I have been using the Music App Spotify for about 12 years, even before it was generally available to the public, (through a friend in the music industry). They have just sent me a list of the 100 songs that I played most in the last 12 months.
At number TEN is Thirteen by Big Star. Very underrated group featuring Chris Bell. Listen here.
NINE is The Kiss by Judee Sill, Listen here. Fabulous, tragic, artist. Blog post coming.
EIGHT is A Man of Constant Sorrow by Sharon Shannon with Jackson Browne. Listen here. She invited guests on her Galway Girl album.
SEVEN is And Your Bird Can Sing by The Beatles. Listen here.
SIX is It's All Over Now Baby Blue by Bob Dylan. Listen here.
FIVE is City Girls by J J Cale. Listen here. Passed away in 2013.
FOUR is Stormy Weather by Etta James. Listen here. Even beats Ella!
THREE is Memphis by Faces. Listen here.
TWO is You Ain't Going Nowhere by Bob Dylan. Listen here.
And at NUMBER ONE is Roll on Babe by Ronnie Lane. Listen here.
I have dozens of favourite songs and this list isn't necessarily the top ten just those I have played the most. My next post will be a selection from the remaining 90 tunes!

Hello Bazza, I am sure that there is overlap in our music lists, but it is not reflected here! When I collected 78's I made a title index, and the song I owned the most versions of surprised me. I would have guessed something by Stephen Foster, Charmant Oiseau, or even The Carnival of Venice (I have it played on many instruments). However, the number one spot went to Annie Laurie with something like three dozen versions--not really my own favorite, but I guess everyone wanted to record it. Try Melba's version!

I like your taste in music, Barry. I see you have two Bob Dylan songs. I am unfamiliar with, “You Ain’t Going Nowhere” but it was nice to be introducednto it. My favorite of all your songs is the great Etta James belting out Stormy Weather. What a singer she was! My list would include a few Leonard Cohen songs, Eva Cassidy, Sam Cook, and Leon Bridges.
Your top 100 songs will be interesting for you to examine, especially if they just recently sent you the list. Sometimes we surprise ourselves by our changing times and tastes.
Of the names you mentioned, I am blushing a bit to say that I recognise only Bob Dylan and Beatles.
Jim: As I said I wouldn't necessarily pick these as my top ten - it's just what Spotify tells me I played the most. I love to get recommendations about all kinds of music, books and films. So thank you!
Arleen: I do enjoy all of the artistes that you mentioned. Sometimes I prefer cover versions of Leonard Cohen's songs but I do find myself listening to him a lot. I love Eva Cassidy's version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
Hels: I was surprised by the list. So much so that I initially doubted it! However I do rather lazily play ready made lists from my desktop. If you try one new song from that list make it Judee Sill - it's magical.

Hi Bazza - excellent list to read up and to have and I look forward to the next one - I must get on to Spotify sometime ... at one stage I was on it ... then decided I didn't need it ... need to have a rethink - take care and have a peaceful year end. Hilary
