What’s your most played song of all time?

What’s your most played song of all time? I don’t just mean since you signed up to Spotify or whatever, but since you were born?

This is quite hard for me to work out, especially as I was poor as a child/teen and couldn’t afford much music. I didn’t really do singles, just had a small amount of cassette albums either purchased or copied from friends. So most tracks on an album would tend to get played the same number of times.

You're going to have to have a guess at yours surely

By time it must be Sister Ray by the velvet underground for me. I can pretty much hum all 20 minutes of it I heard it that much.

Probably something by Zep, they’ve been a perennial since I was a young teen, right through the punk years until today; anything off Led Zep 2, I’ll go for Ramble On.

Almost impossible to say for sure but I tend to play albums in order and start again if interrupted even to the point of always rewinding tapes in my Walkman days. There are also a couple of singles I owned as a child that have been on computer based playlists of mine for twenty odd years now so possible contenders include:

Tears of a Clown - The Beat
Ghost Town - The Specials
Teenage Riot - Sonic Youth
Heroin - Velvet Underground (side two but I always played side two more)
Forget The Swan - Dinosaur Jr
Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden
Welcome to the Jungle - Guns 'n' Roses

The last two are the most played albums of my childhood/teenage years. In fact it's probably none of them and something I haven't even considered.

 

[Knotted]

Really difficult to say. I think if I saw the actual statistics I would be surprised. Howlin' Wolf's Killing Floor has been a continuous staple since my teens. Maybe that.

 

[killer b]

Probably Bohemian Rhapsody or something else similarly ubiquitous

 

[Spandex]

Kids

 

[Sasaferrato]

Probably Distant Drums by Jim Reeves.

 

[Steel Icarus]

I think there's a good chance Underworld's Dirty Epic is mine

 

[Numbers]

Kids

Choon.

 

[JimW]

Possibly Westlin Winds off Dick Gaughan's Handful of Earth or one off the same, maybe one where the title escapes me by Swamptrash in with a shout as that was on a mix tape my first serious girlfriend did for me and I liked it and played it loads.

beatles: "nothing's gonna change my world" or "make the world go away" by eddy arnold

 

[stavros]

I'm not sure, because the vast majority of my listening is done to albums, meaning all the tracks get equal plays.
