Well, Juned tagged me with Jayvee’s Naked Meme and I’m obliged to answer because they’re my friends. Well here are the verbatim instructions:

1. Take a screen shot of either your Top 25 Most Played / 25 Recently Played / Top Rated songs on your music device.

2. Post them on your blog and explain yourself

3. Copy these instructions and tag 6 audiophiles to do the same thing

So here’s the screenshot:

Plain (and linked to previous posts) list version of the screenshot below:

• Michelle Branch - Breathe

• Matt Wertz - Everything’s Right

• [Rent] - Will I [Movie Version]

And here’s my explaining. According to my non-iTunes jukebox software, these are among the top 25 rated songs I have on my iPod. Note that I tend to play through my whole collection and so showing the most recently/top played 25 songs I have is no better than choosing at random. And since I haven’t updated my ratings since late last year, this list is quite outdated. But I fixed it up a bit so that it’s a good representation of the type of music I love.

I said before (more than 3 years ago) that “I don’t like a particular music genre but I do like individual pieces of music. The only criteria is that it should sound good, never mind the lyrics or the message.” So you’ll see that my list above spans somewhat a wide range of genres, years, and styles. (Hmmm, maybe I should include Pachelbel’s Canon In D to even things out. Hehehe.) If Juned describes his taste in music as eclectic, I would describe mine as diverse. Not elitist nor populist, but just diverse.

So, the poor souls I’m tagging next are: Sasha, Rico, J, Tito Pao, Mike, and Ramil. Hey, it’ll be fun! (Post a comment if you followed through so that I can check your list out.)
