What Are Your Top 10 Most Played Songs?

[Menchy]

It's easy to claim that we only listen to classic rock, or that The Arcade Fire is our most favoritest band ever, but the cold hard facts lay in your iTunes (or other media player's) top 10 most played songs. So post them here, because I want to know, truthfully, what kind of music people on these boards actually listen to (I can tell Onacara secretly rocks out to Hannah Montana).

My top 10:

1. Paper Planes- M.I.A. (44) Kala
Fantastic song, fantastic artist. If only people listened to it for reasons other than that they heard it in the Pineapple Express trailer.

2. Lights Out- Santogold (41) Santogold
Another great song. It's really chill and in general just great to listen to to get you into a good mood.

3. Shake It to the Ground- Rye Rye (31) Shake It to the Ground
A relatively unknown artist, this Diplo-produced 16 year old Baltimore Rapper's debut single is... pretty awesome. A great dance song.

4. Galang(feat. Lil' Vicious)- M.I.A./Diplo (26) Piracy Funds Terrorism Vol.1
A remix of the original Galang, this one has a rapper who I would estimate is around 7 pounding out a sweet, electronic tinged rap interlude (I'm not sure interlude is the right word). Pretty awesome.

5. Walking Blind- The Lost Trailers (24) Welcome to the Woods
I had to have some country in here somewhere. This is a fantastic song.

6. Bird Flu- M.I.A. (22) Kala
With a beat of african drums and chicken squawks, this makes for one completely rediculous song.

7. To Be With You- Mr. Big (22) Lean Into It
I'm a real sucker for rock power ballads, and this one happens to be one of my all time favorites.

8. L.E.S. Artistes- Santogold (22) Santogold
Santogold's lead single off her self-titled debut album, L.E.S. Artistes takes a long hard look at the cost of fame... and I luvz every second of it.

9. I Kissed A Girl- Katy Perry (21) One of the Boys
... I can't even... just...

10. I'm Yours- Jason Mraz (21) We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.
I actually performed this song live at one of my school's coffee houses. It went pretty well, and since then, I've really liked this song.

So there was my (slightly embarassing) list. Let's see yours.

*My format:

 Song- Artist (# of plays) Album

You don't necessarily have to use the same format, but try to make it understandable.

[EternalThanos86]

1.) See the Flames Begin to Crawl- Five Iron Frenzy (50) The End is Here

Christian Ska (is ska dead?)

2.) Rise From the Ashes- Quietdrive (41) Falling From the Ceiling EP

Minneapolis area band that is on its way up.

3.) Sugar, We're Goin' Down- Fall Out Boy (40) From Under the Cork Tree

4.) This Time I'm Leaving- The Wedding (39) The Wedding

Straight up Christian rock.

5.) He's A Pirate- Klaus Badelt (30) Pirates of the Caribbean Soundtrack

One of the best instrumental movie soundtracks ever produced.

6.) At Least I'm Known For Something- A New Found Glory (27) Catalyst

7.) The Anthem- Good Charlotte (24) The Young and the Hopless

8.) I'd Do Anything/Addicted- Simple Plan (22) No Pads, No Helmuts, Just Balls

9.) Sunday Bloody Sunday- Pillar (22) In the Name of Love: Artists United for Africa

Great hard rock remake of the U2 song.

10.) You Are My Hope- Skillet (21) Alien Youth

My Top 11... [yes, my iPod goes up to 11]

1. John The Revelator - Nick Cave
A remake of an old folk song from 1927 [?]... see #10. Also the best darn song I've heard in many years.

2. With Whom To Dance - The Divine Comedy
A cover of the Magnetic Fields... beautiful.

3. Hiding All Away [live in Berlin] - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
This live version rocks way harder than the over-produced studio version.

4. That's Not My Name - Ting Tings
I shouldn't be listening to this, it can't be good for me.

5. Al Gato y al Raton - Banda Machos
AAAAAA HOOO HOOOO HOOOEY! Mexican oompah music.

6. Raise Me Up - Hercules and Love Affair
Released in 2008, sounds more like 1978. Disco lives!

7. Discotheque 36 - Black Francis
Frank Black just rules. Period.

8. Wearin' That Loved On Look - Elvis Presley
Amore obscure track by the King... if you could call any of his stuff obscure.

9. Waving My Arms - The Birthday Party
Nick Cave's first band, more post-punk than gospel.

10. John The Revelator - Blind Willie Johnson
This song is haunting. Double the 'cool rating' for this one. It really should be #1.

