I just finished making my list.

I completed one list that featured 40 songs that I like from the top of my head.

Then I made another list based on the 40 most played Madonna songs in my itunes library.

Then I took the 2 lists, whatever songs were featured on both lists, I added into a new list. With this new list I had 14 songs, so I went back to the remaining tracks left from the previous two lists and added in what felt right to me, leaving me with a satisfied top 40 list :)

I'm down to 93... I refuse to cut down! I refuse!

I think I'm gonna have to try Whoopiedo's approach and first create a list off the top of my head. That may help cut the "crap" (for example, hits I may be leaving in just because they were so huge, songs that are good but I don't connect to as much, etc).

ahhhhh

This was surprisingly difficult and daunting to do! But, I did it and submitted it to you, Whoopiedoo.

My Mathematical Strategy:

1. Made a list of all the M songs I like from each of her albums, and included non-album songs I liked (140 in total! Damn.);

2. I, then, made a list of songs that (a) are just average (relative to other M songs, of course); (b) I like; and C) I LOVE (99 songs I either like or love!);

3. From that list, I took the "like" and the "love" songs and, then, using a 1 to 10 scale, I ranked how I felt about each song;

4. I made a list consisting ONLY of songs rated 9 or above. There were about 60! From there, I had to cut about 20;

(To further differentiate, I made a sub-listing amongst songs rated a 10 - a list of songs that were 10+ (beyond perfection) - LOL! Those were 15.);

6. I included a list of only 10 and 10+ songs, and then added the best of the rated 9 songs underneath (the other 9's that didn't make it were demoted to 8's) and, VOILA! My Top 40 list was done. And, finally...

7. I added my comments to the top 15 "10+" songs.

And, that's it. :) Nice little excercise, there, Whoopie. Thanks for the idea!

Were we meant to write stuff about the songs on top of our lists?

I found the exercise quite easy. As remixes weren't allowed, I just thought if I were on a desert island and had to listen to just the album mixes, what songs would I go for.

It wasn't required, but It would have been nice if everyone could make a paragraph for at least one song.

When the list is revealed in a month, it will feature a write up for each song. It'll look cool, but that's how it was for the last top 40 the forum had years ago.

I can do some write ups when the list is compiled and you tell me what songs need them :lol:

How many people have voted now? More people need to get on it. Don't just stand there lets get to it!

20 people have voted so far. It's a good amount, but it would be better if we could get 20+ more.

If you feel uncomfortable PMing me, you can just post it here.

maybe once you get the top 40 from all the lazy bastards who do not have a life and enroll in such a predicament, you could post the 40 chosen songs that made the cut and then we could rank them ...now that we don't have a life we can go on with the pattern...lol
