Artists With Few Plays (15-20 Plays)

I was looking at my boy's blog and was interested in mimicking a blog post that he had did recently. He had looked at the bottom half of his least played artists on his Last.fm charts and listed them in a posting.

15 Plays
Athlete-
I was a little surprised that this band was
so low on the charts. They had a hella good LP.








Shiny Toy Guns-
This LA band was a big hit for me back in '05, but seemed to never get many plays.










Lyrics Born-
I'm not surprised by this cat being low on the charts; I don't really like his shit much. Quannum Records has good artists (such as Blackalicious, Pigeon John, and Honeycut), but LB hailing from Berkeley, California just doesn't do it for me.














16 Plays
Shad K.-
A friend of mine from "I left My iPod in El Segundo" gave me this cat's LP back in January, and I really liked what I had hea
rd. I gotta dust off this guy's LP and give it hella more rotation than this! Crazy!
























P.O.D.-
San Diego big-time band, P.O.D. was a big hit for me in my earlier days of getting into rock back in high school; I guess they didn't have the influence to make it higher in the charts.












17 Plays
Souls of Mischief-
DAMN! I must really be slippin! I work for Hiero and the group that brought the Hieroglyphics to the forefront isn't gettin' any serious rotation from me!

















Dionne Farris-
"They say I'm hopeless...like a penny with a hole in it." I guess the "Hopeless" smash hit from the "Love Jones" soundtrack didn't give Dionne enough strength to be higher in my plays.








MSTRKRFT-
The electronic group from Toronto that is sort of a big deal to the rest of my friends really must not be sort of a big deal to me with 17 measly plays. They definitely need some heavier rotation than what I have given them.












18 Plays
Modest Mouse-
Even with hits like "Float On", Modest Mouse didn't have the balls to make it higher on the charts. Nah...(jokin)....I need to give their music more of a chance. I got so much music on this damn computer, it's hard to sort through everyone.









mewithoutYou-
"January 1979" was a song that got me into this band while I was in college in Maryland. I remember playing their LP at the time (2005) a lot, so I am truly surprised that these cats are so low on the play charts.





19 Plays

D-Block-
Now, this is a shocker...all through my time of hip-hop, D-Block has been one of my favorite groups. Styles P. is atop of the list of my favorite emcees and it is a trip that these Yonkers natives didn't make it past 20 plays?!















Thursday-
Another band from college that I was really into at
the time, and that guess didn't have the spark to
make it higher in the plays.












20 Plays

Janis Joplin-
With the smoky voice, this woman that passed away at the young age of only 27 years old had the talent to soar beyond. She will definitely get a lot more playtime!










Michael Andrews-
"Mad World" by this cat and Gary Jules is my favorite song of all-time. It defines me as a person completely more than any other song I have ever heard.
