Is it simply because he feels that these are the songs that have stood his personal test of time; or is it because (he feels) music was simply better 15-20 years ago; or has he become less song-orinted and more album oriented as he's got older; or is there some sort of law of diminishing returns at work that makes it more and more difficult for a song to have the same impact on us as we get older and ....(less receptive and easily impressed / more jaded and cynical?); or.... wot? Any thoughts / theories?

I think I'm an old fart really, Stew. I just love old punk, pop soul and reggae and whilst there's masses of good stuff around now, not much of it would displace anything from my list. (Sugababes got in tho!). If anything music is more important to the 41 yr old me than it ever has been, but it's hard for *individual recds* to have the same impact as 'Uptown Top Ranking' or 'Shot By Both Sides' did when I was 16. So I suppose I *am* less easily impressed. I don't think I'm more album-oriented tho.

*clears throat*

that was pretty tough. the list is a blend of representation of sounds (glowworms, grey stripe and lizard point cover about half of my album collection) and favourite individual tracks (sky was pink, hale bopp and computer algebra take up way too much space and dont represent anything, but they had to be in there)
