One thing I definitely miss about the MySpace days (remember them?) was sharing music and playlists. I’ve always thought that one of the best ways to get to know people is through their Favorites playlist. At least for people that are really into music anyway. So- in that spirit, if you’re curious, here’s my favorite 180 songs. 🙂
Just songs. I’m excluding classical, ambient and movie scores here. That would be a whole different huge list. Also they’re not in order of importance at all. I try to group them by time period and genre to avoid culture shock. Although if they were in order of importance Echoes from Pink Floyd would be the first song.
