Hahahahah my last FM top 50 tracks make me sound like some obsessed Neko Case fan, when really I just got dumped, drank a lot of Whiskey and sat around listening to Blacklisted about a billion times.

I am not going to try this, it is insane. The fun kind of insane, but still...

Two notes!

1. Since I tried to keep this to one-song-per-artist, it's not really representative of my strict 50 favorite songs.  If I didn't restrict myself that way, the list would probably end up being 200 songs long, or totally skewed in Josh Homme and Chris Goss's favor.

2. I also gave up on actually ordering the songs about 5 songs in.  I like half the songs in the bottom 10 as well as or better than half of the songs in the top 20.

Still, find these songs and you won't be disappointed.

Does for me. I put the songs I like most on my computer and spend most of my time here. Chances are lastfm is pretty damned accurate in my case.

What I listen to most is rarely proportional with what I like the most, so that doesn't do it for me. The #1 song on my Last.fm isn't one of my favorite songs at all. It's just nice to listen to.

Top Ten Most Played Tracks According to my iPod:

2. Novillero - Habit Over Heart
3. Sylvie - Hit & Run
4. Brand New - Guernica
5. The Kinks - Do You Remember Walter
6. The New Pornographers - Streets of Fire
7. The Kinks - Picture Book
8. Malajube - Le Jus de Citron
9. The Futureheads - Carnival Kids
10. Jason Collett - I'll Bring the Sun

That should give you a pretty good idea. It may be obvious, but The Village Green Preservation Society pretty much dominates most of my top 25 on my iPod.
