Top 500!

Just got back from a couple of days in York. On the last night we had a few drinks in a city centre pub. Very nice it was too. And whilst I stood at the bar waiting for my first drink to be pulled, I couldn’t help but listen in to a conversation being had by the two blokes next to me:

They had a print-out of guitar tab for a song (annoyingly, I couldn’t see what the song was, although I think it would diminish the tale somewhat, rather than enhance it, if the song was actually known) and the chord progressions on the print-out were being complimented. Then one of the men said that he didn’t actually know the song. And the other one replied that it was a beautiful song, and was definitely in his “top 500”. And I thought it was pretty amazing that he seemingly had a top 500 song list in his head. Then thought that the song couldn’t have really been that good if it had just made the list, and so was at number 478 or something.
