VA - Desert Island Album, Readers Poll Song Choice (A Butterboy Compilation) (10 x CD's)

READERS POLL 2 DESERT ISLAND SONGS

VA - Desert Island Album, Readers Poll Song Choice (A Butterboy Compilation) (10 x CD's)

On 4th July I posted a message to readers of this blog to post there favorite Desert Island Albums and Choose a song from each of those albums. The responses concluded on the 19 July.

Firstly, let me say Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. I am truly grateful to all of those readers who participated and contributed their choices in the Readers Poll No2. Your selections make for a  wonderful listening experience.

It could not have been an easy task for many of you. To reduce a life long listening to music down to a single choice is near impossible.  For me, I struggled as there is so much music I explore, always finding new and wonderful music. I think maybe in the future we can do this again for a particular decade or year. (I can hear the minds ticking already.)

I am now pleased to present the 230 great songs that were submitted. Amazingly there were only a few duplications. The diversity of artist and genres is wonderful. To categorize these tracks into genre or year or musical style was so difficult and was abandoned by me. I have listened to all these tracks that way and have found it very enjoyable. I like listening to eclectic music. I hope you will be happy and surprised by the sound of the 10 CD's that were generated. 

(Previously I suggested I would create a link for every album from this compilation.  As it is a mammoth job copying and tagging each album, I may do this at a later date.  The albums total 30Gb of files. Thanks for your understanding)

For those who are interested in Stats you will some them at the end of post.

Here are your VA - Desert Island Album, Readers Poll Song Choices. Enjoy!
