I’m more an album-lover, it seems. I know a lot of albums I want songs of on this list, but to choose one is hard. The songs don’t seem to be songs, but real album tracks, beautifull with all the other tracks, but not so on a songslist.

thinking about this, I’ve decided not to list Classical music, for the same reason as above. The goldberg variations, although lovely, isn’t a song.

So let’s say this is my top 110 songs.

102. Holy Diver – Dio
103. My Doorbell – The White Stripes
104. White Room – Cream
105. Sweet Leaf – Black Sabbath

107. Good Hearted Woman – Willie Nelson
108. Rose – A Perfect Circle
109. Barracuda – Heart
110. I Am A Lonesome Hobo – Bob Dylan
