To make my list I listed like 130-140 songs, went down the line as to which one was better than which, and got this. The results even surprised me, since I never really think about which songs I like in what order. This is the closest to satisfyed Ill ever get, since I would spend days switching over and adding then removing songs as they come into my head, something like this is very fluid, which its why its tough to make it a solid.
