Thanks to everyone who participated! I would love it if the results of the survey were discussed in the comments section below. The next artist in the Desert Island Mixtape Music Project is...David Bowie.

Feel free to discuss the results of the survey. The most surprising this to me was the variety of the songs. It is a real interesting study into the likes/dislikes of music listeners. There were some songs that I had never heard which makes this project more than worth it.

I've never heard of many on the list either, including "Here, There and Everywhere", which rated pretty high.

Great start Adam!
