I'm writing a new record right now that I'm very excited about. This is the one I've been wanting to write for a while but has somehow been pushed to the side again and again. I think its the best stuff I've ever done, and in honor of trying to make some unforgetable tracks of my own I thought it would be fun to try to tap into my favorite songs of all time.

This was no easy task. It started with 100, then down to 80, and so on. If I'm being perfectly honest, I probably could have picked most of the songs by just using The Beach Boys, The Beatles, and Neil Young. BUT, I wanted to push myself to think a little more than that. So, without further ado, here are my favorite songs of all time based on: favorite bands, favorite albums, catchy pop tunes, good vibes, emotional connections, and overall writer's envy. I feel like I'm missing some good tracks here, and will most likely want to make changes 2 weeks from now. That being said, let the arguments begin!
