    Interesting, though our albums often colide, this list will be quite different to mine. I guess that’s to do with the transition to boring ass techno. Some songs I have no idea about, so I better check those out.

    Also I really like the variety, instead of it just turning out to be the best songs from the best albums.

    Also, too many videos!
