Scrobbles Don't Lie
by 
Purplepash 
Thanks to Rhyner who I borrowed this idea from.
This is a list of the artists I have listened to the most since I started scrobbling (May 2017), with the album being the one I have scrobbled from the most by that artist.
It should be interesting (at least to me) to see my recent listening patterns now that streaming allows me to listen to what I want, not just what I own, and how they will change over time. So, yes, this chart is more for me than for you. :)
A small technicality is it does not take into account youtube views - I have not been able to link my youtube account.

I am sort of surprised my favourite band ever isn't higher, but I have heard them so much. Hence B sides being my most listened to in recent years - the songs I wouldn't have heard as much ages ago.
Update: they are now where they should be...a lot of archival live material being released helps that...and Doolittle is now on top. Can't beat the classics
