Before we start, let me preface this list by saying Fuck You.
You see, top 100 lists of every and any kind are total bullshit and should just be called something else. There are no two people who will agree and for every song on this list there are two others that you think should be on it instead.
That said, here is my list of MY top 100 songs of all time. Feel free to comment, agree with and praise me.
