Exactly one year today since i joined last.fm
and a quick look at the charts is in order i believe.
I would like to state that since I have too many favorite bands, these charts are totally unfair, and would just give you a hint of what I've been listening to this last year. :)
Bands
1.Sonic Youth
This band truly belongs at first place, I can agree with that. almost a 150 more listenings than the runner-up says it all.
2.Mogwai
Also one of my favorites of course. they belong way up high, but perhaps not second place. I'm not sure. the release of "Mr. Beast" last year. sure contributed to the high rating.
3. Tom Waits
sort of a new found love last year. most excellent.
4. Four Tet
Can't get enough four tet. seen him live several times.
Apart from his regular albums you should check out his remixes, and especially on the "dj kicks" album.
5. the tied fifth place between Pixies and Radiohead is not very suprising. both bands that has been around for a long time for me.
now, I could mention every band here in top 50. probably almost top 100. but I havn't all day. some bands. like, Koop, Hot Chip Wolfmother and so on. just didn't make it that high up on the list as i would have wanted. And that The Mars Volta fell out of top 10 is too bad.
Songs.
notice that not even a single Sonic youth song is up there in top 50. and first at 31 place is Hunted by a Freak
1.
Upon This Tidal Wave of Young Blood just so great as it gets
2.Eple I could listen to this many more times.
3.Don't Move To Finland!
I love all their songs!
4, 4 and 4.Poke a Pal (poke a pal in the eye..) Cold Night for Alligators (a legend!) Mushaboom (very catchy)
and honorary mentioning, and one of the best songs last year (and before that...)
Woman
Damn, it made it's way straight into guitar hero 2 in no time. respect =)
oh and let's not forget one of the best songs on one of the best albums last year.Over And Over
well, that's the slighty too short year in review.
