Wow, classical music is really dead, huh? 
10 random tracks on your media player
- Thread starter Steve Roby
- Start date
I've got some Arvo Pärt, Henryk Gorecki, Philip Glass, and Johann Johannsson on the drive, but with 15,000 tracks to go through randomly, the chances of hitting one of them are slim, I guess.
I don't have any classical purchased. If I want classical I'll just put it on the radio, same as with jazz.
Alright, I'll have another go, too.

I find it mildly scary that I'm actually the second person to have a Rachel Stevens song in a randomised list of just ten tracks.
Anyway, you can definitely see my predilection for 80s tracks and cheesy music in the above short selection. Doing a Temis, and listing my most listened to top 10 is even more magnificent:

Learning to Fly - Tom Petty

My most listened to consists of Eminem's Replase, then the next 10 is Arctic Monkeys' Humbug, then Just Jack's All Night Cinema, because they're my three most recent album purchases (in reverse chronological order) so I've been listening a lot to them.
You mean you've been comparing various videos of Buck dancing? There's no hope left for you, my son...all is lost...
But you get Extra Bonus Points for having The Smiths, The Jesus And Mary Chain, Jeff Buckley and Slowdive in there.
Only yours and 2 others, I swear.You mean you've been comparing various videos of Buck dancing? There's no hope left for you, my son...all is lost...
My taste is superb.But you get Extra Bonus Points for having The Smiths, The Jesus And Mary Chain, Jeff Buckley and Slowdive in there.

Wow. I must have played at least half of those to death when I bought the albums. Although they are also all from 2007 and 2008 when I got my laptop, so clearly that was my only means of listening to them back then (no stereo in uni).
The first truly old song is 14th, and that's Puppets by Depeche Mode.
