The granddaddy of them all

HELLO READERS!

I finally compiled the list of my top 100 favorite songs of all time. A lot went in to making this list, it took way more thought than I had previously imagined. Special thanks go to Calvin Conklin who gave me the idea, and you can read his cool blog (that is CLEARLY a rip off of my own) here.
He apparently has 2 blogs so I guess you can look at the other one too.


Without further adieu, here they are!
