The website you listed is teh sexists though. This amazing music is not just for 12 year old girls! 12 year old boys should experience the joy of emo as well!
What a great list. About one point:
"Many Christian institutions of education, charity, evangelism, and commerce are poorly designed to promote discipleship to Jesus."
I go to a school that rebels against this, and I am so thankful for it. They teach the shocking notion that the gospel is about God and not man. That Christianity is a lifestyle dedicated to serving God and finding pleasure in God rather than just a free ticket to heaven.
I think part of the reason the church focuses more on the "salvation-centric rather than discipleship-centric" gospel is because the latter isn't appealing to sinful man. "You mean I have to make God #1 in my life? I have to SUMBIT to Him? What!?" Very few really want that. We all want to serve ourselves. So churches feel that by making the gospel more man-centered, they will get more people in the churches and more proclaiming Christianity, and hey, having people in church counts for something, right? But the reality is, it would be so much better if the church today would present the true gospel, the gospel that makes God the center and gives all the glory to God. Because man doesn't deserve glory.
I was a failing Christian for a long time. Heck, I still am. And I won't truly escape that until I get to heaven. But I'm trying harder to keep my focus more on God, seeking to learn more about Him, seeking to serve Him in any way I can. Living for God and not myself is the most fulfilling life I can possibly have.
Mine is! Well, I think so anyway. I have been in actual webdesign for almost 2 years (and I currently own a "real" website) though, so that may have something to do with it. :P Myspace doesn't really have a template system... you have to use "hacks" for lack of a better word (most people use a premade layout or use a "myspace editor").
I cloned this list, btw. I think I watch even less TV than you do!
Why isn't Astral Projection - Aurora Borealis on the list? You even recommend downloading it in another list! Plus, it's an awesome song. I'm not a HUGE goa fan, but that's one I really really like.
Also, you have Dance 2 Trance - We Came in Peace on here twice, one at #7, the other at #367.. methinks you meant for it to be at #7.
Anyhow, this is a great list!

Then there are people like my dad who believe that because it's made with electronic gizmos, it can't possibly be real music. *eyeroll*
