The Absolute Bangers Playlist WAS a living document designed to keep track of the additions to Wayne's Pandora playlist called "Absolute Bangers". The Playlist dates to July of 2019 and was originally created so that Wayne wouldn't lose his fucking mind when working in the office. Since its inception, the "Absolute Bangers" playlist has accrued over 140 different songs comprising 10 hours worth of music with genres ranging from hyperpop to death metal from a timespan of over 40 years worth of music. It is organized chronologically, with the first tracks added being at the top of the sheet, and the most recent additions at the bottom.
