top 25

We all know music is awesome. It makes everything better, from driving to cleaning your toilet. This we can all agree on. However, when it comes to taste in music, everyone has a different opinion. Opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one.

I think it's really interesting to look at the songs you play the most. Everyone has their own comfort music, a go-to list of songs that they never get sick of. This is when I look at my Top 25 Most Played playlist on my iTunes. It is a very diverse group of artists, and coming in at #1 is Robin Thicke (not a competition...the next song came in 27 plays less).

1. Shooter by Robin Thicke feat. Lil Wayne
2. Bodysnatchers by Radiohead
3. Got to Give It Up by Marvin Gaye (shout to to Liz on that one!!)
4. FutureSex/LoveSounds by Justin Timberlake
5. Paper Planes by M.I.A
6. Look Into The Air by Explosions in the Sky
7. Shake It by Metro Station
8. Magic Hours by Explosions in the Sky
9. Sex on Fire by Kings of Leon
10. Let It Rock by Kevin Rudolf feat Lil Wayne
11. Whatever You Like by T.I
12. I Feel Fine by The Beatles
13. A Song For Our Fathers by Explosions in the Sky
14. Notion by Kings of Leon
15. Glittering Blackness by Explosions in the Sky
16. Freeze by T-Pain
17. Remember Me As a Time Of Day by Explosions in the Sky
18. Paperback Writer by The Beatles
19. Snow and Lights by Explosions in the Sky
20. Fans by Kings of Leon
21. Time Stops by Explosions in the Sky
22. Single Ladies by Beyonce
23. Champagne by 311
24. Womanizer by Britney Spears
25. Time to Pretend by MGMT

So when I saw this list, I was genuinely surprised. Everyone knows my devoted love for the Beatles, and yet they were only on here a few times. Explosions in the Sky is one of my favorite bands. They don't sing, just make beautiful music. I always listen to them when I study and before bed, so that explains why they are on here so much. When I listen to the Beatles, I always listen to the full album instead of songs on repeat. But if I had to pick my favs, they would be: Paperback Writer, Day Tripper, Helter Skelter, Back in the USSR, I Feel Fine, Get Back, Don't Let Me Down, and Come Together. That was hard.

I consider myself to be open to all sorts of music. Just don't make me listen to country music.
