With working from home remotely, I have a lot more free time and I have been listening to a lot more work. As such, I thought it would be a fun little experiment do something similar to the 1001 Songs To Listen To Before You Die project that Liam did, but more of me compiling my own personal list of what I thought the best songs of the years were. So I am going to go through various best of lists and websites (Acclaimed Music, Metacritic, and RateYourMusic mostly) to compile a list of my 3 favorite albums and my 8 favorite songs of each year. I already know there is going to be some years where picking 8 songs will be difficult (looking at the 80s...), so that may be a challenge. I'll also highlight some of the new artists that I never heard but was exposed to through my listens. I'll also arbitrarily grade the years. The goal would be to compile my own list of the 500 best songs of all time. Everyone is free to jump in with the fun. I am going to start at the year 2021 and move my way backwards. My goal is to get to the 1960s -maybe earlier! I will try to post one or two years a week. Feel free to play along at home and join me in my journey. If you wanted to do a little playlist like me, I'll add it at to the first post so everyone else can see. I have my now empty playlist, but each time I post a year I'll add my songs here or there.

We had a brief delay because my hubby was working nights. Enlightened up to episode 4 (this show is amazing by the way)

We bought these: @VerBlue Christmas

My nephew lost his parents copy of Mario Odyssey for a month.

Good Ones was the type of track you are leaving the club to go to bed and you are in line for coat check and you are at the front of 30 minute line but you abandon it to go to the dance floor and you order another round of tequila shots and it becomes 5am and you are at the afterparty and they don't let you bring your bottle of aspirin into the club because it could be G and so you decide you'll go home but the song comes on again and it's like "I guess I have to go in" so you ditch the aspirin and your shirt and it's a few hours later and it's now time for breakfast so you get McDonalds and in the restaurant they play the song but you are passed out so you miss it.

Two episodes in and this show is making me question existence.

Rina Sawayama and Charlie XCX teamed up for Beg For You. It samples Cry For You. Both songs are bangers. Charli XCX is what 2022 needs.

Seconded.

At this stage it's not particularly challenging for me. I have only lost once. I would like it if they had 4 or 6 letter words thrown in.

I actually listened to that on Friday and recommended it to my dad but I'll listen to their other album from 2020. Did you like Rise?

Not my cup of tea mate.

I'll be watching the new Australian Survivor season. We can jump start the old Survivor thread if you want million.

I actually did not love that mission. I enjoyed it, but not as much. My favorite of the new maps was the Berlin nightclub. Only because I miss nightclubs and dancing.

What should I listen too?

I enjoy the games but I wish there was one more thing you did. Hitman are just puzzle games where you do four main activities - interact with items, try to pick up clues about where people or items will be, kill/subdue individuals and wear costumes to explore the environmental elements. It is fun, but I find it somewhat shallow. I think if they worked out a dialogue system, the game would be excellent. I find exploring the areas interesting, but I always get disappointed at the assassinations because I find them shallow.

I presume backwards compatible with the PS1?

Me and the better half watched Hacks. It is fine. I'll probably finish up the first season but I don't know if it wants to be prestige comedy or turn your brain off comedy...

Anyone into retro consoles?
