100 Greatest Songs Ever
Well it took me nearly a month to compose my latest list but I have to admit I procrastinated here and there. I finally got off my ass and finished this latest list. I admit it was a pain in the ass but for the most part it was a labor of love. I started off just going by singles but lets face it...singles aren't always as good as the other album tracks. This is what really held me up. I decided "fuck this shit" and decided to include non-single tracks. I also included a few covers because they were just too good to be left off the list. Enough with my ramblings. Enjoy!
