My head hurts from trying to make decisions based on which sets of albums is better than the others.

If you're interested, I'm willing to be the commissioner.

I don't actually like that because I think more people are familiar with albums than with songs. If we kept it to well-played Top 40 radio hits, then it would be boring. If we go to obscure B-sides, then it would be impossible. What would be interesting is to make a mixtape but you HAVE to include songs which can be listened to and/or freely downloaded. That is, from the artist or label webpage (not illegally or possibly illegaly).
