“Great Question” (11

)

I have a horrible habit of listening to the same song over and over. What is your most played song and song that no matter how many times you hear it. You still love it the same you did when you first heard it. What makes you so drawn to this song? Is it a song you have listened to since you were little or a recent song that you fell in love with? Do you get stuck on just one particular song or do you play a whole album over and over?

I usually get stuck on one particular song and I have a comination of songs that I have listend to since I was little and more recent songs. My top is probably Walk Away- Ben Harper, Indifference- Pearl Jam, and Crash into Me- Dave Matthews Band

Right now, it’s “Hello Seattle” by Owl City. I just got goosebumps while listening to it earlier today. :P

Also up there is “Ignorance” by Paramore, “I’m Like a Lawyer…” by Fall Out Boy, “Best Friend” by Toy Box, and “Ika Uka” by Jenny Rom.

I don’t go by the iTunes play count, because that only counts how many times the songs finish and I don’t always listen to songs all the way to the end and in the case of a few songs, I skipped to the ending numerous times.

I’m guessing the next ones are going to be “Replay” by Iyaz and “Haven’t Met You Yet” by Michael Buble.

According to iTunes the list of most played goes as follows (I’m actually really surprised):
1— Time to pretend – MGMT (189 plays)
2— First of the gang to die – Morrisey (153 plays)
3— Viva la Vida – Coldplay (150 plays)
4— One – U2 & Mary J.Blige (148 plays)

Not what I expected….

Winamp tells me my #1 most played song is Florida by Modest Mouse.
Others in my top 10, only one from each band, would be..
The Last Baron by Mastodon
Comfort Eagle by Cake
Sentinel by VNV Nation
Blood by Priestess
The Dead Skin by Sonata Arctica
Tribulations by LCD Soundsystem
Benzin by Rammstein
Ghost Opera by Kamelot
Cereal Killer by Northborne

I think that’s pretty much as varied as my library is. And yes, I was ~~bored~~ interested enough to link each song.

Butterflies and Hurricanes by Muse has been, for a long time, my favourite, most played song. It gets me going every time.

According to Windows Media Player, my equal top are Caught in the Middle by Dio and Fade to Black by Metallica. Of course that is only what I play on my computer – I have been listening to the album Love Metal by H.I.M. over and over in my car recently, particularly Rip Out the Wings of a Butterfly.

Mine are all mixed in with my SO’s, but here’s some of my top plays:
Run by Gnarls Barkley
Johnny Appleseed by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros
She Lives in a Time of Her Own by the 13th Floor Elevators
Mirror in the Bathroom by the English Beat. Great video; always makes me want to dance.
Saddle in the Rain by John Prine
Bigmouth Strikes Again by the Smiths
History Song by The Good, the Bad, and the Queen. That youtube version doesn’t do the bass justice.
New World in My View by King Britt. I got hooked on this last one just recently – it’s from True Blood.

Unopened – Sonata Arctica apparently according to Last.fm. Has 46 plays since 27th July 2007. Such a shame I haven’t had last.fm all my life, especially the part where I discovered Nightwish else it’ll most likely be a different song altogether.

Hey!

You would type in, say “Muse” (make sure that you use quotations), followed by a colon, then copy and paste the url.

So, it would be

Yeah, and the play count doesn’t work because there are many songs I don’t play to the end. One of my favorite songs has 10 seconds of silence at the end and I always stop it before so according to iTunes, Ive listened to it twice even though Ive listened to it many times.

A while ago it was “Hello” by Beyonce.
Now it’s “Tip of the Iceberg” by Owl City.

@DominicX In iTunes there is a way to work around this if you want to skip the 10-second gap or give your favorite song its due. I’m not positive off the top of my head but I think you right-click the track (on a pc) and select “get info” -> “options” and then there should be an end time box that you can adjust so you can set when iTunes cuts it off and considers it complete.

Songs that have stuck to me are Staind ‘Outside’ because when I was pregnant with my first she loved it so it means a lot. Another is Red Hot Chili Peppers ‘Otherside’. Everyone says it is about suicide but it never meant that to me. It is a song that for no particular reason has meant a lot to me and still does. And also RCHP’s ‘Wetsand’; I love the lyrics in this song, it’s really deep.
