Recently played songs
Can someone please tell me what is the attraction in posting their last X played songs on a blog or forum post?
I know I have a Current Read section but a book lasts a lot longer than an average 3 minutes for a song and says a lot more about a person than the last 5 or so songs they played. My music tastes vary so much as well especially as I have my Ipod on shuffle most of the day, one moment it could be Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit, then Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden, then Milkshake by Kelis, then Banana Pancakes by Jack Johnson and then Jump Around by House of Pain.
I think a lot more insightful thing to post would be your top X played songs, although I think my top song is Break Stuff from Limp Bizkit so that would tell people I get frustrated and angry a lot at work and that probably wouldn’t be a good thing. 
Yea I’ve never understood why people have such things in their signatures. Personally using a service like Audioscrobbler is heaps better. And pointing a link to their Scrobbler account is a better idea. Scrobbler tracks the top played tracks/artists and even gives you suggestions.
