    Ya you could nearly double that with actual familiarization if you are anything like me. I am pretty brutal with some band names and songs.

I was having a think and thought I’d throw up 20 songs or so that have not featured in either list yet, put me down on the roster for a 100 list though, I should have time this week.

45

It is always encouraging to be told it is acceptable to listen to what you like to listen to anyway.

46

The forum can also expect Kremmen’s Krackers early this week. Possibly tomorrow.

47

It has captured the imagination of the board. Fucking narcissistic cunts

Every moment we log onto the INTERNET, we live the dream. We are somebody. We matter. We look in the mirror of our minds and see other people admiring our thoughts. We are special*.

I’m off to post up some pictures of myself looking popular on Facebook**.

*So special, gotta have some of your attention, give it to me.

**I do not post pictures of myself on Facebook.

Throw it up on this thread balbec and keep them all in the one place, better than having 14 threads of posters top 100s and @Sidney having to start a new thread for himself and Manuel.

I said I would put this in this thread as it was the original.

As discussed with @Rocko as lunchtime, what is this shite of only including one song per artist? If you like 20 Bob Dylan songs more than any other song by another artist, then surely you should put the 20 of them in?

My list my rules mate. I just wanted a bigger spread of artists and it made it more interesting for me than having 5 artists take up about 25 spots. For a few songs I just stuck them in as a nod to a band I liked.

57

It was a cracking lunch all told with @farmerinthecity explaining in detail his thought process and how he went about the task.

58

Fair enough.

You lucky bastard
