America
5 White Stripes- Seven Nation Army
6 Ben Folds Five-Army
7 Pearl Jam- Yellow Ledbetter
8 Dispatch- The General
9 Foo Fighters- Big Me
10 Black Star- Definition
11 Blood Sweat and Tears- Go Down Gamblin
12 Blues Traveler- Hook
13 Nirvana- Lake of Fire, not a Nirvana song but covered on the Unplugged album which I fucking love.
14 The Clash-Train in Vain
15 Slayer- Reign in Blood
16 Metallica- Seek and Destroy
17 Dire Straits- Sultans of Swing
18 Snoop Doggy Dogg- Gin and Juice
19 Johnny Cash-Hurt, another cover thats better than the original
20 Kanye West ft. Freeway and Mos Def and Harlem Boys Choir- Two Words

2 Authority Zero ? Broken Dreams 1,058
3 Authority Zero ? One More Minute 721

This isn't super accurate, because now adays I listen to other music A LOT more than some of these songs, I've just had these songs on my iTunes for so long that they have built up the highest number of plays. Although the song that is in first place is one of my favorite songs... so it's not too out of line. I'm surprised there isn't any Devin Townsend Band or Devin Townsend Project in that list though, I listen to them a hella lot.


Edit: Damn, I formatted it all nicely inside the text box and when I pressed post it got screwed up... but I'm too lazy to fix it.

Protip, the internets hate multiple spaces and don't let you do that because it's annoying.
Code: 
 tags use uniformly spaced fonts and allow multiple spaces.
 
Over the last couple of months:

Amon Amarth - Under the Greyclouded Winter Sky
Kamara - Syvempiin Varjoihin
Therion - Kings of Edom
Masterplan - Lonely Winds of War
Pendulum - The Island (Part I: The Dawn)
Therion - Land of Canaan
Arkona - Arkona
Arkona - Na Moey Zemble
Rhapsody of Fire - Reign of Terror
Blind Guardian - You're the Voice (John Farnham Cover)
Pendulum - The Tempest
Amorphis - On Rich or Poor
The Devin Townsend Project - Hyperdrive!

Overall, there'd probably be a lot of Nightwish, System of a Down, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Iron Maiden, etc.

I love this song.

I can't decide whether I like the version off Addicted or the version off Ziltoid better though. They are both so damn good.
 
I like the Addicted version but both are good. Theres a version on Youtube where someone mixed both tracks together. Hang on I'll see if I can find it...yup here it is:

 
  1. Higher Wall (New Model Army)
  2. Bad Moon Rising (Creedence Clearwater Revival)
  3. Cockleman or Kevin Kershaw (Biz Bizley)
  4. Pretty in Pink (The Psychedelic Furs)
  5. Do Anything You Wanna Do (Eddie and the Hot Rods)
  6. If the Kids Are United (Sham 69)
  7. Coz I Luv You (Slade, The Wonder Stuff)
  8. Ghost Town (The Specials)
  9. Rudeboy, I Don't Wanna Be (Up, Bustle and Out)
  10. Power of Love (Frankie Goes to Hollywood)

Not in any real order, and not really my "most played", they're just some of my favourites. Sorry for choosing two for number 3, I really can't decide between them.

That was really cool actually.

Everytime I listen to the addicted version I end up quoting the ending of the Ziltoid version though, "Having made their way through space, captain spectacular and his intrepid crew have arrived at the neboloin nine. Unbenounced to the humans Ziltoid has also arrived" "HAHA!" :lol:
