I did this for my insanejournal and livejournal, so I thought since it's my favorite list out there, I wanted to put it here. So, here is my Top 25 Most Played from my iTunes:
1. The Cover of Rolling Stone by Shel Silverstein & Dr. Hook?? (29 plays)
This song is like it's day's "Rockstar." It's undeniable catchy and fun to sing, which is why when I first heard it, it went on repeat.
2. Coming into Los Angeles by Arlo Guthrie. (26 plays)
I went through a massive Woodstock phase a few months ago (still kind of am...) and since Arlo Guthrie sometimes lives in my town (how awesome is that?!) I decided to give some of his other music a listen and this one stuck with me. Another catchy one; I love the tempo of it.
3. You Better You Bet by The Who (20 plays)
What's funny about this song is that I cannot for the life of me figure out where I first heard it, but it's become one of my favorite songs. Of course the drumming sucks because there's no fucking awesome Keith Moon backing them at this point, but let's not hold that against the song ;)
4. Haven't Met you Yet by Michael Buble (18 plays)
I don't even have to explain this one. If you've listened to it, you know it kicks ass.
5. Joey by Concrete Blonde (17 plays)
Hello...how is this song not amazing? Lately, I'm going through that phase where I wanna listen to it and sing it all the time, so that explains the extreme climb up the list. Plus, how awesome is a lady lead singer AND bassist? It's fucking cool to me.
6. I Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag by Country Joe McDonald (17 plays)
Again, this was during my Woodstock phase and I was just blown away with the fact that this song rings true in today's society...how scary is that? Just listen to the lyrics and it makes a lot of sense.
7. The L Word Theme Song by Betty (16 plays)
It's short, and when I first started watching The L Word, I was so into the theme song. It just kind of sits there on my list now, but if I come across it on shuffle I'll listen to it all the way through cause it's a minute long. Ugh.
8. Shirley by Billy Bragg (16 plays)
I know its really called "Greetings to the New Brunette", but Shirley is much easier haha. Everything is right about this song. When you get past his accent (which to me, is charming) and down to the lyrics, it's really beautiful and heartfelt and sweet. I know that's a horrible video cause you can't really hear the beauty of the guitar behind his voice, so if you can, try to hear the album version.
9. Tundra Rap from The Mighty Boosh (15 plays)
Ummm again it's a short song, plus it's the Boosh, plus Noel wearing a Joan Jett jumpsuit. Amazing.
10. The Sex has made me Stupid by Robots in Disguise (15 plays)
Going hand in hand with the Boosh, I of course discovered RiD around the same time. The title of the song drew me in and I started getting into the Electro stuff...and I still regret not doing my hair like Sue Denim last summer :( damn.
11. Barbara Ann covered by The Who (15 plays)
I love the original song by the Beach Boys, but the fact that it's The Who makes it....a billion times better haha.
12. Good Girls Go Bad by Cobra Starship (13 plays)
This song was definitely my summer jam haha. It's fallen down the list, but I overlistened to it, so I'm actually happy to never hear it again!
13. The Lovecats by The Cure (13 plays)
How fucking catchy is this song? And Robert Smith is ever so adorable in this video hahaha.
14. How Can I Refuse? by Heart (13 plays)
Heard this one day on VH1 Classic and decided I had to have it on my iPod, so I of course put it on there, listened to it for days, then never wanted to hear it again haha.
15. So Long, Dearie from Hello, Dolly! (13 plays)
I listened to this soundtrack quite often after I saw the movie and realized this song caught my ear and that I could choreograph to it. That always makes me happy, so it stuck.
16. Eternal Flame by The Bangles (12 plays)
When I used to hear this song, I laughed at it. However, listening to it all the way through made me love it, and I fell in love with her voice. Ugh, it's gorgeous. I guess in a way it's one of my guilty pleasure songs.
17. The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss) by Cher (12 plays)
How CATCHY is this one, too?! Never been a big fan of Cher, but this song makes me wanna like her. First heard this in the movie Soldier's Girl, where I watched an adorable Lee Pace dance around a long blonde wig :D
18. I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues by Elton John (12 plays)
I've listened to this song WAY more times, mainly in my car on CDs though. This song will always hold a special place in my heart for someone, and it's a song I can fall in love with over and over again.
19. Sugar Magnolia by Grateful Dead (12 plays)
I try not to listen to this song too much, but the truth is that everytime I do, I just get this incredibly calming sensation, and it's really nice. Same with Friend of the Devil, but for some reason, this one made it to my list.
20. Brick by Boring Brick by Paramore (12 plays)
I abused the shit out of this song when I first heard it. I'm not really sure what it is about this song I love...it must just be a mixture of the lyrics and the style of the song, but now that I left it alone for a couple of weeks, I'm ready to jump back in and listening to it.
21. Say Say Say by Michael Jackson & Paul McCartney (12 plays)
This was one of those songs I felt myself getting obsessed with, unforunately it was right after MJ's death and I first saw the video on TV and thought it was adorable, so I decided to get the song. It's slowly falling down my list as you can see, because I overdid it ...again.
22. Angel Eyes by Ella Fitzgerald (11 plays)
I am in LOVE with Ella's voice, and have been for the last few years. This song resurfaced after my deep devotion to "Black Coffee" and topped the list instead. Enjoy it, please!
23. My Heart is the Bums on the Street by Marah (11 plays)
Hopefully you can hear the video well, because this song is really heartfelt and interesting with kick ass lyrics. I heard it, I believe first in the movie Fever Pitch and haven't been able to forget about it the last 2-3 years.
24. The Tears by Robots in Disguise (11 plays)
Another RiD song, but this one has more of a modern feel to it, so it's completely lost in the Electro genre. Plus the lyrics, to me, are fascinating haha.
25. Invisible by Alexa Ray Joel (10 Plays)
I've been listening to and following Alexa Ray since I think early 2007 or late 2006. I can confidently say I have loved ALL of her music and even bought her CD Sketches and a shirt from her website. I was heartbroken by the whole mess that she tried to "commit suicide", and that is what led me to listen to this song on repeat that day. I really began to feel her pain through the song. She has a bubbly exterior, but you can tell she's hiding deep emotions and it's sad, because she really is an amazingly talented person and just seems like a wonderful human being.
