My 101 Favorite Songs (More Or Less)<\/h2>

You can thank Duke Egbert<\/a> for this one.<\/p>

Around the end of February\u2014before the world changed\u2014our recently returned compadre mentioned to the staff that he\u2019d created a \u201cfavorite songs\u201d playlist, set up in ranked order. He was further inspired to try to craft a column around the list\u2014and then asked if others on staff might want to do the same.<\/p>

Um, YEAH.<\/p>

Now, Duke was up front about the fact that he had originally set out to build a list of 100 or so favorite songs, and ended up with 131. Since a reflexive dislike of arbitrary rules is an inherent part of the Vault\u2019s character, it was only logical for us to approach this new feature in that spirit. As each writer\u2019s list is published\u2014a new one every other day for the next two weeks or so\u2014you\u2019ll find all sorts of variations in song count and general approach to list-building from writer to writer. If that variability offends your desire for neatness and predictability, I can only assure you most sincerely that we don\u2019t care. What we care about is the enjoyment each of us derives from the music we\u2019re sharing with you here\u2014and our wish that you share in that enjoyment.<\/p>

Thanks again, Duke. And off we go\u2026<\/p>
