In that time, so many things have happened, not LEAST of which is the acquiring of a whole slew of new Concert and video footage via the internet explosion of YOUTUBE and Online Trading! So much “new” insight to the songs we’d already knew and loved, it was inevitable that some of the songs would move around on the list.
And of course, the BIGGEST factor is TIME itself. It’s been over 15 years since I last made the list, and my music tastes have changed and, hopefully, expanded, making me see all the music I’ve loved (and not-so-much-loved) in a new and appreciable light. Going through the list anew, I found many songs that I’d LOVED before have become milder, while songs that I once thought were only “So-So’ have moved up to become true favorites.
I guess that’s natural for just about any group you love. When you are first getting into them, everything is fresh and fantastic, and usually the latest acquisition is the “hot” item of the moment, but once you’ve had a few years to examine the artist’s body of work as a whole, you begin to see the ones that have stood the test of time and have become engrained in your heart.
Ahhn~ enough waxing philosophically, I’ve spent a whole week re-examining the tracks and a whole evening re-typing this list, it’s time to unveil the artifact! See the songs that have moved up, and moved down, and also take notice of the fact that those questionable tunes off of that zany SAMPLE BATTLERS TOKYO that were at the bottom of the list have not budged one inch over the years- there’s SOME THINGS that not even TIME can make better! LOL!
