Favourite songs, vol. 0005

Notes and ratings will be found inside a ‘protected’ post released prior to this one. The password is ‘NTHGTHDGDCRTDTRK’. My explanation is, sometimes it’s annoying when you want to just copy and paste everything without all that extra garbage! Expect measured reflections on these songs there.

I was trying my best to be a purist for the first three volumes. The idea was to only highlight songs that are crazy-super-duper-crazy good. Somewhere along the way, I realized this meant the series’ title wasn’t appropriate, and thus, here we are: making lists of crazy-super-duper-crazy-good-but-not-so-crazy-super-duper-crazy-as-the-actual-crazy-super-duper-crazy songs. Not to suggest that some of the songs in vol. 0004 aren’t crazy-super-duper-crazy songs; it’s just an evolving format! Believe in me!

* Denotes playlist has unofficial upload (for one or more reasons), playlist has remastered version, info needs to be filled in, and/or info is so scarce or ambiguous, it’s hard to know for sure what’s right. (Apologies to everyone who knows how asterisks are supposed to work! For the sake of making it easier on myself (using my shit-vision card again, I know!), they’ll be preceding, perhaps even, indefinitely…)

‘(2x)’: A 2nd copy is there because YouTube playlists are hard to manage when they get this big! Didn’t bother adding the signifier where MV and non-MV version are purposely included.
