I’m trying to compile a list of the absolute best songs ever. Here are my all time favourites (no necessary order). Someday I’ll add my own notes about each song. This list will be constantly updated. So if you’re about to leave an angry comment asking why a song or artist is not on this list, keep in mind that song/artist may not be on the list yet! (However, if you’re about to write an angry comment asking why the hell Will Young is on the list, flame on!)
