On to my actual list of favorite songs. I typically have a difficult time thinking about songs outside of the context of an album. So, I am completely shocked that I was able to come up with a list of 100 favorite songs this year. But, here it is! Most of my favorite albums are represented on this entire list, but there is a good number from various other releases that I may or may not have enjoyed. I was thinking about keeping a limit at one song per band/artist, but then this list would be much less honest.
Anyway, here's numbers 100 through 61, true list style, no blurbs. I didn't want to be too redundant or completely overwhelming. Here we go!
