Daily Blogs!

Place for me to rant about stuff, put in links and other interesting tid-bits I might come across during the day. This is not a focussed blog, will be posting anything and everything (don't quite know how?) that comes to my mind.

The Best of 700 MB (English)

I hope you listen to music, because here's a task for you:
 
Recommendations are now invited for the best of the best of the songs.
 
I'm compiling a Best of 700 MB CD-R that will have the all time favourites. Please limit the selection to English songs only. All genres are acceptable.
 
As a benefit to you, I'll send over a copy if you spare me a CD. (Conditions apply: You must have officially bought a CD that has the songs. Yeah, right!)
 
Comment your recos away...
