1. Love song
2. do it again

...(then all the rest of them, I seriously can't rank them, they're pretty much all "Eh, reasonably okay I guess" most of the time - see explanation below)

14. Feel the love
15. You & Me

I have such a complicated "Man this would have been such a good track if..." relationship with like 90% of these songs. I have the same top 2 and the same bottom 2 no matter what, but the rest of them shift depending on my mood and whether I've recently noticed some really good subtle thing about the melody or arrangement or something.

But for the most part, only the top 2 were, to me, well-executed from a production standpoint AND melodically solid - and they're astoundingly good. They're works of art, IMHO ("do it again" moreso, however I can't get past how unnecessarily long the repeating intro is, even if it is deliberate and has a point, so I had to knock it down one position). The rest of them, not so much.

And I find the bottom two downright juvenile (my then-8-year-old daughter put the "You & Me" chord progression together in Garage Band without ever having heard You & Me before, and with no prior musical experience. So yes, to me, "You & Me" sounds like it could have been written by an 8 year old. I absolutely detest that song.)
