Taken out of a random sample of 2,103 tracks.

Embeds (star = artist is on the PA; only one this time):
Star Tillian - Moonlight Dancer:


Bob Marley - No Woman, No Cry (Live At The Lyceum, London/1975):


Manowar - Sting of the Bumblebee:


Black Pumas - OCT 33:


Skipped tracks:
Boris - Huge: This track appeared already
Renaissance - Mother Russia (Live at Carnegie Hall): This would have unanimously won
Boris Huge (again): It appeared again, apparently

I did various trials with my new selection process, using a code I wrote in Python and I have come to the conclusion that it is essentially completely randomized, unlike the biased media player samples. However, the same Boris track appearing twice made me realize this random sample is not technically a shuffle - A shuffle would imply that after randomly selecting an item, that item would be discarded, eg, a shuffle would be a random selection WITHOUT replacement. Since each track can appear again after being chosen, there IS replacement here, so the same track can show up twice. With a sample of 6 in a population of 2103, the chances of this happening are incredibly small (something like one in 200 thousand or so), but still possible. This is the only case of this happening in my several trials. Hence the quotation marks over the "shuffle"

Yes, Renaissance's Mother Russia would most likely won, and would have certainly get my vote. Of the song on the list, Tillian's Moonlight Dancer gets my vote.

Mother Russia is a masterpiece. Without it, I go for Bob.
