Many posts ago, I shared that I was convinced that each person has a unique "Top 10" list of songs. I think that we can all agree that every person responds to a song differently based on their music preference. The next level of connection to a song comes from the memories and/or season of life associated with the song.
There are some songs that resonate with me today that would not have resonated with me 1 year ago, 5 years ago or 20 years ago. The opposite is true as well - songs that resonated with me 1 year ago, 5 years ago or 20 years ago do not always connect with me now.
With that said, a friend's status update on Facebook said, "I'm thankful for the person who told me about Pandora." I looked it up and now I am hooked.
Pandora is based on the music genome project and it attempts to bring together songs based on a complex algorithm that assesses aspects of the songs. The theory is that each song has its own DNA.
In turn, I would say that sets of songs (like a top ten list) have the complexity of combined DNA that must be unique for each person.
Is there anything out there that lets you put in your personal top ten list of songs and have it match up with others?
Would your top ten list ever be the same at any instant in time?
Let's start small, if you have a top 3 songs, then what are they?
