It's the oldest meme on the planet. And yet, I've never done it for LJ nor seen anyone else do it.

This is it. The Top 32. They will never lose their place, ever. They shall forever be immortalized in the blood of my veins as the music to my soul. I didn't number it because there is no particular order or max amount, but this is it. It takes a lot to get added to this list. Not many do. There's many more that I love so dearly, but this is the creme de la creme of my musical preferences. If anyone rolls their eyes at Celine Dion, I'll give you the finger. As wank-worthy as she otherwise may be, that's a freaking a-maz-ing song. I've got some old classics worked in there too, you might see. They have endured the test of time and the test of being written before my birth, and worked their way onto the Top Tippidy Top Ranking anyway. I know all the words to every song on here. And if you think there aren't any words to Liste or Tchaikovsky, you just aren't listening hard enough.

Isn't Scarborough Fair just one of the prettiest songs ever? The way they overlaid their own voices many times to make it sound like a chorus, and the sadness of the words. And of course I've never heard any other singers who harmonized as well and beautifully as those two. They might exist, but I've never heard them.

I'm not really a huge fan of hers or anything, but that song is really great. I've never, ever gotten sick of hearing it, which says to me that I must really like it a lot.

That was the first Celine Dion song I'd ever heard, and her range just blew me away. I was sitting in the parking lot of the mall, staring at the car stereo in shock. I thought "The only other person on the planet who could sing that song that well would be Whitney Houston. And she'd break about even."

It really is. Although, honestly, it's really hard for me to pick just one favorite by Simon and Garfunkel. They have so many great songs, and I've been listening to them for so long...they're favorites of my mom as well, and she always used to play them when I was a kid, so I basically grew up listening to their music. I also love "Bridge Over Troubled Water," "The Sound of Silence," and "El Condor Pasa" (just to name a few).

Oh, she definitely has an amazing voice. No doubt about that. But the songs she sings...I usually end up tiring of them after awhlie (That song from Titanic, for example). But I'm always happy to listen to "It's All Coming Back to Me Now." :)

Me too. Both my parents liked them. I didn't like "Bridge" until much later though; when I was young I got bored wiht it, I think. Then about 3 years ago I heard it again, and I realized that it was really quite good.