11. Henry Lee - Dick Justice
What a sad, sad story.

Please keep in mind that I've only had my iPod since Christmas, AND it has over 14,000 songs on it. I'll get back to you in a month if the top 11 changes significantly. As you can tell, there's a lot of Nick Cave on there.

Fun thread, +REP!

Well, I don't work on my computer, so my play counts are rather low, and some of the songs are pretty weird...


Song- Artist (# of plays) Album

1) Conspiracy - Free Radical Design (17) Second Sight Soundtrack

(It's one of my favorite computer games. Amazing story, almost unmatched, great gameplay. Unfortunately extremely short, though. You can get it for $5 at Gamestop or Amazon. WELL WORTH IT! And you can download the soundtrack for free off of their website. It's piano and voice is creepy, but beautiful)


2) 200 emails - The Poopsmith (15) Homestarrunner.com

(The 200th email song. Yeah. Well, it's only 45 seconds! )


3) Prologue - James Newton Howard (10) Lady in the Water Soundtrack

(Pretty music, I loved the movie)


4) Deathborn's theme - Daiki Kasho? (9) F-Zero GX Soundtrack

(Great game; cool music for the bad guy)


5) Watch the World Burn - Hans Zimmer & James Newton Howard (9) The Dark Knight Soundtrack

(One of my favorite movies, with a soundtrack that fit the movie perfectly)


6) Vespertilio - Hans Zimmer & James Newton Howard ( Batman Begins Soudntrack

(See number 5 )


7) Pollyanna - Catherine Warwick (7) Mother Soundtrack

(One of my favorite game series'. They released a soundtrack with some main themes from the NES game, and gave it vocals. This song is done well, and it really raises my spirits...)


F-Zero GX End Credits - Daiki Kasho? (7) F-Zero GX Soundtrack

(When I finally beat this game, I heard this song for the first time. I burst out laughing so hard... For a game that took itself relatively seriously, except for the fact that they over-glorified Captain Falcon, this was crazy. Yeah, the mighty Captain slaughtered an entire gang of people because they wanted his car, and he casually beat god in a race, without breaking a sweat... But when the chorus starting singing "Thank... heaven... he's on the right side! Or else they'll be, no where to hide! Captain Falcon wil ALWAYS be found... Hot on the trail; tracking them down! Give it up for the Cap-i-tan! ...Three cheers for the Falcon!"

...That was it. Tears ran down my face. My friend and I renamed it the "Captain Falcon National Anthem." It seemed to fit.

Some of it's hard to make out, but what isn't, is absolutely hilarious....


9) Red Warrior - Hans Zimmer (6) The Last Samurai Soundtrack

(One of my favorite soundtracks, from my favorite movie)


10) Harvey Two-Face - Hans Zimmer (6) The Dark Knight Soundtrack

I've only heard like three of the songs on these lists, and one of them is the Poopsmith.

Ahhh, The Ting Tings. Every time I put them on... I begin to question my music taste. And then I see Katy Perry in my top 10 most played and I realize that I had none to begin with.

I'm tempted to google that, but I'm afraid of the related images that might come up.

Pollyanna is love.

...

Personally, I cycle through songs. I don't have any kind of music player(because, well, if I'm out doing something, I'm doing something, not listening to music), but through the magic of the internet and computers, I binge on one song (listening to it VERY often for days at a time), then getting bored with it, finding a new one, rinse, repeat.

So, I couldn't tell you, even if I wanted to.

Yeah, I wasn't even gonna say anything...

How can I fault your taste with MIA, Diplo and Santogold on your list?

Not too sure about Jason Mraz though, goin' round saying he's from San Diego.

[Jandarforever]

My top ten has changed somewhat because I recently went through my music library and deleted a whole bunch of songs (reason found here:http://www.heroscapers.com/community...ad.php?t=23266). Here are my current top ten:
1. Frontline-Pillar
2. Bring Me Down-Pillar
3. Rise Up-Disciple
4. Time Of Dying-Three Days Grace
5. Broken-12 Stones
6. Whispers In The Dark-Skillet
7. Adrenaline-12 Stones
8. The Wait Is Over-Disciple
9. Stricken-Disturbed
10. Hypnotized-Pillar
There used to be more variety, but I'm working on getting some different songs up there to the top ten list.

You won't get the song unless you've watched a bit of those cartoons.
