As people who think about, talk about, listen to and make music, the most persistent question we encounter is: "What are you listening to right now?" Whether you're looking for recommendations, trying to get a feel for our individual sensibilities, or are just curious, we've compiled a list of all the things we're listening to this week.

This week, out of 110 total picks, unsurprisingly, Cee-Lo Green's latest ditty, the inescapably charming anthem, "Fuck You," appears on numerous lists. That seems to be the only consensus. Otherwise, we've all been listening to a bunch of different stuff this past week.

See our top spins below and then feel free to weigh in with picks of your own after the jump, so that we can see what you've been listening to and discover, perhaps, what we might be missing out on.
