#(in my document the playlist - sorted in chronological order - doubled spaced goes to page 19)? but then the rest

I just opened my document of my women of classic rock playlist and seeing it again is like...ah, yes, the project I will literally never finish because there is no way possible that I will become aware of every single woman who ever contributed to rock music history. But it's a great idea! Just one that can never be fully realized.
Obviously that doesn't mean I'll ever give up on it, though, hence why I opened it for the first time in over a year to add new artists/bands I just learned of today.
Say what you will, but the perfectionist in me says 'If I put out a playlist that's "unfinished," no one will notice or give a shit if I add more songs/bands/artists later on.' So it has to be "finished" before I ever officially share it because I don't expect anyone to ever give it more than one, singular glance, if that. The point, anyway, isn't even really to make a playlist that people will listen to frequently, anyway - the point is to compile a thorough resource to introduce people to new-to-them bands and artists (or re-introduce them to ones they haven't heard or heard of in a long time), but the playlist only defines these artists and bands by a singular song, so if they catch listener's attention, then they have to go and find more music by these bands and artists. It's only meant to be an introduction! But a meticulous thoughtful one. That's what I'm trying for, anyway.
#crystal visions of lilies in the valley#it's over 22 pages btw. the playlist is like...double spaced though so I guess it's like 9 pages#(in my document the playlist - sorted in chronological order - doubled spaced goes to page 19)? but then the rest#is notes and links to more bands and artists that I have yet to integrate into the playlist because I need to do more research about them#(which also means I actually need to listen to them. LOL)#oh also those 19 pages only go up to 1988. I have an entire page of 'notes' (single spaced) of songs to add from 1989-1999#which is where my list is gonna cut off because I'm a 2000s+ hater (just kidding that's just too much work for lil' ol' me aka I'm lazy)#also: other people have already made awesome playlists of women in music from 2000-present so I don't need to steal their thunder#(actually I am just assuming that. I don't know if I've seen specifically playlists from the 2000s-present but I've seen general ones)
