Yeah I hear that a lot, and I doesn't really surprise me that people feel that way. I can understand why his voice would put some people off.

[Jimmy Stang]

For those of you posting actual numbers of songs, is there a way on the iPod or through iTunes to find that out? Or are you just manually tallying it up?

Yeah, they're great musicians which is why I keep trying but I just can't get into it.

On an unrelated note, I think my list destroys my hipster cred. No American Apparel hoodies for me

No no, American Apparel isn't hipster. It's all about Neighborhoodies now.

FFFFFFfffkkkkkkkkkk!

This kills me! I enjoy lots of music which by default makes me a hipster, but I fracking hate hipsters. Yes I listen to Radiohead, no I don't own an American Apparel hoddie, no I don't own a pair of think framed glasses, no I don't have an ironic mustache, my pants aren't skin tight, I don't take useless pictures with $6000 dollar cameras, and I wear socks with my shoes.

My main goal for music these days is to one step ahead of those Fffffkkkkers.

Haha. I wasn't suggesting you were a hipster, I was just surprised by the lack of hipster music in my top whatever, considering how much I listen to. Although I'd bet my "most played" and "most songs" would be pretty different.

I must be moody.

It's funny how one's musical tastes change over time. For me, this list represents much more of a "buying phase" history than a current preference ranking.

As reliable as our old standbys are (and we all have 'em), there's always something else out there to discover. For example, I only just discovered the greatness that is Béla Fleck last month. I bought his Christmas album on a whim based on positive Amazon.com reviews - it's really good - and have continued to dig into his remarkably diverse discography since). I learned that he's been making music since the 70's. Who'd've thought?

It also appears as though I'm way overdue for a Tom Waits / Neil Young / Radiohead marathon... can't say I know (m)any of their tunes off the top of my head, but CP knows best! ....... right? ..... ..... ..... guys???............

On iPod click Music, then Artists - it will show the song count for the artist.

Interesting stuff everyone.
