The top 8 are all flawless classics that pretty much could all top this chart at the flip of a coin depending on the day of the week and the mood I'm in. The next 11 have all topped (or would have topped) my personal chart, and the ones after that all top 3 until the bottom 10 which I like but dont rave for. :)
