I'll do it later, I'm embarrased about my top artists and stuff.

Don't be. It's not like we know you personally, so there would be no need to get embarrassed about it.
Besides, I have quite a lot of artist I'm ashamed of in my top 20. For instance Mindless Self Indulgence, Rammstein and KMFDM.

but MSI and KMFDM are good, I like MSI it's fun, and I listened to Rammstein all the time when I was like... 16 (quite a while ago), I liked their first two albums, haven't followed them since then.
 
I don't use last.fm at the moment but I'll link to it later perhaps, when it's up and running...

What I mean is that I'm still embarrassed about having so many plays invested in those three. Mainly because I grew out of them, and hardly listen to them anymore.
They give a false impression of my musical tastes, that's why I'm embarrassed about it. However I don't really care if people who I will probably never meet see them, as long as they don't get the wrong impression. (which I doubt, since there are artist I would be far more embarrassed about if I'd listen to them)

I have over 100 Lady Gaga plays. I have more Lady Gaga plays than I have Sunn O))) plays.
 
On that note (directed at the thread), my least favorite thing about last.fm is how they rank artists based on plays. For example, The Beatles. I have 722 beatles plays with an average of 2.6 minutes a song. One of my favorite bands, Isis, has only 380 plays, but the song average is 7.3 minutes a song. This is a fundamental problem, because having 60 Sleep plays is equivalent to 1500 beatles plays.
 
I also realize that there is a "plugin" that allows this, but it should be an option to see top artists in time scrobbled over tracks scrobbled.

I agree. And you'd expect that with all the listening data they have I wouldn't be too difficult to determine track length.
A display showing the amount of minutes someone listened to an artist would be preferred.

I'm sorry if I'm pulling a dead thread out of the abyss, but I wanted to share this:
