It truly was a fun countdown. We got to go through a journey of awesome music throughout history all the way from Palchebel to Jason Mraz. It was quite enjoyable and I hope it was for you, too. Obviously, it was completely opinionated, but everything is. Here, for you, I have the full list of my rankings, and I have added songs I would put in if I could do it again. Some I forgot, some I learned of during the process. Nevertheless, it was good fun. Be sure to look for the new poll asking YOU what the best song ever made is, in your opinion. Good times.
Songs I Forgot: Cecilia (Simon and Garfunkel), Tomorrow (Annie), Heaven (The Walkmen), Nights on Broadway (Bee Gees), Let It Go (Idina Menzel), Best Day of My Life (American Authors), Ordinary Love (U2), Bye Bye Love (The Everly Brothers), Wake Up Little Suzie (The Everly Brothers), Dream (The Everly Brothers), You May Be Right (Billy Joel), Pompeii (Bastille), The Weight (The Band), Don't Cry Out Loud (Melissa Manchester), Don't Stop Me Now (Queen), Come Sail Away (Styx), Keep On Loving You (REO Speedwagon), Roxanne (The Police), Build Me Up Buttercup (The Foundations), Lookin' Out My Back Door (Creedence Clearwater Revival), Paint It Black (The Rlling Stones), Wouldn't It Be Nice (The Beach Boys)
