20 GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME (For Me)

A few months ago I brilliantly challenged myself to create a list of 20 songs that are timeless for me--songs that I could essentially listen to every single day, and still thoroughly enjoy. This task is difficult, partly because my taste in music has changed drastically and also because of the vast amount of music to sift through. But, alas, I have selected twenty tracks that have a replay value higher than others and, not coincidentally, span every musically stage of my life. I cannot say for sure whether these are truly in the right order, but for the most part they likely are.

Feel free to list your top 10 or 20 songs in the comment section below. I would be interested to know what songs inspire you now and in the past as well. Here they are!
