That was the first thing I thought of when I saw this topic.

Really? Because the first thing I thought about when I saw this topic was "Gee, I hope I get to read it now instead of 20 minutes from now"

Sometimes when I pull lists out of that list (which hasn't been updated in a while), I notice that it could use some alterations. But yeah, this was pretty easy.

Should we not post our lists here?

I think most of us are starting with the whole list and cutting it down to 20, rather than building it up to 20 from scratch. I just noticed this thread and quickly cut the list down to 54 songs, then picked off 9 that are definite top 20 songs. Now to decide which of the remaining 45 should also be in the top 20.

Yup. It's much easier that way. I got my list in to Dave yesterday, at some point between all the CPU errors. I was a bit surprised with how my list turned out, especially with "White and Nerdy" making it to the top. As I kept trimming it down and ordering them, it just kept winning out over all the others.

I went through my iTunes and copied all of the Al songs with five stars, and then narrowed it down to 20, and ranked them from there.

Oddly enough that one didn't even make my Top 20. I like the song fine, but there are at least 20 others I like more.

It certainly will be interesting to see how this all turns out.

Eh. I have nearly 6,000 songs in my library. I don't have the patience to rank any of them.

Why bother? We can just read your profile.

I'd say please hold off posting your full lists until the countdown is finished, or at least until all the songs on your list are revealed. If you want to post 3-5 songs at random from your list now as a teaser, that would be fine.

No thanks. I usually zone out after the first couple hundred songs on there
