yous is my favourite

Got to thinking about favourites today since i was strutting around to the new Beck album which is back in the Odelay style as opposed to the lower key Sea Change era. Anyway, i love Beck and he always makes any list of my favourite artists but i realised that i don't actually listen to him very much, nor Beastie Boys, Pixies etc... who are normally in the list. Does this mean that i still feel their influence strongly or has my taste developed and i don't need them anymore, or does number of plays equal importance? It's the same with films too, i've not seen Memento in ages, i'd forgotten about Rear Window until i happened to see it on ITV the other night. Maybe the memory of favourites is better than watching them over and over. In terms of plays, my favourite film would be dazed and confused since i can do all the dialogue (i did so this afternoon- i needed cheering up) but it's hardly a masterpiece of cinema...
