Ik was benieuwd hoeveel songs ik spontaan zou kunnen opnoemen. Een leuk spel om met vrienden te doen als het regent op de camping. Vanuit de songs van één artiest of groep komen er... More > vanzelf meer. Via Abba, Beatles, Rolling Stones en Queen bijvoorbeeld, wordt de lijst snel langer en langer. De Top 2000 van Radio 2 heeft echter een heel andere volgorde dan ik zelf voor mijn Top 2000 zou wensen. Uiteindelijk kom ik door analyse van “wat vind ik nou echt van elke song” tot mijn Top 2000. Songs die ik ken, waarvan ik de artiest ken en stukken melodie of tekst naar voren kan halen. Songs die ik dagelijks met mij meedraag. Duizenden songs. Een wonderbaarlijk gegeven, een wonderbaarlijke ontdekking. Ik denk dat het niet uniek is en veel mensen datzelfde hebben, zonder er zoveel aandacht aan te schenken als ik nu gedaan heb. Mijn Top 2000 staat in een keurig lijstje, dat gezelliger is geworden door toevoeging van 125 illustraties (foto’s) van ouderwetse platenhoezen.< Less
