I believed we’d do one thing very totally different at this time, simply to interrupt issues up. A totally off-topic matter. I’m stealing this concept from one thing I noticed on social media. The concept is fairly easy. Simply record your 20 favourite songs (of all time). However to make issues fascinating, there’s a catch. You may’t use the identical band or artist twice! (So for those who decide Hey Jude, you may’t decide any extra Beatles songs)
My record is beneath. I began with my favourite bands/artists (specifically ones that have been at one level my favourite band) and tried to select my favourite of their songs. I didn’t need this to take eternally, so each time I used to be caught deciding between a couple of totally different songs, I all the time simply went with my first intuition and moved on. Even then it nonetheless took a very long time and my record of honorable mentions was lengthy. I have a tendency to love all kinds of varieties of music however this gorgeous properly represents what I favor over others.
I did this train with a few of my mates from faculty and we created a shared playlist on Spotify. The enjoyable half about that was sampling kinds and artists that I knew about however didn’t spend plenty of time listening to prior to now. The transition from “Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini” to “Grasp of Puppets” is jarring let me inform you. All in all it was plenty of enjoyable. I like to recommend it!
