My Top 100 Favorite Songs of All-Time

Here is a list of my Top 100 Favorite Songs of All-Time. As you can see, most of the tunes are either Pop or Rock, with a fairly big bias in favor of one-hit wonders from the '80's. I wonder if there is anyone out there who agrees with this list?

5. Leonard Cohen- Hallelujah

4. David Bowie- Changes

3. Rod Stewart- Downtown Train

2. Queen- Somebody To Love

1. Pink Floyd- Comfortably Numb

...In the end, it was a tough decision between Downtown Train, Somebody To Love, and Comfortably Numb. The aspect that pushes Pink Floyd to the top is purely aesthetics. Rod Stewart and Freddy Mercury could both sing a good pop song, but no one sets a mood like Pink Floyd does.

By the way, in the future, my lists will have more features (possibly some pictures and links), and will be split up into multiple posts. The reason that I have chosen to display these songs in one large list is because there's not much to be done with them.)
