Latest social networking mean

Vodkapundit asks everyone to list their top 10 most-played songs in iTunes.

So here's mine:

Battle of the Heroes - John Williams - Star Wars III
Descent Into Mystery - Danny Elfman - Batman
Heavy Price Paid - Bungie - Halo 2
Duel of the Fates - John Williams - Star Wars I
Peril - Bungie - Halo 2
Molossus - Hans Zimmer - Batman Begins
Impend - Bungie - Halo 2
Remembrance - Bungie - Halo 2
In Amber Clad - Bungie - Halo 2
Orbit of Glass - Bungie - Halo 2

You listen to nothing but movie and game soundtracks? Well no, absolutely not. But when I am writing my books, I listen to nothing but instrumental music that fits the mood of the book I'm writing (and the mood is fairly dark and heroic). I can't listen to music with lyrics when I write, it messes with my focus.

Out of curiosity, I filtered out soundtracks, and this is what I got:

Where The Streets Have No Name - U2
On Her Majesty's Secret Service - The Propellerheads
Welcome Home (Sanitarium) - Metallica
Spybreak - The Propellerheads
The Shortest Straw - Metallica
The Frayed Ends of Sanity - Metallica
The Call of Ktulu - Metallica
Distintegration - The Cure
Punk Rock Girl - The Dead Milkmen
No One Lives Forever - Oingo Boingo

Metallica features prominently because of my exercise routine, which generally involves a strong, fast beat.

And the next ten:

Breaking Up The Girl - Garbage
In My Life - The Beatles
Like a Rolling Stone (Live) - Bob Dylan
Giants And The Thunder Titan - my son's 10 second "theme song"
Justify My Love - Madonna
Ain't No Fun - AC/DC
Don't Crash The Ambulance - Mark Knopfler
The Voice - The Moody Blues
Ava Adore - Smashing Pumpkins
Fortress Around Your Heart - Sting

Nothing I feel particularly "shameful" about there. I am surprised by Breaking Up The Girl, though.
