What music are you listening to ?

Right now I'm listening to 'The thing that should not be' by Metallica - this is a random shuffle so pure chance.

Looking at the Top 25 most played songs in iTunes:

Some of the less embarrasing songs are:

Creeping Death - Metallica (65 times)
The man comes around - Johnny Cash (64 times)
Riders on the storm - The Doors (61 times)
Love Street - The Doors (60 times)
It’s a hard life - Queen (58 times)
Sogno - Andrea Bocelli (56 times)

Some of the more embarrasing ones:
Karma Chameleon - Culture Club (72 times)
The crying game - Culture Club (59 times)
Rockin' Robin - The Jackson 5 (58 times)
Thriller - Michael Jackson (78 times)
Private Dancer - Tina Turner (112 times)

Seriously - I've listened to the 'Crying game' 59 times? How the hell did that happen? I must have some issues...

Interestingly, I wouldn't class all of these as my favourite songs. Some of the numbers are artificially high through songs that are on an album next after a favourite song. I must have a habit of listening to songs in two's.

So come on then - what are you listening to & if you're using iTunes what's in the top 25.
Can't be any worse than Culture Club & The Jackson 5….

Go Muppets Go!

Considering I have been saving myself for the Horslips and have not listened to them at all for the last month those stats are scary!

Furniture, brilliant, but I don't have the version I like so will have to wait for the rest of the re-releases.

Last nights version was brilliant and the same again tonight

I would love to see Aslan live, but not sure I would want to go home wearing my camera where it was not supposed to fit

They are playing Drogheda soon, might try there. Only tend to lose wing mirrors there

Always loved Horslips but with teh comeback gigs in the Odyssey on Thursday and O2 on Saturday comiong, I kind of went into over kill.

They had two open rehersals in McHughs of Drogheda last night and the night before - just brilliant. Can't wait for the two big ones now, don't know what I will do after that
