It’s been about two years since I last made a list of my 100 favorite songs. I’m due for an update. I’ll be posting 10 songs a day, each with an embedded YouTube video. As usual, I limited myself to one song per artist. More importantly, I tried to pick songs that are actually my current favorites. I sometimes try too hard to make lists of my “ALL-TIME FAVORITES,” and in doing so I end up listing songs I might love but don’t listen to very much and/or have worn out a bit. Also, I often feel the need to arbitrarily pick a favorite song by an artist I love, even if I might not be particularly passionate about the track itself. The Beach Boys are a favorite of mine, but I think I’ve listened to Pet Sounds too many times, and there’s no one song I could pick. However, old favorites from Bruce Springsteen and the Replacements still hit home, so they’re on the list. Here we go!
100. Taylor Swift- You Belong With Me
99. Bat for Lashes- Daniel
98. Prince- When You Were Mine
97. Interpol- Obstacle 1
96. Kanye West- Say You Will
95. Jay-Z featuring Rihanna- Umbrella
94. Uncle Tupelo- Still Be Around
93. Phoenix- Love Like a Sunset
92. Ben Folds- Fred Jones Part 2
91. Paul Simon- Slip Slidin’ Away
