So I've had the iPod since christmas and I have about 20,000 songs on it. iTunes does some funny stuff when it plays songs at random but here are the top 5 tracks.
1 - 6'1 by Liz Phair - A track from exile in guyville about inadequate men. I like it and I listen to it through choice a bit. Good track and worth hearing.
2 - George Square Thatcher Death Party by Mogwai - the stand out track from the new (out next week) Mogwai album. I am highly biased cos a mate is in the band but this is a great track. I love the vocoded vocals and I greatly dislike Maggie Thatcher. I suspect that we will see parties in Glasgow when she dies and this could be the soundtrack. A number one in my mind.
3 - Billiard Player Song by Shellac - I bought this 7" single as it came out in 1992 (?). I was a high-school Shellac fan after being a high-school Big Black fan and their early singles are some of my favourite music. These tracks are not very easy to hear but I do think that you should track them down. Shellac are one of the best bands ever and you should see them live and listen to them if you can.
4 - letters to the metro by Mogwai - I've been hammering Hardcore will never die but you will and you should too. See above.
5 - Ramble on (2007 remaster) by Led Zeppelin - I'm not a massive Zeppelin fan but this was one of the first albums that went on the iPod because Amazon gave me a free download. Ramble on is a great track and is worth a spin. Not sure how it got into my top 5 right enough. Curse you, the non-random shuffle feature of iTunes.
