My Top 100 Songs of ALL Time

Music has always been a huge part of my life.  It makes up who I am.  Music is my sanctuary.  When I'm feeling any kind of emotion, there are certain songs that just have a way of making that mood better, even if I am already happy.

 

It was very difficult to do, (I started with over 450...) but I decided to sit down and make a list of my top 100 favorite songs of all time.  This isn't just one genre. It is made up of counry (my favorite), classic rock, oldies, christmas songs, christian, gospel, pop, rock, rap, dance....basically everything.  To help me narrow it down, my criteria was that each song had to have an immediate effect on me as soon as it came on, I had to know the majority of the lyrics, and it had to either mean something to me or just make me wanna move! Also, these songs had to be songs that I couldn't live without on my IPOD. I was going to put them in order of my least favorite to my most favorite (which was impossible to do) so it's in no particular order. So, here they are. Enjoy!
