I love looking back on the year to find what music I listened to most. Thanks to last.fm this is all super easy. I was surprised to find that I played more music in 2017 than in any of the previous four years. Go me.

31,323 total plays for the year, from 2,188 different artists, comprising 8,656 unique songs.

My top ten artists of the year have both old favorites and new blood. Apparently I listened to The Jam a lot this year?

Depeche Mode (715)
The Jam (553)
Gary Numan (481)
Rush (414)
Trisomie 21 (401)
The Birthday Massacre (384)
She Past Away (362)
Ultravox (357)
Skeleton Hands (350)
Moby (309)

And the top ten songs had a couple of surprises. I do really like Neil Peart's drumming on Between The Wheels.

Rush – Between The Wheels (59)
Camoflage – That Smiling Face (52)
Skeleton Hands – Dotted Lines (51)
Trisomie 21 – The Last Song (49)
Belong – Never Came Close (46)
Tones On Tail – Performance (46)
Le Cassette – Arms Of Mind (45)
Fad Gadget – Lady Shave (44)
TR/ST – Shoom (42)
Rush – The Body Electric (42)

With the amount of times the kiddo wanted to listen to Sia's Chandelier on the way to school I'm surprised that didn't feature more heavily.
