I hope after looking at the 64 songs that I have came up with, you will recognize the intense struggle I had to endure. Selecting 64 songs out of 170 great rock and roll tracks and soothing balads is no easy task. I factored in the Hipbase's opinions on songs, to gain an understanding of which will be the best 64 songs in the catalogue.
The Hip 64 event has been a tremendous success thus far. The response has far surpassed my expectations, as I had figure out about 50 votes per match-up. Seeing The members of this community double my original estimation, makes me feel proud of this community. I also appreciate your on-going support, andd genuine positivty towards this event.
I hope to make this event an annual occurence, so without any strong objection by the community, you can expect the '64 years to come.
To keep the competition fresh, I will initiate a relegation round after we have crowned the inaugural winner. If your favourite songs have not appeared in this 64, you will get an opportunity to push them into the competition next year. More information on this aspect will follow after we have decided a winner.

Well done Shane, keep up the good work!
