I have so much TMBG music that it’ll be easy for me hear three or four songs in a row of TMBG music without any other band in there.

But during playback I’ll forward thru a song as soon as I remember it and have determined that I don’t want to listen it. This happens all the time. Except for one band. Whenever I hear the start of an Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark song I take my hand off the iPod and sit back (and usually sing along).
