Here's a fun activity for music lovers I just ran across. I don't know that my results show anything more than I a) have embarrassingly outdated musical tastes and b) have way too much time on my hands this afternoon, but a few of them made me chuckle.

Well I tried this and got stopped in my tracks (yes, pun intended) when every song of the 19 were Beatle Songs!!
I guess I am dating myself but I love the Beatles!
I know what you mean. There's a pretty wide variety of stuff on my iPod, but this particular shuffle decided to fixate on only the small percentage I put there just because it brought back fond memories of my youth. The Barry Manilow and Austin Roberts was one thing, but when it pulled up David Cassidy and one tune from Multiplication Rock, I thought, "Do I really want to admit to this?" ;)
