You personal Pop 25, pop pickers... not 'arff!

[TrevorR]

So what floats your particular boat? I'm sure that most of us have a generic fruit-based listening device or similar... Was looking at the most played playlist today and though that it was an interesting cross-section of my listening tastes - overall a pretty good snapshot. I wondered what other Basschatters' favourite tunes might be. iTunes conveniently lets you cut and paste a copy of the playlist. So here's my favourite tunes. What have you been listening to?

Just looked and mine is currently all Mouse Outfit and LEVELZ, with three Everything Everything tunes, two Ben Folds Five and one Mongrels track breaking in.

Am currently loving the Manchester rap scene though.

I don't get playlists myself. I like to play albums from start to finish....must be an age thing

Albums on heavy rotation in the car though (I travel a lot for work)

Tubular Bells 1 and 3 Mike Oldfield
Focus III Focus
Yessongs Yes
Clockwork Angels Rush
Seconds out Genesis
Bursting out Jethro Tull
Selling England.... Genesis
Tales from Topographic Oceans Yes (strange one this this, a bit deep but makes the miles fly by!!)

Don't know how to get the most played on my robotic OSed phone, but the recent played are all Honey Is Cool albums and podcasts.

Slightly off topic but is there any good bass related podcasts I should be listening to?

[BigRedX]

I don't really do playlists either. I have one for long distance travelling and another two of favourite singles of the 70s and 80s, but these are all massive and go on for hours.

Normally I'll just stick iTunes on random play and skip anything I don't feel in the mood for at the time.

I also want to join in...but don't have access to any kind of "most played" playlist

However, off the top of my head, these are the songs I've recently been listening to the most:

Take Your Time - Sam Hunt
Need You Now - Lady Antebellum
Whiskey And You - Chris Stapleton (and in fact, the entire Traveller album!)
House Party - Sam Hunt
Play it Again - Luke Bryan
Where it's At - Dustin Lynch
John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16 - Keith Urban

There are others of course

no I don't do playlists either, just got my mp3 player on shuttle, it's got about 5000 tracks on it, quite like not knowing what's coming next

I've got into using playlists more over time. The most played was one that came preset on my wife's iPod Touch but wasn't on my Classic 160 so I did a very simple smart playlist to pick it up. On a lot of albums I've tended to mark my favoutite songs with either 4 or 5 stars. That way, rather ran just using shuffle I've done a smart playlist which picks them up. Then when I play them on shuffle it's basically a radio station that only plays stuff I really like. I've also therefore also done best of playlists for particular bands... Lizzy, Yes, Beatles, Motown, ELO, Horslips, Doobies, Gordon Giltrap, Rush etc that only pick up 4 & 5 star tracks by those artists.

Then there are themed playlists... Wal Bass Tracks, TVTheme rock songs, Best of Bond, stuff for my 5 year old for the car... And so on. Gets a bit addictive, I should probably go out more...
