Definitely up for this

But there's 1000 songs being ranked so here's going my favorites don't STILL get snubbed

There will of course be a variety of favorites of mine as it is a personal project in a way but... I have taken a large majority of songs from a pool of the most popular or mainstream songs from each decade.

I will say that one of the main things I look for in each tune is whether or not it holds interest in a couple ways. Such as "do I want to listen to the whole thing", "am I compelled to sing or hum along" and even "does it get stuck in my head" etc.

As far as stacking the songs, here is the scorecard I am using. (Notice that I am not using "Top" list statistics to generate a score)

-------------------------------------------------------------|
[The Beat] = .......... 0/10
This will represent the overall rhythm of the song.

[The Hook] = .......... 0/10
This will represent how likely it is that I listen to the whole song if it popped up on the radio.

[The Memories] = .......... 0/10
This will represent how much the song invokes personal memories.

[The Message] = .......... 0/10
This will represent the message of the song or the difficulty of understanding it's meaning.

[The Stickiness] = .......... 0/10
This will represent the likelyhood that the song will get stuck in my head when I hear it.

[2nd Opinion Bonus] = .......... 0/10
This will represent my wife's rating. (She wanted to participate as she is a big music buff)

[Video Bonus] = .......... 0/10
This will represent the awesomeness of the video attached to the song. (I will do my best to find as many official videos as possible)
