I’ve had my music player on my computer and iPod synced up with Last.FM for a while. Here, then are the top 50 artists who’ve been played. Even though I have my players set up to play random tracks, I think this is a pretty good representation of what I’d consider my favourite music. A couple of anomalies are the Theme Songs showing up at Number 8, and Emmanuel College Chapel Choir showing up at all (don’t understand that one??). Elvis Presley is surprisingly high, too. And, really, Emmylou Harris probably shouldn’t be on that list (I’d replace her with Iris Dement).
