In celebration of 25
years of my "Music Library" I completed a ranking of my
personal favorite 500 tracks. This also happens to be my
500th entry of my Music Library that began on September 24,
1982. In that time I have amassed 8,934 tracks among 1,099
different artists. In 2002, I created the "20 series" which
featured my favorite 200 tracks from the previous two
decades, however several older tracks prior to 1980
appeared. On '500', with a few exceptions, all tracks were
released between 1981 and 2007. Rankings are based purely
on personal taste, how the track stands up through time and
with repeat listening. This list is the outcome of over four
months work selecting from over 1,000 possible songs to come
up with this listing. On the far left column is
the ranking of my "20 series" from 2002. This is followed by
the current '500' position. The artist is listed first,
followed by the track title, year of release and (on the far
right) the year the track appeared on my Music
Library. There will be no "points"
given to any artist for appearing on '500'. My other "best
of" series ("Decade".."Year-End".."Best Of" and "20") all
had artists accumulating points for each track placed. This
is not the case this time. My Top 200 Artist rankings are
not affected by '500'. Assuming that I am still
adding to my Music Library in the coming years, I plan to
update '500' every five years, thus the next update
will be September 24, 2012. I have removed the link
to the "20 series" from my main page, but if you want to
refer to it you may find it here.. Below the '500' listing you will find how
many tracks an artist placed on the list if there are three
or more. The most popular years for track inclusion and
other items of interest pertaining to this
listing. Note: The 'Decade' series link has
been removed from the main page. The
series was created in 1992, to celebrate 10 years of my
music tapes. You can still find the link here.
