"Residents' Personal Favorites" is a public Spotify playlist compiled on July 1st 2020 by Homer Flynn of The Cryptic Corporation. The playlist features forty hand-picked studio recordings from The Residents' back catalog of "over 4000 songs", curated by the group themselves.
Effectively a personal "top 40", the selections - entirely studio recordings - range from tracks from their 1974 debut album Meet The Residents, through to their (then) most recent album Intruders.
The selection of forty tracks is likely a reference to their 1980 album Commercial Album, which also featured forty songs (five of which are featured in the playlist); it is not specified whether the tracks are arranged in order of preference.
