The whole point of me doing this is I'm hoping to see a few other lists where I can say "that person looks like they have similar tastes as me" and then see some of their listed songs that perhaps I haven't heard of. I am guessing there are a couple people on this board who would look at my list and say "that doesn't look bad" and at the same time not be familiar with a few of the songs.

Likewise, since I like a wide-variety of music I'd like to take from lists that I am totally unfamiliar with, too.


As soon as I got to about #18 it started getting really difficult to prioritize. For instance nothing from Sevendust made the cut. I like them a lot. Additionally even though on the overall whole I prefer alternative and heavy metal more than light sounding rock I'm surprised at how many soft, relaxing songs I chose. Moreover, if I had my 6 cds worth of collected classical music I think 1 or 2 of those songs would have made it, but as it is those are at my parents house and I can't recall what I'd choose from that.

Alright, let me have yours if you dare.
