The BitTorrent Top-25 List: The Kids Love Their Simon & Garfunkel Bootlegs

Thanks to InfoFilter, we have a list of the top 25 most heavily traded BitTorrent files (it’s updated daily, though we like to check in on it every week or so; otherwise, it’s just Shakira, Shakira, Shakira). As always, the list is a strange mix of classic rock, Top 40, and blog-beloved acts–though it looks as though giant-sized, multi-artist collections (such as the Rolling Stone magazine comp) are growing more popular. Check out the top twelve:

1 The Rolling Stone Magazines 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time 2 Evanescence Discography 3 Outkast-Idlewild-2006-DPN 4 Red Hot Chilli Peppers – Stadium Arcadium 5 VA-100_Best_Film_Classics-6CD-2006-UNiT 6 Shakira – Oral Fixation Vol.2 [2006 Special Edition] 7 John Mayer – Continuum 8 Audioslave-Revelations (withcovers) a DHZ.Inc Release 9 Evanescence – The Open Door [CD+Vid+Cover][2006] 10 Christina Aguilera -Back To Basics[2006][2CD+2Vids+Cov] 11 The Killers – Hot Fuss 12 Bob Dylan

You read that last one right: Bob Dylan. Not songs or albums by Bob Dylan, mind you, but the man himself. Once you’ve completed the file, he’ll wander around your kitchen, politely ask if you have washroom, and call you “ma’am,” even if you’re a guy.
