Comment:
Yeah, I just finished coming up with my 500 favorite songs of all time. Pretty heavy task (I've been chipping away at it for a few years now), not to mention pointless. Anyway, I thought I'd clog up the Find a Mix list for the next day or so by listing it all out. This is just my 500 faves as of this moment, however. I expect it to fluctuate and change dramatically over the years. There's no way to truly "finish" something like this, so I just had to stop at some point and do a snapshot of what it looks like. Obviously viewers will find tons of songs they think are crappy, subpar, or in some way unworthy of being called a favorite anything, but every song on here has some special meaning to me; either that, or they just sound so damn ass fucking cool that they've taken on a sense of royalty in my heart. Now, time to rock 'n' roll...Feedback:
Good lord man... 500 songs?
I hope you were able to maintain a normal level of sanity.
I know I wouldn't have been able to.

Gosh! This is an ace idea too, and I admire you for actually going through with it. It must've taken/be taking loads of work. Good for you!
How did you judge which song(s) you liked best. What makes #1 better than #345. Do you have any set criteria or was it a random listing?
The ranking is partly what took me so long. Yeah, arguably much of it IS random, but I've done my best to determine that I like each higher song better than the ones below it. For example, all the songs in the 400s are definitely in a lower echelon than those in the 200s - the differences all being relative and not very significant, admittedly, but still, I made an effort...and the top 100 is absolutely in order.
Looks like this will take you a few decades, good luck. A great idea though, even if I probably never could get the motivation to do this.
Cool...thanks for the update.
OLD CROW MEDICINE SHOW!!! you get insane props for 'wagon wheel', also one of my favorite songs ever.
A fucking mad concept cos by the time you've finished unless you're a sad bastard the list should remain constantly fluent! Not meaning to be over critical; me & Gobi did a top 20 tracks of all time for each other some 5/6 years ago & if his 20 pics are the same (even though he's my best mate) I'd shoot the f*****. Still I admire the effort that goes into such a concept, peace, love, happiness - Cliff.
There's just something about it, but I LOVE "Caress Me Down" (so much more now that I've taken a yr of Spanish and understand more of what they're saying.. lol). And ROBYN!? Seriously, who else has he on their list -- you're awesome. She was totally the best one-hit-wonder song on the Much Dance 1997 cd I bought!
