Advantages: Good to know what I listen to most

Disadvantages: none, I don't think? Maybe my taste in music?

I have just come across this on dooyoo and after reading a few reviews, it got me thinking and wondering what my top 20 would be. It's also got me on the iTunes Store to buy some of the songs that are listed on here. So here goes-a right odd selection:

1. Smiley Faces-Gnarles Barkley
This song gets me up and going. I love this version obviously-it gets me running whilst training, but I also loved the version that was sung on Strictly Come Dancing on one of the Jive dances.

2. Somewhere Over the Rainbow-Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
I'm not surprised this is in the top 20. It was the song that I walked down the aisle too when I got married last summer. I first heard it on ER when Mark Greene was dying-very sad, but very happy memories too.

3. You Know My Name (from Casino Royale)-Chris Cornell
I loved this James Bond and loved the song, especially Chris Cornell's voice. Another song that makes me run a little faster.

4. When the Night Feels my Song-Bedouin Soundclash
A song I heard from an advert and haven't got it out of my head. It's worth a listen-very upbeat and summery.

5. Wherever you will go (acoustic)-The Calling
An amazing song I first heard in America. The Calling aren't very well known here but I would highly recommend their album 'Camino Palmero'.

6. Be Yourself-Audioslave
The only Audioslave song I really like, which I guess is a bit of a shame as I love Chris Cornell's voice.

7. Are You Gonna Be My Girl-Jet
The perfect festival song! This song rocks and gets me up wherever I am, especially on a run.

8. Save Me-Smallville Soundtrack
Didn't realise I listened to this so much, but it's good to listen to the full song, rather than catch the chorus on the TV programme-sounds quite different.

9. Heartbeats-Jose Gonzalez
A beautiful song, where the guitar plucking amazes me every time I hear it.

10. Fighter-Christina Aguilera
This is my Power Song on my iPod when I'm running-it really makes me want to run faster.

11. Good Riddance-Green Day
A classic that reminds me of my uni days.

12. Dreaming of You- The Coral
This is an acoustic version of when The Coral were in radio 1's live lounge- it's simply perfect!

13. Use Somebody-Kings of Leon
My only recent track in my top 20. Love listening to this early when I'm driving to work.

14. Wouldn't it be Nice-The Beach Boys
This song reminds me of my husband and I when we first started dating-first heard when watching '50 First Dates' and it fitted us perfectly-aww!

15. Iris-Goo Goo Dolls
Another classic! Perfect when they played this live at V Festival a couple of years ago.

16. Bubble Toes-Jack Johnson
An older Jack Johnson track before he went fairly mainstream-his best song in my opinion.

17. Feeling Good-Muse
A rocky take on a classic. You should listen to it, Muse have covered this song very well.

18. Hey Ya!-Andre 3000
Love this song-very summery and upbeat. I also loved Will Young's acoustic version.

19. Do Your Thing-Basement Jaxx
Gets me up and running!

20. Ain't No Sunshine-Bill Withers
Another classic that chills me out.

Guess that's the end. A good thing to do-I wouldn't have picked out some of these songs to be in mytop20-amazing! Hope you've enjoyed my list, I've enjoyed compiling it.

Summary: An odd selection
