There are some brutally obvious holes in this list. It's no easy task reducing myself musically to one CD. My life could easily be a double album. But I do feel that it gives an accurate view of who I am musically. I hope you enjoy it. If you're not familiar with a song, you can play it in the widget (except for the Beatles tracks, which I'm guessing you all know).

Why "On and On and On" over any other ABBA song?

Good question. Here's why: #1 - it's catchy. #2 - read the lyrics. They're pretty amazing. ABBA trying to be sort of political, with the answer being "Keep on rockin' till the night is gone"

Man, such an awesome compilation!

I'm rather scared of how this project is going to affect my bank account...
