The longlist of songs went well beyond 500, but I’ve kept the list to this length because I feel like anymore would take forever to complete, and any smaller number wouldn’t feel complete enough. Reading reviewers I admire (some of which will be quoted in my entries at times) and applying my own analysis of music I hold in regard has been an important part of my own growth as a musician myself, and I often find reviews that take a very thorough look at the way melody, rhythm, harmony, structure, production and performance contribute to the merit of a piece of music to be helpful in setting my own goals within those areas of music-making. It’s a large project of course but one I’ve wanted to challenge myself to in order to show my own growth in understanding of what makes great music exceptional. I’ve always been inspired by the commitment so many on here have towards making lists be it from all-timers to end-of-years to the regular updating of weekly personal charts (the latter is astonishing to me because I barely feel like I listen enough new music in a year to make a personal chart of reasonable length) so I’ve been compelled to give a list of my own. I had already made one for myself to look at political news and post occasional opinions to about 5 people who followed me, but reconnecting with so many of the people I had seen on here (and occasionally fought with) as an adult in my early 20s has been a really enriching experience and I now consider many of the online community of this site to be lifelong friends.Įarlier this year I tweeted an announcement which may or may not have been influenced by some form of inebriation that I was going to deliver a complete list of my Top 500 songs of all time this year and picked this milestone of an anniversary as the deadline to start writing the list by. For a while I spent very little time on this particular site but found myself drawn back into the group of folks who post on here 2 years ago when I discovered half of them had Twitter accounts. In the 10 years since then I’ve gotten a degree in music from a polytechnic which I graduated from a year ago, played in bands, performed in barbershop chorus competitions in Las Vegas, came out as both bisexual and gender non-binary and exposed myself to an ever-increasing range of music and people to play and share music with. My tastes were just starting to reject the dodgy rockism that I had indoctrinated myself in and was still dominant of my male friends and classmates and it was quite cathartic in a way to be able to vent on a website that nobody had ever heard of to nobody who knew me personally about all the opinions I still couldn’t admit to the people in my social group for fear of ridicule. Granted, I was 13 and still very much at the age where nuance is impossible but was also in the middle of a really difficult year in my own personal life too.

Over here there was more of a community brewing as well as a less ugly colour scheme that made it much more visually appealing, plus the entries for songs and albums had their review sections filtered to show all the other English-language reviews on the portal and I got to see first-hand all the opinions I sharply disagreed with and began writing away hostile reviews about how the things other people liked sucked or why the things other people hated were good with the occasional ad hominem remark and a fair share of caps lock and exclamation points thrown in there.

It was also a pretty lonely site with not much on it besides said archives but lucky for me the site was also part of a portal to a bunch of chart sites for a whole load of different countries, one of which was for my neighbours and creator of the TV show Neighbours Australia.
That website was of course and had just updated its archives to include the entire history of single and album charts in my country of New Zealand until the year 1975 when the RIANZ took over the compilations of NZ’s music charts. I gave myself a terrible moniker that was a combination of my 2 then-favourite rock bands and immersed myself with the depths of the archives of chart history that the site had to offer. On this day a decade ago, my 13-year-old self registered an account on a little-known website that I had been lurking at for a while and what felt like a goldmine after having built up an obsession with music charts since I was a kid who’d religiously watch the Top 40 countdown.
