As I am wont to do, I took on an idea that had legs for a while, and then derailed rather unceremoniously when I just ended up being distracted. My Album A Week idea made it a glorious 7 weeks and then stalled out. I think I just hit a stretch where I was excited for some new releases that I knew were coming out when I started the idea, and once I had those in my possession, the excitement over new releases wained, and thus an Album A Week died.

ANYWAYS, I want to semi resurrect it, but on slightly different terms. I am going to try and scoop 8-10 single songs per week via iTunes and maybe eMusic, and the songs I buy are going to largely come from some “greatest songs” lists out there. I really want to backfill my music collection with great songs and classics. Too many times I find myself skipping over 20 straight tracks in my iPod, which tells me that there is a lot of filler in between the killer in my library.

Some of the lists I want to work from are:

Rolling Stone - 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time

VH1 - Greatest One Hit Wonders

VH1 - 100 Greatest Songs From The Past 25 Years

Any other suggestions? How about a GREATEST SONG FACEOFF???!!!
