I turned on my Yahoo! Launch station this evening, and it was music to my ears! For whatever legal reasons, I had never heard any songs by "Weird Al" Yankovic on the station, despite my giving him a very high rating. Whatever the reason was, it is now resolved, and the song Traffic Jam was coming through loud and clear.
Now, if only they'll start playing the Beatles.
Here's what my station has played recently, in reverse chronological order. It's kind of an odd playlist, but not too bad. I lowered Elton John's rating. Not that I have anything against him, but I don't think I'll ever really want to listen to more Elton John.

The Benedictine Monks Of Santo Traditor Autem - Benedictus
Best juxtaposition ever. And who knew Ron Santo had Benedictine monks?
Sorry, but due to HTML formatting, you missed the full name of the artist and chant. It was The Benedictine Monks Of Ron Santo Domingo De Silos, performing the classic hit Traditor Autem - Benedictus Antoifona (Modo I) Cantico.
I think it's a travashamockery that Ron Santo's monks aren't in the hall of fame.
I love the Raymond Babbit-like documenting of one's listening habits. I obsess over what I can do statistically in iTunes (not much unfortunately). I wish we could pull all the raw details of our 'listenings' out for hours of meaningless analysis.
My particular listeners tic is the comparison of albums released in the same year. I love to see who was doing what at the same time. 1967-68 is my sweet spot.
