Der 'Ultimate Ranking Challenge', ja.

[Shaun]

Okay, so a lot of you, and I, are rather fond of ranking songs, artists and other musical aspects. And it's usually quite easy - asking for your top ten of one artist at a time, for example.

But I was asked the other day to rank my Top 50 songs of all time. I've done this before, a couple of years ago, and I found it extremely difficult. How do I, for example, differentiate between what would be No#49 and what would be No#51?

So I'll put the same challenge to you. I'm not asking that you base it on play-counts, and I'd rather you be honest. Often when I do it I pretend to put 'well-respected' songs very highly, even if I don't particularly love them.

So yeah, get ranking. ;)

I was actually using the conditional tense, but you could hardly blame me for not being certain of the gender of someone using the name of a woman in her 50s.

[Tom]
