Playlists, please share them Options Rating

I'm going to try this topic at HF, see how it goes.

We remember making our own mix tapes, often confined to 60 or 100 minutes, then CDs came out and we had to limit them to 74 or 80 minutes, now with the mp3 players and the music libraries, our playlists can be any length at all. So what I would like to see from folks who are into playlists, is to see what you guys like. No limitations as to type of music (any language, any genre). Can be any theme, your favorite party list, driving list, workout list, remix list, dance hits, sad songs list, any theme at all! Please, please do not spam this thread, and please do not make requests here as this is Chit Chat, thanks. (If anyone uses iTunes and needs to know how to export their playlists to text or html files, I can help you with that)

I think this one was my first playlist that I played on the radio at HF, a rather fun oldies list for me:

[Talaikya]

Another one that features mostly duets, one of my dreamy playlists.

... and here's mine... the first of many Dreamy ones I am hoping to build. This one's Pehla Nasha Pehla Khumar. I took it for a test drive last night at HF. Suggestions are most welcome*

23 & 24 are the ones I didn't get to play (got booted off HF) - just in case my listeners were wondering

Ofc this is going to be a work in process forever, all my play lists are Deewz a question... how do you order / do you order your playlists? Mine are chronological for example. I feel maybe the music flows better then... from era to era as it were? Not that I can tell, don't have that fine tuned a ear

*The promise of a place like HF is we can pool our resources and accomplish more than we would have individually, now if only ...

As usual, a beautiful name for a lovely playlist, thanks so much for posting it. Sorry I missed the test drive because some of my absolute favorites are in your list
.
I'm sure I posted the lyrics for Zindagi Bhar Nahin Bhoolegi - definately belongs here (if not will make sure I do, as they are tagged to my song files)....... you asked how I arrange, what order, just like that.... For example, the haseen shaam/raat ones would be grouped together in my playlist - we are thinking along the same lines.

Time period is irrelevant if the song fits the mood. But I do lean towards the chronological as well, but only sort of.

Always enjoy your posts!!

Your list reminded me of a few other songs, I'm stuck on the night aspect, lol, sorry:
Shaam Dekho Dhal Rahi Hai - Anjaan Ha Koi
Suhaani Raat Dhal CHuki - Dulari
Yeh Shaam Mastaani - Kati Patang
Woh Shaam Kuch Ajeeb Thi - Khamoshi
Parbaton Ke Pedon Par Shaam Ka Basera Hai- Shagoon (Shagun)
Huyi Shaam Unka Khayal Aa GAya - Mere Hamdam Mere Dost
Rang Aur Noor Ki (and then of course that leads to tandems, hehe) - Gazal
Ab Raat Guzarne Wali Hai (Aajao Tadapte Hai) - Awara (Awaar)
