What's on YOUR iPod?

If you followed the link in "Fighting the double-standard" yesterday, you'll have read about the (idiotic) interpretation of Hillary Clinton's favorite songs. As Kevin Drum has discovered, you can easily generate a list of your most frequently played songs with iTunes. Just for grins, here's my list:

1. Spanish Pipedream, John Prine
2. To All the Girls I've Loved Before, Willie Nelson & Wyclef Jean
3. Work It, Missy Elliott
4. Thank You for Talkin' To Me, Africa, Sly & The Family Stone
5. The Way You Move, OutKast
6. Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore, John Prine
7. One Piece at a Time, Johnny Cash
8. Are You Gonna Be My Girl, Jet
9. Rosa Parks, OutKast
10. Just a Girl (Acoustic Live - German Radio), No Doubt

Now as a bonus, I actually get to provide a second list, because while my desktop machine is my primary source of music, I also have a laptop with a separate library of music:

1. Lips and Hot Dogs, Jason Orrill
2. Find the Beat, Jason Orrill
3. Stratosphere, Jason Orrill
4. The Land of Love, Jason Orrill
5. Igor and the Spazz, Jason Orrill
6. Back for Seconds, Jason Orrill
7. Not Cursing, Jason Orrill
8. Speed Lounger, Jason Orrill
9. Fuzzkey, Jason Orrill
10. Mars Loves Venus, The Brunettes

So what does all this mean? Well, not much. Several of the items in the desktop list are there because I was trying to either write down the lyrics or learn the chord changes. It's probably as reasonable a barometer of my overall tastes as anything, although anyone who knows me well would point out at least one glaring omission. I use GarageBand on my laptop to record stuff, and then listen to what I've created repeatedly to decide whether the tunes are any good, so that's why I appear so prominently there.

Oh, and as for the whole Beatles vs. Stones brouhaha...dudes, the sixties were a long, long time ago. Get over it.
