Background music, my top 25

Some time ago, Entertainment Weekly featured a column by author Stephen King about his 25 favorite songs. After he made his list, King checked his iTunes playlist counter and found that what he actually listened to was different from his professed “favorites.”  Here’s my current Top 25 work playlist as counted by iTunes over the past 18 months.
