Whatcha listening to?

I’ve been doing a lot of listening to music lately, both at home and at the office becuase for me, music helps drown out the background noise. And I’ve been finding myself listening to a lot of stuff repeatedly, which is unusual for me. Usually, I can tolerate 3-4 plays of a song/album and then it has to sit on a shelf for a while. Not so much – maybe I’m getting better music, or I’m just getting used to it… Anyhoo, I decided to put together a list of the top 10 songs/albums that are getting major airtime… (well, 11 because I never like being restricted). FYI – the links go to iTunes, for your convenience… ;-).

currently listening

1. Sara Bareilles – Little Voice, particularly the song “Morningside”
2. Brandi Carlile – The Story, most often “The Story” and “Late Morning Lullaby”
3. The Killers – “Uncle Johnny”
4. Grace Potter and the Nocturnals – “Deliverance Road”
5. Soulive – “Crosstown Traffic”
6. A Fine Frenzy – “You Picked Me”
7. Daughtry – “It’s Not Over” (I know, but it’s actually a good tune)
8. Everlast – “Saving Grace” although “White Trash Beautiful” is also great
9. Guggenheim Grotto – “Wonderful Wizard”
10. Sia – “Breathe Me”: even with it being used in tons of commercials, it’s still great.
11. Blind Boys of Alabama – “Amazing Grace” They could kill this doing it normally – using the music of “House of the Rising Sun” makes it even better.

So, anyone else have a list? Sarah, Michael, Van, Tom?
