I really tried to be sure that i covered all of the bases, but it is really tough when you decide to stop at 30 (hell, 100 would still be difficult if you do not BS your way through it). Glad you guys are enjoying it...I will be reviewing in return lol, so make sure those lists are in good order.

I am thinking about doing the top 40 in honor of when radio used to be good, and I'll have a list up for songs pretty soon. Glad you got a kick out of the list, be well.
