I thought I'd start working on this early December to give myself enough time to compile my end of year Top 50's. Originally intended as a Top 100 tracks of the decade, it soon became a Top 200 with loads of other fantastic songs knocking on the door that just had to be included. So, I decided on a 250 and stuck with that.

Completed on Monday, I've spent the last 2 evenings chopping, changing, re-jigging, adding, deleting. And finally I'm happy with the end result. For now..

..ah sod it SUBMIT!
