Narnian1, you're a very well-rounded listener. Good for you! What's your username? Sadly, my charts are pretty skewed because I'm such an obsessive fan of my top 4 artists
![Tongue :P](./images/smilies/10.gif)
TAN might have been on top if they had more songs, but my top 3 just have so many more albums out that they're inevitably going to get more plays.
Here are my 15...
1 Relient K 4,157
2 Switchfoot 1,470
3 The Rocket Summer 1,362
4 Tenth Avenue North 1,315
5 Owl City 807
6 Copeland 486
7 Mae 483
8 Sanctus Real 426
9 Falling Up 388
10 This Beautiful Republic 374
11 Danyew 335
12 Britt Nicole 307
13 Jon Foreman 263
14 Deas Vail 256
15 Anberlin 249
I went through phases of being addicted to Britt Nicole, TBR, and Falling Up and I am no longer totally obsessed with them even though I still love their music... so my charts don't quite reflect my current taste. Imogen Heap would probably be my #1 artist if I hadn't lost most of my play counts when I switched computers last year(about 2 years ago she was all I listened to for months. lol)
I don't talk about him much, but I totally love Danyew. I wish he would release a full-length album already!
The Owl City music video didn't quite meet up to my expectations. I was expecting something really clever (after all, it's Adam Young. haha) and it was a nice video but definitely nothing too special. And Shaq mouthing "Take me with you" was pretty cheesy.
Lark, thanks for the link to Canopy Red. I'll listen to them and let you know what I think!
Kate, I love Rewind. It's an amazing song. Also from All The Houses I'm pretty fond of A Lover's Charm. Something about that one really enchants me. Anything You Say is awesome; I love the piano in it. Life In These Little Boats is very nice too. The whole albums is worth buying for sure.
It's hard to pick favorites from Weathervanes! Hannah is amazing. I love how the lyrics just roll off his tongue in the verses. Starring is a fun one. Location might be my top song on the album.
I definitely would like to get Vagabonds next week if at all possible! I'm trying to familiarize myself with all their other music right now before the album is released.
Oh, that's good to hear about the bars. We really have no idea what it will be like, but the show did say all ages (some of the shows didn't) so hopefully it'll be fine!
I dunno, I think I pretty much love every stage of Copeland's music.

Aaron's voice does sound better later, but I still love his falsetto in their older stuff. ESR
might be my favorite album by them. YAMS is quite good... I don't think I can pick a favorite album!
One song by The Morning Light I really like is Books and Letters. I'm not too familiar with their music from the full-length, just the EP.
Lady Liln, ah, every time I see your posts they remind me that I need to get Disappearing World. Or at least listen to it. I still haven't listened to anything from it!
Birds & Cages is more polished and cohesive I think than All The Houses. All The Houses is still an incredible debut album. (unless you count This Place Is Painted Red as their debut.

About female/male vocalists, I think the reason female vocalists can be more annoying is because if they aren't quite on it's more noticeable in a higher range. Little mistakes in a lower register are always more forgivable. And so the female vocalists autotune their voices and they sound annoyingly processed. I wish Lights didn't autotune her voice because I could like it a lot more if she didn't. I enjoy listening to her music so much though that I don't really mind too much. The only female vocalists I listen to regularly are her, Britt Nicole, Imogen Heap, and Regina Spektor. The last 3 are very talented and don't need any autotuning (from what I've heard in live performances).
