In what is hopefully a series of pots if I can put my mind into it, I want to look at my 2009. Let's start with the music. 2009 was the year Will got an iPod and stopped having to buy and use burnable CDs. I've discovered some artists that I really enjoy and outgrown some music I once clung to. It's been an interesting year of rock and pop, Gaga and musicals. What will 2010 bring? I dunno, do I look psychic?
Now for the 25 most played songs in my iTunes play list for the year. Why 25? I dunno, because.
1.(Tie) I Don't Care performed by Apocalyptica 35 Plays (I love the use of rock and cello together.)
2. All The Strange, Strange Creatures composed by Murray Head 35 Plays (So much of the epicness of Doctor Who is shown by this track.
3. I Need a Miracle (Sunflake Remix) performed by KLM Music featuring Coco Star 34 Plays (Dance music is repetive, I'll be the first to admit that but it's still got a great beat to it.)
4. The Rueful Fate of Donna Noble composed by Murray Head 34 Plays (A very sad song, inspired by one of my favorite fictional character. I have plans for this in the future.)
5. All Along The Watchtower performed by BT4 32 Plays (How awesome is it when the entire mythology arc of your sci-fi drama revolves around a Bob Dylan song? Yet another reason Battlestar Galactica will be missed in 2010.)
6. The Greatest Show Unearthed performed by Creature Feature 32 Plays (A macabre song, twisted yet it has a distinct charm to it.)
7. The End performed by Groove Coverage 31 Plays (More Techno but the singer is talented and the beat and lyrics resonate.)
8. Zydrate Anatomy performed by Terrance Zdunich, Alexa Vega & Paris Hilton 31 Plays (A catchy, tasty song from Repo The Genetic Opera, perverse and enticing, quite like the title drug, Zydrate.)
9. We Are W.I.T.C.H. performed by Marion Raven 30 Plays (The title song to a somewhat forgettable Disney Cartoon is rather infectious, beautiful, and memorable.)
10. This is Gallifrey: Our Childhood, Our Home Composed by Murray Head 30 Plays (A song that hints at a greatness, a legacy.)
11. A Dazzling End composed by Murray Head 30 Plays (Just as it's companion piece, The Ruful Fate of Donna Noble hints a tragic end, this piece hints at one that is filled with hope and greatness.)
12. Valentine's Day performed by Linkin Park 29 Plays (I really don't know what it is about this song that gets me but there's just something there.)
13. Doomsday composed by Murray Head 29 Plays ( A Song of loss. Mournful but beautiful. An elegy for what could have been.)
14. I'm Coming to Get You composed by Murray Head 29 Plays (Going to cut down on Doctor Who music in 2010, I swear. Still, such a song of wonder.)
15. The Dark and Endless Dalek Night Composed by Murray Head 29 Plays (And a song of fear. Nothing like Latin chanting to incite fear.)
16. Welcome to the Black Parade performed by My Chemical Romance 29 Plays (A song about the acceptance of death, still joyous rather than mournful.)
17. Any Other Name composed by Thomas Newman 29 Plays (Tragic and hopeful at once, a life passing by. One of my favorite pieces from one of my favorite movies, possibly even favorite.)
18. Let's Go To The Mall performed by Cobie Smulders as Robin Sparkles 29 Plays (A fun tribute to the eighties.)
19. Planet Schmanet, Janet performed by Tim Curry 29 Plays(Okay, of all the songs in Rocky Horror, no clue why this is here. Seriously, I don't get it.)
20. Freedom Fighters composed by Two Steps From Hell 29 Plays (Trailer music at it's best.)
21. Slayer's Elegy composed by Christophe Beck 28 Plays (Tragedy, mass death, that seems to be a recurring element in the music I listen to.)
22. Kingdom Hearts performed by Czech Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra & Kuehn’s Mixed Choir 28 Plays (Capturing some of my favorite music from one of my favorite games, truly something to be heard.)
23. Everything You Ever performed by Neil Patrick Harris 28 Plays (Spoilers for Doctor Horrible's Sing Along Belong in the link. The Emotional high point of the musical and last act. God I love Whedon.)
24. Doctor Who Series 4 Opening Credits 27 Plays (This is my ringtone.)
25. Mary Jane/Mary Lane performed by the Cast of Reefer Madness 25 Plays (There's just something about this song, a lave song in the middle of a satire, that I love.)
