Good thing I don’t do meme’s because I don’t think I can narrow down songs to only a hundred.
Anyway, Awesome list brotha!

Come on, make your own list, it’ll be fun!

It wasn’t easy to come up with 100. Now that I’m done with mine, though, I find that there are about a hundred more I want to add. *sigh*
Also, Bob Dylan’s Times Are A-Changin’ <3 <3 <3

This comment just made search for live versions of that song. Bob Dylan’s live 1976 version and Eddie Vedder’s cover are goosebump-inducing.
And after watching a painful 2008 live version where Dylan basically croaked the song, I’m more than convinced that he should just retire for his dignity’s sake.

Wait. I read this post so that means I’m also tagged. But I already have OMG MY MIND JUST MELTED.

It’s good to see John Lennon songs in your list. And, yes, Gravity is nice. No, I don’t have a Ricky Martin CD. Just a Menudo collection. Anyone remember the heat-resistant tape casings from the Middle East?
