Now excuse me while I go off to make a playlist for my iPod.

The Phil Guild Guide
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?
Larry
Saw some Orson and Goo Goo here! Awesome list Ade!
Ade
Thanks! I'm checking out the songs from your list that I haven't heard of yet.

Bbbbut, I'm trying to maintain my rocker/musical snob facade here!
Ade

mitch
Great list, Ade! 🙂 Most of the songs you listed, I also love! Might try making my own list too. 🙂

Euri

Ape Rockstar

Ade
Not really a fan of U2 for some reason.
Reesie
Lovely list! I don't think I come up with a hundred. I don't even know the titles of the songs I like. Lol.
I love Pearl Jam's Last Kiss..
erwin

erwin

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

Jewel
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
Ade
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.
Joel Avatari
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!
Ade
Come on, make your own list, it’ll be fun!
