I decided to create a list of my favorite songs. The list kept growing until it reached its current number of 240 songs. These are largely in order of preference, although it was hard to make a decision on some of these. Feel free to read through them and comment. Also, I’m sure I left some good songs out, so feel free to recommend songs you feel should have made the list. Cheers!
