Seems like no one can be arsed to do one, I'd like to see @Happy Birthday Kreayshawn do one as well as all of those mentioned already.
the big question when you read these lists from people is always, will they go the autobiographical route, include and try to justify everything they’ve ever liked through sheer autobiographical pathos—or try to establish themselves as tastemakers with their own singular and eternal aesthetic vision.
:/I think only third could pull off the singular vision thing, but maybe I'll be surprised. Craner's was certainly idiosyncratic (and brilliant), but was it about defining an aesthetic? Version's was interesting, too, could only have come from Version. But only Third's seemed ideological.
Luka did some sort of 1000 song list in tribute to London but somehow it came and went and nobody not even he cared

i don't like singular and eternal aesthetic visions eitherI detest autobiographies. they are sort of fascist if you think about it hard enough. unending boredom inducing repetitions
of the cult of personality.
