I have a lot of things I need to get done by the end of the year, but all those things suck, so I did this instead. As with prior versions of this list, my methodology is based on my sense of time-weighted appreciation/obsession and is, as a result, both indefensible and unimpeachable. That’s a pretty neat combo if you think about it. I’m going in reverse order by fifty-song blocks, giving my dozen-or-so readers time to truly appreciate my work. I bet there’s something inexplicable and/or offensive for everyone!
