My mother LOVES "My Humps"-- she is 65 and into the Black Eyed Peas!
Unfortunately, she does not have digital music.
And I somehow have "Eyes Without a Face" stuck in my head
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
And I somehow have "Eyes Without a Face" stuck in my head
I sense definitional confusion.

In my efforts to do more and more and more dissection of my music, I started 2 new playlists on iTunes last night based on megan's playlists.
Bodies
Cities/States/Countries
In the process, I corrected genre on several songs. (David Bowie doing Peter and the Wolf with the Philadelphia Orchestra is NOT Rock) My largest obsession remains ranking songs though, I am woefully behind in the task though, with less than a 1/4 of the songs ranked.

I can't even think of ranking. I get really good at categorizing for a while, but then put it aside and essentially have to start all over again. My work playlists at least ensure that I listen to a variety of stuff.
Msbelle, I have most of my lists (which are usually about 50-60 songs) in Word format if you want some ideas:
Summer Wages: Songs about summer
High School Musical: Songs from 1981-1985
Stickshifts and Safetybelts: Songs about cars and driving
Groundhog Day: Originals and their covers
March Madness: Songs that reference insanity
April Showers: Songs about rain or with rain in the title
May Flowers: Songs with flowers in the title
Color Me Shocked: Songs with colors in the title
Eight Days a Week: Songs with days of the weeks in the title
No Lawyers or Guns: Songs with money in the title
Rikki Don't Lose That Number: Songs with numbers in the title
A Place for My Stuff: Songs with place names in the title
A Royal Pain in the A**: Songs with royal titles in the title
Body Language: Songs with body parts in the title

Ranking started as a way to keep track of songs I didn't like when listening to new stuff out and about on the iPod. I rank those with a 1 and then delete all the ones when I re-synch. Then I wanted a favorites playlist that auto updates, so I started one that would pull all 4&5 stars and started ranking those songs while on random play with the iPod. The it seemed logical to do something with 2 & 3. 2s are what I call cusp songs. I have that as an auto playlist also and everyso often give it a listen and decide if things move up to a 3 or get cut. 3 is the baseline for keeping a song. Some things don't get ranked like the rest: holiday music, relaxation stuff - and there are lots that do not get pulled to the favorites playlist: jazz, classical, children's, holiday.
