9. Spanish Bombs - The Clash

A-ha, I remember them! If I were to put together a top 10 list that's current, "Rock the Casbah" would be on it. The British influence on rock is great.

Okay. . .

Rock the Casbah - The Clash
Time Passages - Al Stewart (that's the mellow fix)
Santa Baby - Madonna
Jingle Bell Rock - Hall and Oates (the video is hilarious)
Different Drum - Linda Ronstadt / Stone Poneys
Love Shack - B-52s
Vogue - Madonna
If You Leave - OMD

. . . Eh, not 10, but that's off the top of my head. I can work with it in my ear and I can also just enjoy it.

Unfortunately I had to get a new computer back in April, so this is only counting stuff from the past seven or eight months, a pretty skewed view.  And not a particularly diverse one.

1. Spoon- Let Me Be Mine
2. Spoon- The Underdog
3. Gabriel Kahane- Calabash and Catamaran
4. Gabriel Kahane- North Adams
5. The National- Humiliation
6. The Hold Steady- Stuck Between Stations
7. King Crimson- Starless
8. Spoon- Knock Knock Knock
9. Spoon- The Beast And The Dragon, Adored
10. Sufjan Stevens- Christmas In The Room

Gee, wonder what's the one CD I actually managed to buy recently?

The highest-ranking classical piece is Philip Glass's Wichita Sutra Vortex, which is not actually my #1 jam but pretty good and shorter than a lot of things, i.e. more liable to be replayed.  The highest longer classical piece is John Adams' Violin Concerto, which is actually my #1 jam (well, #2 after Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra).  Also worth noting: the album I've played in its entirety the most is, completely unsurprisingly, Sufjan's Illinoise.

Other songs that I particularly remember being up near the top on previous computers:
Simon And Garfunkel: Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall
Simon And Garfunkel: America
The Police: Synchronicity II
Elvis Costello: Every Day I Write The Book
Talking Heads: Once In A Lifetime
Spoon: Anything You Want
Arcade Fire: Intervention
Flaming Lips: Fight Test
Radiohead: All I Need
Cake: Commissioning A Symphony In C
Paul Simon: Song About The Moon
The Beatles: I Am The Walrus (which is #11 now)
