I want to enlist the help of the RPF to test something I heard a while back on the radio.
I was trying to catch a sports score in the car and switched over to a local Sports Radio station in the middle of the day (that I don't usually listen to). There was an afternoon 'team' of guys and girls doing the regular sports/general theme show.
The main DJ was going on-and-on that it was IMPOSSIBLE and/or VERY DIFFICULT to narrow down all the songs that you love and make a list of your THREE All-Time, Greatest and Most Favorite Songs.
He said that it was just too difficult because with music we just have too many favorites to rank them and establish a Top 3. This radio group had been given the challenge about a week prior and all of them expressed that they either had not been able to decide on a top 3 or just couldn't narrow down their favorite songs enough to even really make a list at all that they said were their absolute top 3.
So my challenge is: Can you list 3, and ONLY 3, songs and say they are your all time favorites, ranking them above all the other songs you've ever heard in your life ?
And when I say your top 3 songs, I mean if you were stranded on a deserted island with a broken ipod that could only play 3 songs for the rest of your life you would want these 3 to be those songs. You would hold these 3 songs up before your friends, family, god and country and declare them as your all-time favorite top 3 songs ever.
To be valid you have to abide by the following rules:
1. List your top 3 favorite songs.
2. DO NOT list more then 3 songs.
3. DO NOT list less then 3 songs.
4. DO NOT say 'Anything by this artist'.
5. DO NOT say 'Anything from this album'.
6. DO NOT say 'Anything from this type of music'.
7. DO NOT say 'These are my top 3, but these were almost the top 3'.
8. You get the idea.......
Can you list your Top 3 songs of all time, or is it impossible ?
