For a long time now, I've wanted to make a list of every song on the 6 studio albums (not including Prospekts March or The Blue Room or EPS etc.) and rank them. I finally had a couple of hours to kill, so here it is. Remember that these are all my personal opinions, but I'd love it if other people had a go or debated my choices!

For my list, may take me a little while to decide first :P

That'd be fantastic, Sparky! I'd be more than happy to write the article for you ;)

Lord this was tough, but I have nothing to do today so here it goes. (I grouped together interludes on MX, sorry if that screws up the song count, and also had to do top twenty because ten is two few and honestly they are nearly interchangeable :) )
