I've got songs that I've played almost 130 times, and songs that I have never played at all. I guess it was just being impulsive when I downloaded all of them 1500 songs :(:(

As my iPod reveals, the top 15 are:

1. Two Way Monologue -- Sondre Lerche
2. Electrical Storm -- U2
3. Half The World Away -- Oasis
4. Burn -- Tina Arena
5. Yellow Ledbetter -- Pearl Jam
6. Wonderful -- Everclear
7. The Last Song I'll Ever Sing -- Gavin Friday
8. Anyone Can Play Guitar -- Radiohead
9. All These Things That I've Done -- The Killers
10. Ever The Same -- Rob Thomas
11. Stateless -- U2
12. Daughter -- Pearl Jam
13. Country House -- Blur
14. City of Blinding Lights -- U2
15. You Were Meant For Me -- Jewel

Yours? :drool:

Do I suck that I've never even heard of some of the bands mentioned here? :( the likes of Porcupine Tree, Army of Anyone, Bright Eyes or Director..... :huh: :huh:

I really wouldn't worry about never hearing of Director, since their album hasn't been released outside of Ireland yet.

If you want to know a bit about them, they are an Irish band who released their debut single less than a year ago, it reached the top 10, and their album a few months ago, the album reached number 2 in the charts and has gone platinum(I think :wink:). The UK release is next year, followed by a worldwide release

If you want to hear any of their songs here's a couple

Director - Reconnect
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIJyRW6-3sc

Director - Come With a Friend
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3jgnLuQwQ0

Director - Reconnect (live)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29lVFUUzlF8
 
Here are mine:

1. Words So Leisured - Franz Ferdinand
2. Stay (Faraway So Close!)- U2
3. Unintended - Muse
4. Micro Cuts - Muse
5. The Fallen - Franz Ferdinand
6. Eleanor Put Your Boots On - Franz Ferdinand
7. Karma Police - Radiohead
8. Citizen Erased - Muse
9. Asthma - The Fiery Furnaces

11. Love Is Blindness - U2

It is a true tragedy that not many people know Porcupine Tree, given that Steven Wilson has possibly the most beautiful, best voice in modern music. (If he doesn't, Neil Finn does.)

No, don't worry about it.

I tried listening to Porcupine Tree and they're not that special.

Bright Eyes is alright but nothing special either.

It seems like people either adore or despise Bright Eyes. I think the music is brilliant...some think it's depressing and whiney. You should check out a few tunes. If you like what you hear, you NEED to investigate further. :yes:
