I want to take you on a journey through my evolution as a music fan, from the days as a young kid discovering music for the first time, to my time as a teenager, eagerly anticipating Total Request Live every afternoon, to my diving headfirst into older music as I got older myself, to the discovery of modern music that pleased my ears, all the way to the present day. Admittedly, it's not a complete journey, as there are distinct periods of time that are missing in this rankdown, but hey, got to push enough to the side for a possible sequel, right?
Also, and I can't stress this enough, this is going to feel like a roller coaster at times, as we're going to swerve back and forth through time for this little journey. Okay? Okay.
Here's how this is going to go down:
- We're going to start by revealing the 40 songs, one by one. As I reveal the songs, I will explain why they are on this list and/or their importance to me on a personal level. I will also give everyone hints for the songs. One key note: While the majority of these 40 songs are rock or alternative-leaning, there are some surprises looming, so there's a decent chance that even non-rock fans might be interested in participating. Or, at the very least, I hope that winds up being the case.
- I likely won't take all that much time with the reveals. In fact, I'm so ready for this rankdown that I already have ALL of the reveals and hints written up, ready to post. This is the main reason that I decided that now was the best time to start this thread, because, if all goes well, it will only take me a couple of days to reveal everything. Of course, real life may intervene, so there's no guarantees that I'll be able to do this as quickly as I hope to, but the hard work is already done.
- After I reveal the 40 songs, there will be two different playlists posted: A YouTube playlist and a Spotify playlist. Some of these songs might prove to be difficult, in that regard, for geographical reasons, but we'll figure out what to do when we get to that point.
- Once all of that is completed, you will send your rankings (1-40, 1 for your favorite song, 40 for your least favorite) to me (that's Red, R-E-D...not sure why I'm spelling it out, but) via PM. The deadline is currently September 8th at 11:59 pm Eastern US. If the set deadline is a problem for some of you, please let me know. I don't want to step on anyone else's toes.
- If you're not tagged below, you're still more than welcome to participate! I welcome anyone to participate. Yes, even you, in the back.
The first song reveal will begin momentarily. Before we get to that, here's the first hint!
This #1 hit song from the 1960's is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential songs of all time. It was one of the top 10 songs on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The song shares its name with a fellow #1 hit from 1991.
