Wencke,

I tend to agree with you: the iPod is pretty much one of the greatest things ever invented for sure. I love mine.

The Police? That is very cool. I like Sting. I would be jealous, but for the fact that some friends and I (Oswald, Shaun, Stephen, Jordan) will be catching Dave Matthews Band in Tampa in September. That makes me pretty happy.

“The Best of What’s Around” is an excellent song.

I’ll go ahead and get it out here: My all-time personal favorite DMB song is “Grey Street.” It is not their best musically or lyrically or anything like that. There are numerous songs that are “better” than it. There is nothing musically that makes me just go WOW like in so many other of their songs, but for whatever reason though, “Grey Street” just clicks with me and I love it. They have so many great ones though! I am listening to “Recently” from Remember Two Things right now.

i’ve always loved DMB, and love all the “favorites” like…grey street, too much, ants marching, #41, etc….but a real good one is “The Best of What’s Around” that song rocks.

Jordan, I will definitely be listening to more albums from now on. I used to, prior to my album. There are some that just SHOULD be listened to that way. For example, on Sgt. Pepper, many of the tracks run together… That is one that I have heard so many times, it always does sound a bit odd when “Sgt. Pepper” is not followed by “A Little Help from My Friends.” I still love playlists though – I have some for my various things. For example, “1990′s Radio” is a playlist that grabs all my “popular” music from the 1990′s and randomly plays songs. It’s like listening to a radio station when I was in high school. Another one grabs random live DMB stuff so it’s like an always-rotating concert set. Very cool. Everytime I sync the iPod it shuffles the order. But yes, albums are good.

@Shaun – I have a feeling that is where I’ll end up eventually. By the way, I just listened to Under the Table and Dreaming from start to finish this morning at work – It is just plain awesome!

Crash rocks!

I’m 50-50 with the albums / playlists.

See, I’m an album listener. I love my iPod as well, but rarely find myself using play lists. I like to hear how the artist has arranged the album. I am always interested in the placement of songs on an album…The “flow”.

Also, when I have used play lists or been with others who do, I find myself expecting to hear songs in the order they are on the album. So, I get in a car and I am delighted to hear John Mayer’s “Stop This Train”, but then I feel so violated when it’s followed by Gwen Stefani’s “Banana” instead of Mayer’s “Slow Dancing In A Burning Room” (as it is on the album).
