My friend Mike, AKA “The Callipygian,” posted 6 of his iPod’s Top 25 Most Played Songs on his blog, with an explanation of why he loves each of them so much. I thought this was an idea good enough to steal (as did he, since he apparently stole it from someone else himself), so I’m listing my Top 25 here in reverse order. I don’t have the time to explain why I love these songs so much, but I will post how many times I’ve listened to each. I also thought this would make a fun myspace bulletin post that people can copy and repost to share with friends, so check for it there, too.

24. “Sad but True” by Transplants; 30 plays
