Thank for pointing out that these requirements are all over the place, I kept reading the tweet wondering how anyone could answer it. But I am also completely incapable of picking favorites most of the time so I’d have a hard time even just doing a “20 fave songs” list. I’m enjoying seeing the lists and what people like though!
I am fascinated by Welcome to New York making your list, it is not a standout in Taylor’s discography for me!
Totally. Something I noticed was that I experienced a strong opening-track bias. The joyous reaction I attach to many songs is the implication that I am about to listen to one of my favorite albums. That’s why I’ve got WTNY on there. Similar story for Stations and Dead Leaves and probably some others.
Definitely thought about it. It’s more of a slow build than I was looking for, and I was primed to go for one from Dear Science because for me it evokes fond memories of being broke and unemployed right after college.
I have so many questions. 20 is so hard. I'm thinking of making a list that leaves out obviousl choices. Like here's a list to get to know me, minus songs I play all the time

Nice list. Only comment I have is about TV on The Radio. How could you not go with Wolf Like Me?
