I rarely play a CD all the way through on my stereo at home. For me, individual track names have become almost insignificant. Before the mp3 player I had a discman - anytime I bought an album it'd get fired into the discman to entertain me on the way to Uni/work - I didn't have the sleeve with me so I'd get to know the tracks i liked by their number alone. And since the iPod came along this has got worse, albeit we can see the track on the display, but more often than not the pod is in a pocket. I have to make a conscious effort to look at the display when an unknown track is shuffed up. Or maybe this is just me... >1) We Used To Be Friends - The Dandy Warhols (not >surprised that this is top of my Most Played. love it. >you can hear the Duran production on this track > >And that's a good thing? My iPod seems to think so. >Thanks for the list though - interesting reading. You're welcome. Anyone else except Andrew, Zak and I prepared to admit their Top Ten Most Played? >4) Steely Dan - Things I Miss The Most >Not my favourite from ‘Everything Must Go’.

Back In Your Life - Howard Jones >From the album "People", I was hooked on this song from the very first >couple measures. This >song encompasses almost everything of what I like >about Howard Jones. Howard Jones is an example of what AG was talking about regarding individual tracks/death of the album as an entity. I downloaded 3 HJ tracks from itunes recently. Wouldn't have forked out for a whole album though, so I'm happy. Steve _________________________________________________________________ Mortgage refinance is Hot. Terms. Get a 5.375% fix rate.
