Music Playlists
I venture to say that no two musical playlists of any two individuals are completely the same. This is probably because one's musical preferences are usually a reflection of one's character, and hackneyed though it may sound, no two characters are ever completely the same. I am willing to bet that no one I know has both songs Be True to Your School (The Beach Boys) and A Lack of Color (DCFC) on their playlist. Or Better Man (Robbie Williams) and Eat Yourself (Goldfrapp). Conversely, it is probably easy for you to quote two songs from your playlist and I don't have at least one of them.
But a playlist does more than reflect one's character. It reflects one's life history as well. If I hadn't been in the band for 4 years I wouldn't have gotten to know many symphonic pieces, including the one below. There are far better pieces but youtube has its limitations.
Sometimes makes me wonder if I would ever like the songs I do if I didn't have the experiences I had.

No definitely not. Or perhaps you may like the same song but in a different way. A song is like an emotional touchstone, tailored and unique to each one of us and arrived at in ways I will safely say are never quite the same as the next person.
Doesn't sound very good actually. I prefer the version that you had.

I do not have 'Be True to Your School' but I have all other three. Too bad no money is involved in this wager.
