Encouraged by my children I recently started a blog:
http://musicandsportscard.blogspot.com
In it initially I will me listing my top 1230 songs in order in groups of 25 with comments as well as offering comments on my graded sportscard and non-sportscard collection and the graded sportscard industry. Please feel free to chime in.
I remain a big supporter of PSA and expect to continue to post periodically on the CU Set Registry message boards.
Happy Holidays to All.

Okaayyy....
I think it's a pretty cool blog, I love reading lists like this. Can't wait to see the cards get added.

As soon as I can figure it out I will scan some cards for the blog.
At least I will promise some card postings soon....but perhaps not as controversial as I usede to post.
Hammered,
I think that music and what you like is a personal thing. Maybe I am influenced by the looks of the three girls....and its not like the song is in the top 1,000.
I really like the Bangles who have a song in my Top 50.
As you will see if you follow it, there is a tremendous variety.

I don't know if I could even rank 100
And Baby Got Back would make my list
Believe it or not, this is my 5th edition done over a 3-year period. I started out at 750 but I kept thinking of songs I liked. Now I am at 1230.
I think Baby Got Back should be higher

I see some of these songs and say "Man, I'm thrilled that there is 1,200 songs better than this. In fact, I'm surprised the number isn't double." With others, I am scratching my head as to how they're ranked so low.
Besides personal preference -- any thoughts into your ranking algorithm?
I reread Billboard's book on all the songs ever to make the Top 100 in any week 1955-2007 each time. My kids alert me to new songs. I always have a radio going in the car and I have 1,000-plus albums, 8 tracks, cds to refer to. There is a wide diversity of style and time period and recently new wave bands from the 80s are increasingly moving up the charts.

No way I'm going to try and rank those
As a flip side to this topic, every Friday on my Facebook page, I do "Terrible Music Friday". I have a twisted appreciation for truly wretched music. So far, I've done 5 entries:
November 5 - Not quite sure of the artist & title - Link
November 12 - Dolly Parton does "Stairway to Heaven" (kudos if you make it all the way through - I never have) - Link
November 19 - Mariah Carey making an attempt at "Bringin' on the Heartbreak" - Link
November 26 - The OSU Fight song, in honor of UM/OSU weekend - Link
December 3 - Carl Lewis singing "Break it Up"; I swear, you absolutely HAVE to watch the whole thing - Link
I've got enough entries to last well into January already picked out.
