The practice of buying certain books to show off to your friends has translated to iPods in what has been called "iPod snobbery" (registration required).
I guess I'm not totally picky about what I put on my iPod as long as it's music I like or stuff that was already on my computer when I did the whole conversion/upload to player. That means I do have the likes of Britney Spears (oh come one, you liked "Crazy" too!), N*Sync (old school "Tearing Up My Heart"), and ABBA ("Dancing Queen" is the best!) sidling up to The Smith's "Hand In Glove, Tori Amos' "precious Things", and the Von Bondies' "C'mon, C'mon".
Of course there's a seasonal dilemma of what to do with all the Christmas music I have on there.

I found the Barenaked Xmas album to be awesome, and it's still in the iPod.
Black Eyed Peas comes up a lot, and I had to get the new U2 album in homage to the great iPod ad they did.
Also - I had an aux input set up put in my car, so now I don't need a cd changer anymore - I have the ultimate music device.
