It's a phase. I've been filling in the gaps in my Sinéad collection since May, so I've been listening to her more than usual. At this time last year, I was doing the same with Morrissey, and before that, Joni Mitchell, and before that, Elvis Costello, etc. I don't even want to think about who's going to be next (please don't let it be R.E.M.; there's way too much out there that I don't have!)

But that's just it--even my favorite bands (currently Moz, The Beatles, The Smiths, & Sinéad) each get less than 10% of my total song plays each. I can't OD on one or two bands at a time like I could 20 years ago.

1. Morrissey - Ringleader of the Tormentors
2. The Smiths - Strangeways, Here We Come
3. Morrissey - Viva Hate (only if I can include "Hairdresser on Fire")
4. Morrissey - Vauxhall and I
5. The Smiths - The Smiths

10. Bob Dylan - tie between Bringing It All Back Home, Blood on the Tracks, Time Out of Mind, and Love and Theft.
If compilations could be included, I'm sure Beethoven Was Deaf, Bona Drag, and My Early Burglary Years would be on the list. And of course, Louder Than Bombs.

You have incredibly good taste. The only thing off your lists that I don't have (and love) is The Triffids. I think I should check them out.
