From Glen Campbell to Gorguts: Favorite 50 Songs
Here are my top 50 favorite songs as of right now in no particular order. I limited entries to 1 song per album, and up to 3 songs per artist. I decided not to include any classical pieces, jungle mixtapes, etc. as those consist of more than one track/movement. Entries marked with an asterisk are songs I believe to be underrated in the artist’s discography. Without further ado, here are my nifty fifty! |
