Funny that you should mention Roxy Music Edgar because my I have two of their songs in my 10 highest playcounts. I also have Duran Duran, a couple of tracks from the Blues Brothers OST and even Goody Two Shoes (from the Hot Fuzz OST of course!) What can I say? I'm old school.

My #1 song for a while was the cover of "Valerie" by Ronson and Winehouse, followed by "Kick, Push" by Lupe Fiasco. Then I realised the last.fm scrobbler wasn't working properly. Now my love of Radiohead, The Smiths, Manic Street Preachers, Elliott Smith and Air are properly acknowledged! I used to have that problem as well.
