• One Year on Last.Fm

    Jul 2 2009, 13h02

    In this past year on Last.FM I would say that music taste had dramatically changed at least 3 times, so my Overall & Charts mean pretty much nothing and even my 6 month charts mean very little. I haven't reset my charts so I can look back on my past music tastes. Here are my charts from the past year.

    1, Radiohead 727 - Formally of one of my favorite bands that I no longer listen to but I would probably give a new album a spin.

    2, Arcade Fire 625 - Pretty much the same story as Radiohead except i would like a new album from them.

    3, The Velvet Underground 585 - One of my current favorite bands with Captain Beefheart, I have liked The VU since the start of my time on Last.Fm, it has remained one of my favorite bands for the longest amount of time.

    4, Death Cab for Cutie 538 - Same as Radiohead and Arcade Fire,

    5, Pixies 438 - I haven't Listened to them in ages but I may start again some day, I guess other bands just occupy my time these days.

    6, The White Stripes 340 - Stopped listening to them for ages but have started again recently after getting their live and B-side collection as well there Beefheart Covers.

    7, Vampire Weekend 329 - Same as Arcade Fire, will listen to next album

    8, The Beatles 327 - Listening to them a lot more latterly

    9, Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band 301 - Only really started listening to Beefheart in the last 3 or 4 months and has become one of my favorite artists.

    10, David Bowie 293 - Listen to him sporadically

    11, The New Pornographers 279 - Use to listen to them a lot and I still listen sometimes.

    12, Led Zeppelin 267 - Listen to them sporadically

    13, Sonic Youth 257 - Haven't listened to them in a while, so pretty much same as Pixies, just other bands I need to listen to more.

    14, The Clash 251 - Listen to them sporadically

    15, MGMT 239 - Don't really listen to much more,

    16, Modest Mouse 187 - Use to listen to them sporadically but play the odd tune here and there.

    17, Muse 180 - Don't listen to much more

    18, Spoon 176 - Listen to them sporadically

    19, Yeah Yeah Yeahs 166 - Don't listen to much more

    20, The Stooges 158 - Listen to them sporadically
