  there's enough of the Big Mick to go around hahhaha.

thanks...  I'll be fiddling with my list in the days to come... sort of an off the cuff list to start.. with  songs that came directly to mind.. I'll add and move things things around. I'll let you know when I'm happy it .

Instead of listing all the individual songs of MDK, I'll just list the live version of the whole album. You dig, Itsy? Live tracks count?

Personally just to avoid confusion with list changings and such I will just not post my list til near the deadline so any changes I will make won't be seen. Just seems easier for everybody that way.

Micky nice to see Deja Vu there. Ahh! Glad by Traffic, since some few weeks I discovered that you were a great fan of them.

Glad is an excellent song, and amazed to be in YOUR #1 some clappies

Dude. Fun. The inherently human thing of always listing things. Seeing which song most people like. Getting mister moreitsy to keep his hands off himself for a summer. Geeting people to say "ooh, is that your number one song, that's so cuuute!!".

But mostly just for fun.
