Hey, please try to complete this list. Perhaps the 'abida-method' works for you? First put the songs in different groups, then rank them within those groups.

Seeeee

You *can* do it

One song is MISSING from your list, though. Same goes for Adiba. For both of you it appears to be No Time For Tears.

So, to all other people who plan to post their lists over here: are you all going to post incomplete lists and then wait for me to urge you to post a complete list?

(9 full lists now)

I do. It won't be in the top of my list, but I certainly don't dislike it.

I do, when I get round to compiling my list.

Stats-freak, can we please have an idea of when the deadline might be? Just an approximation... nothing definite. Wouldn't like to miss it.

PS: I've said it all before I'll say it all again: I L-O-V-E The Sound of The Atom Splitting. Yep, I've been blessed with fantabulous taste

ANd may I say, it *will* be high on my list.

Lol, I'll be the judge of that!

Show me your list and I'll show you mine!

Certainly not before the end of this month. Compiling such a massive list is something that takes a lot of time. I prefer people to take their time, rather than to rush this topic. I'm hoping for at least 40 lists, actually...
