A brief musical interlude

This past weekend when I was driving to Berkeley for a meeting I just hit a wall with listening to news and tuned my iPod to "my favorites" playlist. This is automatically generated and I thought the music was great (of course LOL). So here is the "top ten" (well, 11 because 8-9 and 10-11 tied really)

1 Code Monkey by Jonathan Coulton (played 132 times!)
2 This Kiss by Faith Hill (63)
3 Gently Johnny by Michelle Mays (59)
4 Aradia by Alchemy VII (52)
5 Firefly Theme - The Ballad of Serenity by Sonny Rhodes (49)
6 Cargo by Laramie Crocker (47)
7 Invocation of the Graces by Lisa Thiel (44)
8 (Do You Wanna Date My) Avatar by The Guild (43)
9 Love is Your Magic by Michelle Mays (43)
10 First of May by Jonathan Coulton (41)
11 Pool Of Dreams by Oracle (41)

I suppose I should note that it isn't just a matter of number of times played - they are all rated 4-5 stars by hand at some point. I'm sure there are, for instance, bellydance music pieces that have been played more times when rehearsing. So this is rated faves in order of # of plays.
