Instead of a countdown, you could assemble a big list of 5-star songs, and then reveal them alphabetically.......?

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
I dislike the Bing Crosby/David Bowie monstrosity. Bing is pleasantly singing Little Drummer Boy then David overlays him with some stupid Piece on Earth shit chorus. I want to hear them both sing Little Drummer Boy or at least Bing.
For me, I also explicitly removed Christmas music from my 424 and **** list.

Obviously since it keeps being played. It's not that he sounds bad but he doesn't mix well with bing to my ears. Put this on my "Rock Lobster" list I guess.
I thought it was a great idea and works well (obviously since it's on my 500+ list). But I can totally relate to despising a song that others praise and the thing won't go away (like the original recording of "Feliz Navidad", which I hate).
I think I have another 2 or 3 holiday songs on my 700+ list.

My [step] daughters always singed it as police got my dad.
Love it. I'll have to start using that instead of the much more vulgar version I came up with: "Pa-lease **** my ****"

So....who gets to put the big compilation list together when everyone's done?
Someone will have to drive to Phoenix and force Wolf to do it. You're closest.
