Ik ga hier gewoon een Saga Meter starten, gewoon om te kijken hoe ver ik kom.
Wie mee wil doen, doet lekker mee. Wie niet mee wil doen, mag een rondje rond de wereld rennen.

Het idee is om het op zijn Musicmeter's te doen. Ik pak dus per album de nummers die het vaakst zijn aangevinkt (blauw sterretje) als favoriet. Dan heb ik een fijn uitgangspunt. Vanaf dan zie ik wel weer verder.

Kleine noot: ik wilde eerst een grens van 10 stemmen om een nummer toe te laten in de eindlijst, maar gezien het aantal stemmen per Saga-plaat steeds meer daalt kies ik gewoon de bovenste twee van elke plaat. Wel noteer ik het aantal stemmen dus de nummers van platen met minder stemmen, zullen aldoende onderin de lijst terechtkomen.
