Searching by year, artist, title has given me a new appreciation for the book. As far as his subjective lists, they are different. He has a slightly different perspective being born in 1977. Like he said, if we don't like his lists, we should make our own. Duh! That's what we've been doing our whole lives.HERChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00361888365133381438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680544609348773817.post-22074461724672291762015-09-21T02:11:48.859-07:002015-09-21T02:11:48.859-07:00Herc, after reading the book (it took me a couple ...Herc, after reading the book (it took me a couple hours to skim it) I had the same conclusions as you. I did enjoy the "cover tunes" list as it helped me add a few that was missing from my own "Covered By the 80's" playlist. Like you, I also was concerned with his best and worst lists - especially since some of my fav 80's tunes were on his worst (but then again it was a personal opinion - so I'll cut him a little slack). The format in columns would have been much better (as both you and he noted) - however I think the ebook would have been either shorter using that format. Still, it would have been nicer that way.Martin Maenzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640466353011569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680544609348773817.post-83267051560204625082015-09-14T07:11:14.786-07:002015-09-14T07:11:14.786-07:00At first I thought this piece was about "The ...At first I thought this piece was about "The Book Of Lists", easily one of my all time favorite books in my pre-team years. Perhaps it began with loving Casey Kasem's radio shows, which lead to "I can make my own random Top 10's." Then I read and was like "wait, this is about an all new book." Right on. Adding to my list.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02384420662405369651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680544609348773817.post-52834204115680205492015-09-14T04:49:16.688-07:002015-09-14T04:49:16.688-07:00Winnerwinnerchickendinner!!!!Winnerwinnerchickendinner!!!!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004375650529185768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680544609348773817.post-68859746337679067962015-09-14T02:14:23.285-07:002015-09-14T02:14:23.285-07:00Herc, hmmmm sounds interesting.
