Top 100 Songs

This list is a major work in progress. In fact, it will always be subject to change. When I hear a song that is one of my all-time favorites, one of the elites, then I make a note of it. Having XM helps, although at some point I will probably have to visit my cd rack and rack my brain. Even the order will change depending on my mood and immaturity level. If I get real serious, I might even add some commentary. For right now, here they are, 94 total:
