My 100 Favorite Songs Of All Time

[RedStratocas]

Okay, In english class, we were talking about importance, and how hard it is to put things in before others. As a project, we had to list things in importance or favoritism. Like food, movies, shows, sports, or in my case, music. I didnt have to do this many for the project, but I found it interesting (and pretty hard to do) so I made it 100.

Now, just as a note, this is NOT exact. Some, as you can imagine, are hard to put in an order. So just because a song is behind another one, doesnt mean I like it less.

[BL!NKEY]

The problem with this is that like a week later you remember a song that you love but didnt think of it at the time.

Thinking of 100 favorate songs is hard to do all at once.

maybe if you made a list over the corse of 2 months then used that to put them in order.

[:dallsgreen]

60:: Seven Nation Army- The White Stripes

really?

[RedStratocas]

really?

Yeah, I used to love that song. One of the few songs on the list thats a very popular song. 60 isnt very high though

I actually did pick this out pretty carefully. I made sure I had some songs that I havent listened to in a while. Like 'Get It Faster' by Jimmy Eat World. I havent really listened to that song much in the past few years, but that was a major turning point in my music taste. Thus the high spot.

I do know what you mean though, I'll probably think of a song I missed, but definatly not one that would go in the top 50 or so. From 51-100 were songs I didnt deliberate as carefully.

And great list btw Strato, some blinders on there.

[RedStratocas]

Great songs, acoustic version of everlong is better than the original though.

Someone else said that too. Ive heard it, but I dont think its really better. I might listen again.

[HellyBelly]

I might do one when i'm bored later.

[Billabong]

Some great songs there RedStratocas! Thanks :)

[:dallsgreen]

Someone else said that too. Ive heard it, but I dont think its really better. I might listen again.
After hearing the acoustic version of everlong I felt like the original just didnt compare. Not saying the original is bad, because it isnt its still a very good song, but I just like acoustic a bit more.

[Joe.]

brilliant taste in music :)
