Re: What you listen on your mp3 player
Well, why not ask iTunes!
Clicking the top 25 most played list we get:
5 Brian Eno songs: "Everyting Merges With the Night" from Another Green World, and four tracks from Before and After Science - "King's Lead Hat", "No One Recieving", "Backwater", and "Kurt's Rejoinder". I really really liked the pop side of Before and After Science and it was one of the first albums that went onto my MP3 player.
3 by Can: Both "Halleluhwah" and "Oh Yeah" from Tago Mago, and "Moonshake" from Future Days...Can really gets under my skin.
"Pachuco Cadaver" by Captain Beefheart off of Trout Mask Replica - the best song off a great album, and really the only place where the band really comes together.
"Tunak Tunak Tun" by Daler Mehndi (my roommate loved this song, we used to set the iPod to play it as an alarm when it was hooked up to his stereo)
4 by Devo (not enough if you ask me!): "Gut Felling" and "Uncontrollable Urge" (which is currently #1) from Q: Are We Not Men, and "Going Under" and "Race of Doom" from New Traditionalists.
"Peaches en Regalia" by Frank Zappa, a great little jazz tune which just isn't long enough.
Two tracks from Selling England by the Pound by Genesis, my favorite prog album. They're "Dancing With the Moonlit Knight", which has an amazing guitar solo (really the reason why I listen to it, but the whole song is great), and "The Battle of Epping Forest" which is classic Peter Gabriel...
Two from a Japanese band called Polysics, a great surf-rock instrumental "Buggie Technica" and one called "Kaja Kaja Goo" which has to have one of the craziest lead vocals ever...
Two from a Japanese rap band called "Rip Slyme", a really really addictive group, which was pretty much all I listened to this time last year. The tracks are "Super Shooter" and "FUNKASTIC".
Two by Talking Heads. "Once in a Lifetime" and "The Great Curve"...Remain in Light is one of my favorite albums.
"Put Your Hand Inside the Puppet Head" off the s/t album by They Might be Giants...again, like many of the songs here, addictive!
And of course, "Generals in Majors" by XTC, one of the greatest unheard singles of all time!
