Summer soundtrack

This Week’s Topic is: 

What music has been your summer soundtrack?

Summer, such that it was, had me listening to soundtracks mostly as I’ve been writing fairly furiously. Here’s a list thanks to LastFm:

1		Hans Zimmer			279
2		Peter Gabriel			171
3		Clint Mansell			141
3		Frédéric Chopin			141
5		[unknown]			129
6		Vladimir Ashkenazy			111
7		Hans Zimmer & James Newton Howard			101
8		Pink Floyd			91
9		Libera			88
9		God Is an Astronaut			88
11		The Rolling Stones			86
12		Ludovico Einaudi			83
13		In Flames			79
14		Florence + the Machine			75
15		Explosions in the Sky			72

Those number are for the last 3 months. The ‘unknown’ is actually Bear McCreary with the soundtrack to Battlestar Galactica. No idea why LastFM refuses to acknowledge him as the composer.

Here are my top ten individual tracks for the past 3 months:

1		Snow Patrol – What If This Storm Ends?			24
2		Gotye – Somebody That I Used To Know			19
3		Pink Mountaintops – While We Were Dreaming			14
4		Ludovico Einaudi – MELODIA AFRICANA I			10
4		Hans Zimmer, Nick Glennie-Smith & Harry Gregson-Williams– Fort Walton – Kansas			10
4		Florence + the Machine – Seven Devils			10
7		Clint Mansell – Dreams			9
8		God Is an Astronaut – Fire Flies and Empty Skies			8
9		Hans Zimmer – Chant			7
9		Hans Zimmer – The Village			7

And a couple new bands I discovered are And the Giraffe and Lethian Dreams.

So those are the official numbers 🙂

What’s your summer soundtrack?
